No corporate PAC pledge

The no corporate PAC pledge is a pledge taken by some politicians in the United States to not accept political donations from corporate political action committees (PACs). The rejection of corporate PAC money can increase grassroots support for a candidate. According to political activist Saikat Chakrabarti, "not taking corporate money is a core part of the progressive message".[1]

The trend of pledging not to take corporate PAC money has been increasing. In 2018, three-quarters of Democratic Party challengers in "top races" rejected corporate PAC money.[1][2]
