PODER PAC

PODER PAC is an American Democratic Party political action committee (PAC) founded in 2008 in Orlando, Florida.^[1] Its goal is to increase and support pro-choice Latinas running for all levels of elected office.^[2][3][4][5]

In 2008, it supported Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party nomination for president.^[6]

In 2016, its mission changed to exclusively electing Latinas to the US Congress.^[6] and hosted a fundraiser in Philadelphia with Loretta Sanchez for California's US Senate election.^[7][8]

In 2020, Mike Bloomberg gave $500,000 to the group in an effort to win the 2020 United States presidential election in Florida for Joe Biden.^[9]

After Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022, the group said it was imperative to support more pro-choice Latinos for Congress.^[10][11] It said that the decision may help elect more candidates.^[12]

The group has supported 90% of Democratic Latinas in the 117th United States Congress.^[13] In 2022 it launched the Poderosas 2022 Protection Program to support pro choice Latina incumbents.^[14]
