The Southeast Tennessee Political Action Committee (SETPAC) is a non-profit organization committed to promoting and encouraging responsible stewardship of the public trust. We do this by supporting worthy causes and qualified local and statewide candidates for political office.

SETPAC is not affiliated with any political party and is a non-partisan organization. We endorse candidates whom we feel will honorably serve the best interest of the community, regardless of political party.

To be endorsed by SETPAC, candidates must prove to be informed about issues and positions, show a genuine interest in the well-being of the community, and demonstrate strong leadership and decision-making capabilities. They must have experience and the foundation for a successful campaign, a track record of success, and an understanding of the core mission and values of SETPAC.

After interviewing candidates for a particular race, SETPAC members vote on endorsement by secret ballot. In addition to receiving SETPAC's public endorsement, candidates chosen by SETPAC also receive financial backing in amounts ranging from $250 to $1,000.
