Earning Support from PACs and Labor Unions

Political Action Committees (PACs) are organizations that combine money from many contributors to support campaigns that help advance specific issues or specific candidates. PACs can provide a platform for your campaign to raise money, gain endorsements, earn press, and recruit a whole new audience of volunteers and supporters. But your campaign will need to put in work in order to earn the support of these organizations — this course will help you with that.
