Solano County Democratic Central Committee Fund Raiser (California)

Once a year our Democratic Central Committee has a Crab Feed as a fundraiser. The funds are used to rent campaign headquarters and to buy tens of thousands door hangers. It was a great event and I'm glad I was able to contribute.
Fundraising also plays a major role in political campaigns. This fact, despite numerous campaign finance reform laws, continues to be a highly controversial topic in American politics. Political action committees (PACs) are the best-known organizations that back candidates and political parties, though others such as 527 groups also have an impact. Some advocacy organizations conduct fundraising for-or-against policy issues in an attempt to influence legislation. Wikipedia: Political Campaigns
