Our Operations
Calpine PAC supports candidates who align with Calpine business interests and values. Candidates are carefully vetted based on established criteria and approved by the Calpine PAC Board. All Calpine PAC contributions to lawmakers are within FEC-directed spending limits and can be viewed on the FEC website. Calpine PAC does not contribute to Presidential campaigns or Super PACs.
Our Leadership
The PAC is governed by the Calpine PAC board, a group of employees from functions across the company. The board approves all contributions to federal lawmakers based on established contribution criteria intended to support the company’s advocacy strategy on key policy issues that impact our operations and customers.
