527 groups and Political Action Committees (PACs) are both types of organizations that engage in political advocacy and fundraising to influence elections and public policy. They can both raise and spend unlimited amounts of money, often focusing on specific issues or candidates. However, while PACs typically contribute directly to candidates' campaigns, 527 groups primarily focus on issue advocacy and can coordinate more freely with political parties. Both play significant roles in the political landscape, especially in shaping electoral outcomes.
