Anthropic files to create PAC aiming to back candidates from both parties

Published April 3, 2026 12:48pm ET



Anthropic is creating a federal political action committee that permits its employees to support candidates involved in artificial intelligence policy.

The private company submitted a Federal Election Commission filing on Friday to disclose the formation of the organization, aptly called AnthroPAC. The group will allow Anthropic employees, not the company itself, to donate up to $5,000 per candidate for the 2026 election cycle. Any contribution over that amount is strictly prohibited under federal law.
