Although school board races are supposed to be nonpartisan, there’s plenty of political money pouring into local campaigns ahead of the April 7 election.
Political action committees, often referred to as PACs, are groups that advocate for or against a referendum or issue or in support of a candidate. They are also defined as using more than 50% of their total spending in 12 months for those purposes. They must share who their donors are and are limited as to how much they can contribute to candidates.
