The largest Muslim American political action committee — building political power through candidate endorsements, financial support, and voter education.
Emgage PAC endorses and financially supports candidates for public office based on their policy positions on issues important to Muslim American communities — from combating hate to supporting social justice.
We produce voter-education products including candidate profiles and endorsement cards, distributed in local communities to help voters learn more about candidates and their positions on key issues.
Officials seeking an Emgage PAC endorsement are assessed based on viability as a candidate as well as their track record on key issues important to our community.
