FreedomWorks, the Washington-based tea party group led by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas), is starting a super PAC.
The new political action committee will likely be called FreedomWorks Action, though the official name is still being hashed out, Matt Kibbe, the group’s president, said during a conversation with reporters in Roll Call’s newsroom.
The mission for the PAC is not entirely clear, but under federal election law super PACs can make only independent expenditures. The groups, which can raise and spend unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions, associations and individuals, are barred from making direct contributions to campaigns.
