Super Pacs

Super PACs is a type of independent expenditure committee in U.S. campaign finance that belongs to the broader category of political action committees, distinguished by its ability to raise and spend unlimited sums of money from individuals, corporations, and unions to advocate for or against political candidates, while prohibited from coordinating directly with those candidates or their campaigns.
