Francia The Future of Organized Labor in American Politics Columbia University Press 9780231503938 WVfdXAqvYwQC 81 A PAC may contribute no more than $5,000 to a federal candidate in a general or primary election.

en Shane Goldmacher; Maggie Haberman; Rachel Shorey Trump Starts PAC for Future Endeavors, Biden Will Speak on Obamacare Case w:The New York Times 2020-11-10 https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/11/10/us/joe-biden-trump 0362-4331 The new group, called Save America, is a federal fund-raising vehicle known as a leadership PAC that has donation limits of $5,000 per donor per year. In that sense, his PAC could become a fan-subsidized machine to perpetuate his agenda and plot his next moves. Leadership PACs are generally seen as loosely regulated — Joseph R. Biden Jr. operated one during the 2018 midterms ahead of his own presidential run — and the committee gives Mr. Trump a place to continue to direct supporter cash. https://web.archive.org/web/20210204135927/https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/11/10/us/joe-biden-trump

es Marlon Sorto Confirman investigación federal contra la excongresista Ros-Lehtinen por fondos de campaña w:CNN en Español https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2020/09/24/confirman-investigacion-federal-contra-la-excongresista-ros-lehtinen-por-fondos-de-campana 2020-09-24 La organización CLC informó en octubre de 2019 que aunque Ros-Lehtinen anunció a inicios de 2017 que no buscaría la reelección, presuntamente transfirió unos US$ 177.455 dólares de su comité de campaña a un Comité de Acción Política (PAC) que dirigía. Los PAC son grupos de interés creados para recaudar dinero de sus miembros, con la única finalidad de aportar los recursos a candidatos o partidos políticos. “Y si un miembro del personal cometió un error o no anotó una comida personal, por decir algo, y dijo: ‘esperen, la campaña o el PAC no puede pagar por eso’, eso ciertamente no es criminal”. https://web.archive.org/web/20251110100358/https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2020/09/24/confirman-investigacion-federal-contra-la-excongresista-ros-lehtinen-por-fondos-de-campana 10 November 2025
