Who We Are
Policy Is Personal. And We Make It Public.
Brighter Futures PAC was born from the exhaustion—and the fire—of people who’ve been dismissed, disrespected, and disinvested in for far too long.We’re parents, teachers, organizers, neighbors, and policy experts who believe that our public systems should serve the public—especially when it comes to our children, schools, and communities.We're not here for optics. We're here for outcomes. And we’re building the infrastructure to make it happen.
What We Stand For
A Voice for Accountability, Equity, and Real Policy Change.
Too often, decisions about our schools and communities are made behind closed doors—by people who don’t understand or represent us. We’re here to change that.
Brighter Futures PAC fights for:
✅ Public education that’s fully and equitably funded
✅ Housing solutions that let educators live where they work
✅ A government that works in the daylight—not behind the scenes
✅ Transit and infrastructure that connects people to opportunity
✅ A civic culture where engagement isn’t just encouraged—it’s empowered.
We don’t just talk values—we move them into legislation, campaigns, and community action.

Frequently asked question
Are contributions tax-deductible, and how do you stay inside FEC & Missouri ethics rules?
No. PAC gifts are political, not charitable—so no tax write-off. We file every receipt and expenditure with the FEC (Federal) and the Missouri Ethics Commission within 48 hours; quarterly reports are posted on our website the same day they hit the public database.
Why launch a political-action committee instead of a nonprofit if your rally cry is “community first”?
A PAC lets us do what a 501(c)(3) can’t—directly back candidates and ballot measures that move public-school funding forward. We chose the structure that puts pressure where decisions are made: the ballot box. Community work continues through partner nonprofits; policy change happens here.
Will you still call out City Hall (or the school board) when your own allies are in the crosshairs?
Absolutely. Our conflict-of-interest policy bars us from endorsing—or keeping quiet about—any official who breaks faith with voters. Endorsements come with a scorecard updated every six months. Fail the scorecard twice, lose our support. No sacred cows.
What happens if you miss fundraising or voter-turnout targets—does the whole effort stall?
We built a tiered budget: Core programs (voter registration + candidate scorecards) are prepaid through Q4. Stretch funds fuel extras like field canvasses and media buys. Miss a target, we downshift to core, then publish a revised plan within 14 days—no vanishing acts.
How can parents & educators plug in without writing a check—Is there a true free way in for working-class supporters?
Yes. Three paths:
1) Volunteer canvass shifts (2-hour blocks, transit stipends provided). 2) Digital rapid-response team—share policy alerts from your phone. 3) Story-bank network—record a 60-second video on how funding gaps hit your classroom. Time, voice, and lived experience count as currency here.
