Super PAC
AMERICAN CROSSROADS
Considered the granddaddy of all super PACs, American Crossroads was
founded in April 2010 with the help of Ed Gillespie, a former chairman of the
Republican National Committee, and Karl Rove, a Republican strategist who
served as senior adviser to President George W. Bush. Neither work for the super
PAC in any official capacity. The
PAC's chairman is Mike Duncan, a former RNC chairman. Its president and CEO is
Steven Law, once the general counsel to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a
former deputy labor secretary under Bush. Duncan and Law run the PAC's daily
activities. Together with its sister group, Crossroads
Grassroots Policy Strategies,
or Crossroads GPS, the PAC works to elect Republicans. The fundraising
juggernaut has said it plans to raise $240 million for the 2012 election cycle --
twice as much as initially planned. In comparison, the two groups spent an
estimated $43 million on the 2010 midterm elections,
according to the Center for Responsive Politics. | See this committee's FEC-reported expenditures at PACTrack »
