Description

Press release from the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce: April 8, 2022 In an effort to be more transparent with our members and help you understand our direction around local policy, we wanted to discuss what a political action committee typically is, what our Chamber PAC specifically works on and how you can learn more about these efforts. Over the next couple of months, the Advocates PAC series will address the importance of endorsements, how to get involved and the critical role member contributions play in our PAC's success. A political action committee (PAC) raises and donates money to support or oppose candidates. PACs can also support ballot initiatives and legislation and can represent businesses and organizations, labor unions or ideological interests like school choice or immigration reform.
