What it is
Equality PAC is registered with the FEC as a hybrid PAC, connected to Equality Congress. In 2026 it has reported $3.7M in independent expenditures across 11 races, 100% of it helping Democrats.
A hybrid PAC keeps two bank accounts: one that gives directly to candidates under contribution limits, and one that spends independently with unlimited money, like a super PAC.
