The FSPAC’s Board of Directors meets regularly to approve contributions to individual candidates. The Board uses a checklist of questions in determining which candidates to support. By law, the FSPAC is allowed to contribute up to $10,000 total to the election campaign of a single federal candidate ($5,000 for the primary campaign and $5,000 for the general election).

The FSPAC is bipartisan in distributing funding, though in the last election cycle we distributed approximately 73% of our funding to Republican candidates. This funding breakdown reflected four facts:

1. Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress;
2. more than twice as many Greeks in Congress are Republican than Democrats;
3. most of the PAC’s donors to date who list a political affiliation are Republican; and
4. Republicans are currently more supportive of the PAC’s policy objectives.

With the Democrats in control of both chambers of Congress, the PAC’s contributions will be more balanced between the parties this cycle.
