tor ($2000) is the political party committee, Leadership 21.
Leadership 21’s last FEC filing (8/30/02) shows that it, in turn, does accept contributions from PACs and, in fact, all contributions as of the Aug. 30 filing date were recorded as being from “Other Political Committees (such as PACs).” The quoted phrase, including that in parentheses, is from line 11c of the FEC Form 3X, and the totals on that line do not include contributions from individuals or from “Political Party Committees.”
So, while Mr. Jones does not accept direct contributions from PACs, he does collect them indirectly—through Leadership 21. Both Mr. Cantor and Mr. Jones have accepted contributions, directly or indirectly, from a few of the same or similar PACs— American Hospital Association PAC, Ernst and Young PAC, Federal Express PAC, and a UST, Inc. PAC.
Certainly Mr. Cantor has collected far more PAC money—$616,842 vs. $2000 (if one considers the Leadership 21 contributions)—but it is clear that, despite his disavowal, Mr. Jones’ campaign is benefiting from PAC resources.
