Value In Electing Women Political Action Committee (VIEWPAC) was founded in 1997 by female Republican Members of Congress and professional women to help elect qualified, viable, serious Republican women to Congress who are serious about governing. VIEWPAC is governed by a voluntary Advisory Board responsible for strategic decisions relating to engagement in key federal races. Incumbent GOP women in the House and Senate attend VIEWPAC events, but they have no official operational role.
VIEWPAC is exclusively dedicated to protecting and increasing the number of Republican women in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. Our singular goal is to strategically provide financial support where and when it is needed most; whether it be for a vulnerable incumbent or a competitive candidate. Since we began our mission over 28 years ago, VIEWPAC has directly contributed and helped to raise over $44,000,000 for Republican women running for Congress.
VIEWPAC does not have a formal litmus test; however, it is understood that candidates are vetted to confirm their genuine interest in legislating and being a discerning member of the House or Senate once elected. We encourages others to follow suit and support our vetted candidates. What began as a way to raise money and contribute money now also serves as a network of people who care about helping other women succeed. More women are taking the leap to run for federal office, in part because they believe they will have the support they need to be successful. Learn more about the candidates we support.
While VIEWPAC has done more to support Republican women running for federal office than any other PAC entity in history, we are far from accomplishing our mission. With our historic success in 2020 and our majority making/keeping victories in the House and Senate in 2022 and 2024, we are fully committed to protecting our newly elected women and continuing to grow our caucus in both Chambers. VIEWPAC will be putting a renewed focus on utilizing its independent expenditure component to strategically deploy voter contact efforts on the ground and on the airwaves to support our vulnerable incumbents and competitive challengers when and where they need it the most.
