candidate committees
Candidate committees are organizations formed to support individuals running for political office. These committees are responsible for raising funds, managing campaign activities, and promoting the candidate's message to voters. They must adhere to specific regulations set by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) regarding contributions and expenditures.
Typically, candidate committees are established by the candidates themselves and can include volunteers and paid staff. They play a crucial role in the electoral process by organizing events, creating advertisements, and engaging with the community to build support. Properly functioning candidate committees help ensure transparency and accountability in political campaigns.
