Before we jump into analyzing Blaine Luetkmeyer, we wanted to give you some simple facts on what exactly advocacy groups do and how they influence the candidate. Until the end of the election the common groups we'll be looking at are Political Action Committee's (PAC's), third party organizations or interest groups and anyone financially supporting a republican candidate.
A PAC is a special committee that raises money to support or defeat a candidate. The main goal of a PAC is to represent a specific company or organization and influence candidates in office to pass legislature that would work in their favor.
Interest groups favor candidates that they know will enact legislature benefiting their specific cause. Interest groups can also be formed to support political views, such as pro-life or pro-choice interest groups.
We're going to watch these groups that are donating to each of our local republican candidates from Adair county. Our goal is to make you aware of the groups that are donating to candidates and how they effect the candidate if they are elected.
