APACE Political Action Committee (PAC)

The APACE Political Action Committee (PAC) manages the endorsement process for the APACE C4. The PAC decides which races to consider in two rounds of endorsements — one before the primary election and one before the general election — prioritizing races where there is a progressive AAPI candidate, races in areas with a significant AAPI population and races of strategic importance. If a race is chosen for consideration, the PAC requests that candidates complete a questionnaire.

Candidates meeting our criteria are then invited to interview with the PAC based on questionnaire responses. After interviews, the PAC makes recommendations to the APACE C4 board. APACE C4 board votes are considered the official decision on which candidates to endorse.

Endorsed candidates are featured in ads in ethnic media and are welcome to use the APACE C4 logo on campaign materials. The PAC makes donations to select candidates, and the APACE C4 makes decisions about which candidates receive field support. APACE C4 also participates in independent expenditure campaigns.

If you are a candidate and woduld like to be considered, email misty@apace-wa.org.
