ABSTRACT

With an average annual budget of only $29,118, the National Federation of Federal Employees PAC (NFFE) could easily be classified as a small PAC with little influence in the political process. However, looks can be deceiving. Through its relationship with the Fund for Assuring a Fair Retirement (FAIR) and the Federal Postal Coalition, NFFE is able to achieve far greater access and wield far greater influence in Congress than the mere examination of its contribution records would indicate.
