National Policy Action Committee Files with Federal Election Commission
PRINCETON, N.J. — The National Policy Action Committee has officially filed with the Federal Election Commission to establish itself as an independent expenditure Super PAC, Chairman Chris Venis announced today.
The committee will work to elect Republicans in New Jersey’s most critical congressional races by promoting back-to-basics conservative principles focused on liberty, prosperity, and security for all Americans. Initially, the committee will focus on supporting the re-election campaigns of U.S. Rep. Tom Kean Jr. in the 7th District, U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew in the 2nd District, and U.S. Rep. Chris Smith in the 4th District.
The organization also plans to engage in additional races that become competitive unexpectedly. “The shockingly narrow margin by which Nellie Pou won shows that opportunities can materialize overnight,” said Venis, referencing the closely contested 2024 race to succeed the late U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell in the 9th District.
“When a quiet race suddenly turns competitive, campaigns are often caught flat-footed and unprepared to win,” Venis said. “We’re building the infrastructure to move immediately so we can deploy resources, define the fight, and finish it. When the moment demands it, we will pick up the Republican flag, take the fight head-on, and carry it through to victory.”
Looking ahead, the committee also intends to support the Republican nominee challenging U.S. Senator Cory Booker this year. “Senator Booker has made his priorities clear, and representing New Jersey is not one of them,” Venis added. “The people of this state deserve more than an empty seat while he pursues another presidential campaign.”
Venis is a veteran political strategist and consultant with more than three decades of experience advising presidential, congressional, and statewide campaigns in New Jersey and across the country. Over the course of his career he has developed a reputation for strategic planning and campaign execution. His career began under the mentorship of the late U.S. Rep. Bob Franks, a formative influence whose guidance helped shape his approach to politics and public service.
