" That's total BS. Kerry never took any PAC money and resisted soft money"
Citizen Soldier Fund
On December 17, 2001 Sen. Kerry opened the Citizen Soldier Fund, a leadership PAC, to help Democratic candidates. The PAC raised more than $1.9 million and made significant contributions to candidates and committees in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, in addition to purchasing the Iowa and New Hampshire Democratic parties' voter files. Citizen Soldier Fund also conducted a couple of trainings for young activists. Citizen Soldier Fund Finances Total Receipts Total Disbursements Cash On Hand

Kerry Committee
Angelique Pirozzi served as campaign manager of Sen. Kerry's re-election campaign. Previously, she directed the Democrats' coordinated campaign in Wisconsin in Fall 2000, and she worked on the Clinton/Gore campaign in New Hampshire in 1996. Peter Maroney served as the Kerry Committee's finance director. Jill Alper, a principal at the Dewey Square Group, helped the campaign as well.
Over the six-year cycle, the Kerry Committee raised $14.0 million and spent $9.1 million, finishing with $2.9 million in cash on hand. Of the $9.1 million, about $3.2 million went to pay off debts from Kerry's tight 1996 campaign against William Weld. Kerry will be able to convert the $2.9 million in unused funds to a presidential campaign. He also built up a direct mail list with about 200,000 names.
