Political action committees are formed to raise and spend money on candidates.
They often are created to advance a political agenda or further the interests of businesses or industries.
The PAC in this week’s spotlight is the Committee to Elect Brad Mitzelfelt.
Mitzelfelt represents the 1st District on the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors. The district includes Hesperia, Adelanto, Victorville, Barstow, Needles and Twentynine Palms.
