South PAC is a political action committee for the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI), the largest and most effective advocacy organization in the state.

Since its formation in 1989, South PAC has made it a priority to help elect state and local candidates who truly understand the need to support job growth policies and economic development — and defeat those who do not. Acting alone is extremely difficult for an individual business to make a political impact. Investing in South PAC gives our members a collective voice to pack a powerful political punch at the ballot box for the state legislature, Public Service Commission, BESE, the Supreme Court and statewide elections.

How South PAC Works

South PAC was developed so that businesses could collectively impact political campaigns. Our members, comprised of business leaders, community leaders and taxpayers focused on electing supportive politicians who create job-growth policies, decide to whom South PAC funds will be distributed. South PAC also refers to LABI’s annual legislative voting record and scorecard as a strategic tool to hold legislators accountable for their positions on key issues that affect Louisiana’s business climate.

Why Support South PAC ?

We support elected officials who fight to protect your business from the increasing number of politicians who support higher taxes, detrimental lawsuits and other anti-business legislation – not to mention attacks from trial lawyers and unions. South PAC provides a unique opportunity for the business community to work together to elect and support a pro-business legislature and achieve significant reforms to move Louisiana forward.

Your contribution not only provides support to our business champions and business-friendly candidates, but joining South PAC also gives you exclusive access to a wide range of tools and opportunities to participate in the electoral process.
