MainPAC

r focus tends to be races that are often called "down ballot" races, ones that show up further down the ballot. Efforts to maintain moderate, nonpartisan and rational leadership in our region are very important to us as MainStream Coalition members and MainPAC donors. You will find MainPAC's endorsements on this page in the weeks leading up to Election Day. The MainStream Coalition has been fighting a wave of conservatism since the mid-1990s. Following Newt Gingrich's Conservative Revolution on 1993, many of our moderate yet progressive leaders left the political arena or were defeated. The MainStream Coalition, and later, MainPAC, were founded by people who were deeply troubled by the rising power of political and religious leaders from the far right. Our state, our region, and our country have taken a sharp turn to the right politically. MainPAC seeks to be a counter voice to these prevailing political winds. We are not interested in governance from extreme positions. Your support of MainPAC will be used to support moderate candidates, regardless of party, who support the moderate principles and perspectives of the MainStream Coalition and our members.
