Defending Main Street

The Defending Main Street Super PAC is the most effective independent expenditure organization supporting the governing wing of the Republican Party. We now have over 65 members of Congress and our membership makes up over one-quarter of the House Republican Conference. Main Street’s members are the Republican Party’s majority-makers. Because they represent “purple states” and swing districts (or even majority-Democrat districts), they provide the margin that has enabled the Republican Party to maintain its majority in the Senate and a near-record majority in the House. Main Street’s members increasingly have become the workhorses of the Republican Party. In the 114th Congress, they introduced more than 250 bills that passed one or both houses of Congress, more than a hundred of which were signed into law. eir governing responsibilities are only increasing in the 115th Congress now that Republicans control the White House and our members chair 5 committees and 24 subcommittees.
