After vowing to never accept funds from corporate Political Action Committees (PACs) during her 2018 campaign, Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., reversed her stance and accepted over $30,000 to cover 2020 campaign debts. Fox News could not immediately reach Luria to comment on her change of heart, but FEC records show she accepted roughly $34,000, which more than covered her arrears. Corporate PAC campaign contributions are personal donations made from executives or employees of a company and do not come from the corporation’s capital. But some politicians, in particular Democrats, have been making it a cornerstone of their campaigns not to accept any donations from corporate PACs. This allows politicians to differentiate themselves from fellow candidates by telling voters that their political agenda is not beholden to special interests.
