About Us

The Organization

The Centrist Independent Voter Political Action Committee, Inc. (CIVPAC) is a non-profit corporation. The objective of CIVPAC is to promote the election of centrist candidates, whether Democratic, Republican, or independent, and to promote a centrist public policy agenda.

CIVPAC is registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) as a non-connected, “independent expenditure only” Political Action Committee, commonly referred to as a “Super PAC.”

CIVPAC is free to support or oppose the election of candidates in federal elections and to engage in issue advocacy surrounding those elections. CIVPAC is not currently seeking donations. However, the size of donations to these kinds of organizations is not constrained by the FEC, nor are these kinds of PACs limited in the amount of money they can spend on the support of or opposition to candidates for federal election.

They are, however, prohibited from coordinating their actions with candidates, political parties, or affiliated political committees. In addition, a PAC must report the name, address, occupation, and name of employer to the FEC for donations in excess of $200 per calendar year. All donors must be U.S. citizens, and if they are not over 18, their donations must be from their own funds.

The Board of Governors will appoint additional Board members, up to a maximum of twenty-five, and officers, including an Executive Director and a Treasurer. These officers maintain the website and use it to support the election of candidates whose views are consistent with those of CIVPAC. They also engage in issue advocacy efforts to support the points of view presented on CIVPAC’s website. The actions of CIVPAC’s officers are subject to the approval of the Board of Governors.

We are now recruiting additional Board members. Our objective is to have a Board that reflects as broad a range of political perspectives as possible, while remaining philosophically centrist. Membership on the Board of Governors does not imply that a Board member necessarily agrees with all of the policy positions or endorsements of CIVPAC.

If you would like to be considered for membership on the Board of Governors, please Contact Us with a brief summary of your background and political philosophy.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

In the spring of 2026, CIVPAC began using AI tools to assist with research, drafting, editing, and issue analysis. All policy positions, endorsements, and published judgments are reviewed, revised, and approved by CIVPAC.
