Latest fact check

The Federal Election Commission’s announcement on its website states: “it will be the only FEC training this year designed specifically for these types of committees.” The FEC’s trainings page for 2026 lists a single publicly scheduled Nonconnected Committee Webinar on March 18, 2026 and shows other 2026 webinars for candidate and party committees but no additional public trainings specifically for nonconnected PACs. The FEC does offer on-request, tailored One-to-One trainings for organizations, but those are not listed as scheduled public trainings for 2026. Verdict: True — based on the FEC’s published announcement and the 2026 trainings schedule, the March 18 webinar is the only publicly scheduled FEC training in 2026 specifically designed for nonconnected PACs.
