Drag PAC, formed by RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni, aims to boost Gen Z voter turnout and fight anti-LGBTQ+ legislation with initial donations of $20,000.
A group of RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni, including Jinkx Monsoon and Monét X Change, have formed Drag PAC, the first political action committee aimed at increasing Gen Z voter turnout and combating legislation against LGBTQ+ rights. The committee seeks to address the rise in anti-drag performance bills, with some states like Tennessee and Montana already implementing bans.
Drag PAC operates as a hybrid PAC, allowing it to take unlimited donations for independent expenditures and maintain a restricted account for federal candidate contributions. Its initial filings indicate $20,000 in donations.
