PACTrac has been compiled every two years by the PEG Education Foundation since 1991. The PBC Education Foundation continues this research in 2009.

This study seeks to provide Pennsylvanians with insight into the campaign finance process: who is legally collecting and expending the greatest amount of political money in the Commonwealth.

Using information individual PACs reported to the PA Department of State for the 2007‐2008 election cycle, we ranked PACs by expenditures made to influence PA elections, or for PA operating costs, i.e., credit card companies, phone and utility expenses, professional services from vendors. Expenditures to federal candidates and PACs are excluded.

Total expenditures of each PAC were divided into five categories:

1. Expenditures to candidates running for state office 2. Expenditures to candidates running for local office 3. Expenditures to Party PACs and Leader PACs 4. Expenditures to other PACs 5. Miscellaneous expenditures
