In Move Toward Campaign, Christie Creates PAC and Hires Staff

January 26th, 2015 - PACS

To start his 2016 campaign, Chris Christie looks forward to start his own PAC. This PAC will include eight skilled and experienced campaign managers. This new PAC is to be named, “Leadership Matters For America", which will allow him to raise a ridiculous amount of money for the Republican campaign in the 2016 election. The PAC’s finance chairman will be Ray Washburne, former chairman of the Republican National Committee; its senior advisers will be Phil Cox, former executive director of the Republican Governors Association, and Mike DuHaime. This PAC will also employ several other campaign, promotional, and finance managers from different states.

Chris Christie made a bold move to create a PAC. Not only will this help his campaign  but it will promote other Republican candidates. As  a whole I thought this was interesting. Now that I understand what PACs are and how they function helps me to understand how campaigns work. By creating a PAC Chris Christie and his Republican allies have the potential to raise a plethora of campaign money.
