The Iranian American Political Action Committee (IAPAC) is a non-connected/non-partisan political committee. The purpose of IAPAC is to solicit contributions which are in compliance with federal and state laws and promote the election of candidates for public office who are in tune to the domestic concerns and demands of the Iranian American community. The goal of IAPAC is to ensure that Iranian Americans have an influential voice and presence in the American electoral and legislative process. IAPAC is focused on the needs of our community in the United States and is not concerned with issues pertaining to U.S. foreign policy towards Iran.

IAPAC is committed to enhancing Iranian American participation in the American electoral process by rewarding candidates who are responsive to our community's needs while challenging those with opposing viewpoints. The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended, permits the establishment of Political Action Committees (PAC) for the purpose of raising and spending funds to elect and defeat candidates for public office. While individuals are permitted to donate no more then $2,000 to any one candidate per election, federal law permits a multi-candidate PAC, once qualified, to legally contribute $5,000 per election to candidates running for federal office.
