PACRONYMS

This alphabetical list of acronyms, abbreviations, initials, and common names of federal PACs (PACs) was prepared to help researchers readily identify committees when their full names are not disclosed on campaign finance reports.

The list includes the PACRONYM, full committee name, city and state of its address, FEC I.D. number, and the name of its sponsoring, connected, or affiliated organization (if not readily identifiable from the full committee name). Unless noted otherwise in the full committee name, the acronym “PAC” refers to “Political Action Committee.” There is an appendix included which lists other standard abbreviations commonly used in committee names.

Other lists are available from the Public Records Office that may be helpful to researchers:

All federal political committees, arranged alphabetically by name of committee, showing the treasurer's name, committee address, and sponsoring, connected, or affiliated organization.

All federal PACs arranged by state, showing committee name, address, treasurer's name, and sponsoring, connected, or affiliated organization.

All sponsoring organizations of federal political committees, arranged alphabetically by name of the sponsoring organization and showing the name of the committee.

Database research to locate federal political committees when only one or two words of the committee name are known.

The idea for PACRONYMS came from the Washington Public Disclosure Commission. In 1990, they published a listing of acronyms of state political committees filing under Washington state law.

Comments, corrections or additions should be forwarded to the Public Records Office at 800/4249530 or 202/694-1120. The e-mail address is .
