The BOULE 1904 PAC is a multi-candidate federal PAC that was founded under the direction of Chairman Jim Cole, in 2016 with the efforts of Marcus Mason, Pluria Marshall and Royce West. BOULE 1904 PAC is a disconnected PAC meaning it is “affiliated with” but not “connected” to the Boule, given its 501c(3) status.
The PAC is “nonpartisan”. The PAC is intended to support African American candidates who represent like interests for black and brown people.
The BOULE 1904 PAC gives to Archons and Archousa seeking federal office and, supports those candidates not affiliated with the Boule but who are recommended by an Archon/Archousa.
Two of the earliest beneficiaries of the BOULE 1904 PAC during the 2018 primary cycle were Antonio Delgado and Ayanna Pressley. Last cycle, Archon Warnock was the biggest beneficiary of the BOULE 1904 PAC via direct donations during the primary and the general and, via bundling efforts where the PAC worked with the Warnock campaign to send Boule member donations directly to the campaign during an event it co-sponsored with the CBCPAC.
Moving forward, the BOULE 1904 PAC will be focused on candidates aligned with our members’ business and economic interests. Of particular interest are those House and Senate candidates involved in policy-making in Financial Services, Banking, and Commerce. Initially, we will focus on virtual events that will raise funds to be paid either directly to the candidate or to the PAC via ActBlue fundraising platform. In person events will not be an immediate focus of the PAC. All fundraising activity will be directed towards members of Sigma Pi Phi, only. No outside donors will be sought.
About the Politics and Policy Series:
The Policy and Politics series is a benefit to our donors who supported the PAC and gives them an opportunity to exchange thoughts with our nation’s leaders. The series invites elected officials to discuss their efforts on behalf of our community and serves as a platform for educating the Boule 1904 PAC on how to leverage their expertise, resources, and networks to help accomplish those goals.
These policy updates have included.
These Policy and Education sessions come to you with the hard work and dedication of the BOULE 1904 PAC team who work ensure that our interests are represented. As a nonpartisan PAC, we look for opportunities to collaborate with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents that are aligned with our values and priorities.
