Mission Statement

Citrus Political Action Committee is dedicated to making the political process more accessible to young Americans. We support young candidates early in their political careers, give young voters a presence in political debates through issue and candidate campaigns, and offer students the opportunity to run their own ongoing campaign.

We give young voters a presence in political debates through issue and candidate campaigns. Many young people have strong feelings about the policies of their government and the direction of their nation, but are unsure how to effectively marshal their resources to achieve change. Citrus PAC functions as a conduit between young activists and campaigns to make America a better place. Citrus PAC connects young people to issue and candidate campaigns through volunteering, exposure to public officials, and grassroots organization and lobbying. These are experiences that energize young people to continue volunteer activism throughout their lives.

We offer students the opportunity to run their own ongoing campaign. In order to forward the progressive agenda, we must first clearly articulate that agenda to voters and win elections with that platform. Therefore, progressives must make significant advances in training their next generation of political operatives. Citrus PAC gives America’s most promising political minds the opportunity to test their theories and hone their skills in an environment that encourages experimentation, fosters professionalism, and accepts the challenges of balancing academics and activism.
