As our summer intern, Eloise Hupfer, finishes her time with our team, she reflects on her experience with NABPAC on the latest #FactsAboutPACs podcast. One of her biggest projects was researching Super PACs, and she succinctly describes how they couldn't be more different than business and association PACs - something more people need to understand. We want to thank The Fund for American Studies for their wonderful Washington, D.C. internship program. We're proud to partner with them year after year to bring aspiring individuals to D.C. to learn more about PACs and government. We'll miss you Eloise, and wish you the best of luck with your junior year at Wofford College!
