BEARD PAC Formed

BEARD PAC is now an official political action group in the United States.

The group filed their paperwork on Wednesday, with the Federal Elections Committee.

A non partisan organization, they will only support people with beards.

Candidates who shave off their bears, will automatically be kicked out of the PAC.

According to their press statement:

Bearded Entrepreneurs for the Advancement of a Responsible Democracy will act to independently support the candidacies of bearded candidates nationwide.

“With the resurgence of beards in popular culture and among today’s younger generation, we believe the time is now to bring facial hair back into politics” said BEARD PAC Founder Jonathan Sessions.  He added “We haven’t had a bearded major party candidate run for President since Charles Evans Hughes ran and lost in 1916, and there has been a recent wave of retirements amongst bearded Congressmen, including David Obey and Steve LaTourette. Our hope is that we can start to reverse this disturbing trend.”  

BEARD PAC is non-partisan, and will support candidates from across the political spectrum and across all levels of government, so long as they meet minimum facial hair requirements.  

“It’s been 125 years since our last bearded President, Benjamin Harrison, was elected” said BEARD PAC Communications Director Andy Shapero. “We’re hoping that with our support, bearded individuals will shrug off over a century of political irrelevance and start running for office again.”
