Corporate PACs Took A Beating In The Election. Now They Want More Power. Need outspend small donors!

Courting Democrats and veteran journalists is part of their strategy.



A trade group representing corporate political action committees plans to push back on growing skepticism of big business’s influence by bashing the less-regulated super PACs, courting friendly politicians and journalists, and even demanding higher campaign contribution limits.

Attorneys and lobbyists for the National Association of Business Political Action Committees (NABPAC) delivered a PowerPoint presentation, obtained by HuffPost, titled, “Challenging the Narrative & Opening Minds: PACs and the 116th Congress,” at NABPAC’s Nov. 15 conference at The Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida.

The presenters outlined a plan to combat “anti-PAC rhetoric” and “anti-PAC pledges,” including “relationships with key influencers,” reporters and members of Congress.

The NABPAC presentation advises its member organizations on the best way to “rebut” the criticism of PACs: emphasizing that federal PACs, unlike less-regulated super PACs and 501(c)(4)s, are “the cleanest money in politics” and “the most bipartisan in politics” and that they “inspire political involvement.”
