What is a SUPER PAC?
Super PACs
Super PACs are a new kind of political action committee created in July 2010 following the
outcome of a federal court case known as SpeechNow.org v. Federal Election
Commission.
Technically known as independent expenditure-only committees, Super PACs may raise unlimited sums of money
from corporations, unions, associations and individuals, then spend unlimited sums to overtly advocate for or
against political candidates. Super PACs must, however, report their donors to the Federal Election Commission
on a monthly or quarterly basis -- the Super PAC's choice -- as a traditional PAC would. Unlike traditional PACs,
Super PACs are prohibited from donating money directly to political candidates. For more information about how much money Super PACS spend and how, check out the source of this excerpt: Opensecrets
