Congressional Black Congress Political Action Committee

The CBC PAC's mission is to increase the number of African Americans in Congress; to support non-Black candidates who champion our interests; and to promote African American participation in the political process—with a special emphasis on young voters. We achieve this mission by pooling political contributions from people like you and using the money to make our voice heard in key campaigns.

African-Americans make up 12% of the U.S. population but we fall short of that representation in the U.S. Congress. Of the 435 Members of the U.S. House of representatives, only 43 are Black (9.8%) and of the 100 Members of the U.S. Senate only 1 is Black.
