About Independent pac

Independent PAC is a hybrid federal political committee registered with the Federal Election Commission, committee ID C00884924, based in Mountain Brook, Alabama. It supports independent candidates for federal office through independent expenditures and issue advocacy. In 2026 it is active in three races: the U.S. Senate election in Montana, and the House elections in Iowa's 1st and Illinois' 4th districts.

What Independent PAC believes

The state or district comes before the party.

A representative's first loyalty should be to the people who elected them, not to a caucus.

Washington has to be held to account.

Members of Congress should not trade stocks on information the public does not have, and public office should not be a career plan.

Everyday costs are the real issue.

Housing, health care, groceries and utilities are what people actually feel, and they get less attention than the arguments that generate headlines.

One person can change the outcome.

In closely divided chambers, a single seat that answers to a district rather than a party carries disproportionate weight.
