IEC PAC is IEC’s political action committee, which contributes funds to candidates running for federal office. IEC PAC helps elect merit shop champions who can help advance IEC’s policy agenda.
IEC PAC is highly regulated by federal law. IEC PAC may only solicit personal contributions from a company’s restricted class (generally executive and administrative personnel) after prior written authorization is provided by company leadership.
IEC PAC is governed by the IEC PAC Committee, which is comprised of IEC members from across the country. The Committee oversees IEC PAC’s fundraising activities, financials, and its contributions to candidates.
IEC cannot specifically ask for a contribution until a senior executive within an IEC member company signs a prior approval form, also known as a PAC authorization form.
A prior approval or PAC authorization form is a form required by the Federal Elections Commission of all trade associations with corporate members. IEC may not solicit funds from members that have not completed this form.
IEC PAC may only accept contributions from an individual’s personal funds. The contributions may not come from a member’s business (corporate funds), may not be expensed, and are not tax deductible.
IEC PAC contributes to pro-growth, pro-business, pro-merit shop candidates for Congress.
Any senior executive and administrative personnel of an IEC member company may contribute to IEC PAC.
An IEC member may contribute a maximum of $5,000 in a calendar year
