Overview
- Two new groups — Forge the Future Project for Republicans and Making Our Tomorrow for Democrats — join the META PAC in California and the American Technology Excellence Project.
- The effort begins this week with initial spending in Texas and Illinois as primaries approach and early voting gets underway.
- Company representatives say the push is driven by concern that fragmented state laws could impede AI development and related datacenter growth.
- In Texas, GOP strategist Brian Baker says the Republican-focused PAC will elevate pro‑tech legislators, while in Illinois the Democratic group is targeting at least four State House races.
- Filings link the PACs to Meta despite the company not publicly touting them, with previous reports citing about $20 million into the California PAC and $45 million into the national PAC.
