Which entities include Political Action Committees and Super PACs?

• A. PACs/Super PACs
• B. Political Parties
• C. Labor Unions
• D. Nonprofits

Answer: (A)

Both PACs and Super PACs are forms of political committees that raise and spend money to influence elections. A traditional PAC contributes to candidates and party committees within contribution limits, while a Super PAC can raise unlimited funds from individuals, corporations, and unions and spend to advocate on elections independently, without directly contributing to candidates or parties. Because they are both types of political committees, the category that includes both is PACs and Super PACs. The other options refer to larger or different kinds of organizations (parties, unions, nonprofits) that aren’t the specific combined category for these two types.
