GOPAC Election Fund Endorses Nancy Mace and Chris Jacobs for U.S. Congress
Washington, DC – Today, the GOPAC Election Fund has added Nancy Mace and Chris Jacobs to our Twenty in ’20 program.
“Nancy and Chris have shown a passion for serving others to make the lives of those they represent easier, safer, and better,” said GOPAC Chairman David Avella. “As state legislators who have both started small businesses, Nancy and Chris will bring a much-needed perspective to the US House as we work to get our nation past COVID-19. They will both work tirelessly alongside President Trump to restore Americans’ take-home pay and retirement accounts.”
Mace is running to win back South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, which was won by Democrat Joe Cunningham in 2018. Jacobs is running in both a special election and in November’s general election to fill the seat currently vacant in New York’s 27th Congressional District.
The Twenty in ‘20 program supports GOPAC-affiliated leaders running for the U.S. Senate and House in their primary and general elections. Endorsed candidates receive the maximum allowable federal contribution from the GOPAC Election Fund. Further, the GOPAC Election Fund investors and supporters are encouraged to donate directly to each endorsed candidate. The candidates are also eligible for GOPAC Election Fund independent expenditures.
