If you were the administrator of a small business PAC, you would be most likely to contribute campaign funds to:
  1. An incumbent who is a member of the sub-committee in charge of regulating small businesses.
  2. The challenger to an open congressional seat.
  3. Any candidate who shares your ideology.
  4. A candidate from the area where the small businesses are located.

Explanation
Answer: A - If you were the administrator of a small business PAC, you would be most likely to contribute campaign funds to an incumbent who is a member of the sub-committee in charge of regulating small business. PACs are interest groups that want to spend money where it is likely to do the most good-with someone who already holds power. Committee members are the ones to most influence legislation in your area of interest, and therefore tend to receive a disproportionate amount of PAC money. Basically, PACs want to spend their money where it can be most efficiently used.
