The official "state legislative PAC thread" - OP will remain updated.

It seems some people are looking for this PAC to be something to fight near-impossible high-profile races. I don't think this is the goal, is it? One of the major advantages of local/state elections is that they're very low-profile, relatively. When attention by organized grassroots is paid - like we did with Glen Bradley - we can see big results with relatively little organization. It should be a behind-the-scenes organization quietly offering financial support to candidates the PAC leadership deems viable, where a $10k donation would make a major shift in the vote #s, I would think.

On another tangent - who is the target audience in asking for donations? Is it supposed to be us - forum members, primarily? Aren't we generally well-educated enough to have no use for a PAC when we research each candidate individually and spend enough time here to know the liberty candidates we're interested in?

Major benefit of the PAC would be that in many cases, it acts as a sort of mutually beneficial promotion for both the PAC and the candidate to have an endorsement. Both candidate and PAC can create a press release saying "I am proud to endorse/have the endorsement of" the other, generates buzz, draws attention. How many people on the forum still didn't really know about Gunny's race on election night? It also would encourage donations and a focus on state-level races to an extent that we haven't really had before.
 
After researching it, Texas does appear to have no PAC limit for state candidates, as posted earlier on the thread. I will be talking with a friend of the family involved in political campaigns to confirm questions about PAC contributions in Texas.
