Short for Political Action Committee, a PAC is essentially a separate bank account to collect money that can be contributed to political election and re-election campaigns. The amount that can be contributed to each campaign is strictly regulated by law and the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

Corporations and their executives have the ability to spend large amounts on candidates in elections. You can bet that companies giving high-dollar contributions can meet with members of Congress anytime they have an issue of concern. Most of us individually don’t have the money to donate the way a large corporation can. But by joining together through our PAC, our small contributions add up and have an impactful voice that will be heard at election time and beyond.

APFA Government Affairs Representatives get additional access to members of Congress through their campaign fundraising events. APFA has an equal opportunity to talk with new candidates and current members of Congress, alerting them to APFA’s positions on issues such as evacuation regulations, FAA minimum crew requirements, toxic fume events, disruptive passengers, turbulence, radiation, FMLA, and many other aviation safety issues. The larger the PAC, the more education APFA can provide Congress. APFA has faced and will continue to face many issues that require a stronger presence in Washington, D.C. Your voluntary donations to PAC help to ensure that our 28,000 members have direct voice and a seat at the table with those we send to Washington.

Campaign contributions are made based on the issues that affect American Airlines Flight Attendants. Our focus is the workplace. For example, those who voted to protect our jobs and healthcare through the Payroll Support Program are members of Congress that APFA would like to help re-elect to Congress. Our PAC is bipartisan.
