Meta is launching a California super PAC


The group will support state-level political candidates who espouse tech-friendly policies, particularly in regard to AI regulation.

The budget behind the social media company's new super PAC, dubbed Mobilizing Economic Transformation Across (Meta) California, is reported to be in the tens of millions of dollars, but no exact figure has been disclosed. This creation of the super PAC puts Meta into a prominent position to influence races in 2026, when California will have midterm elections and vote for a new governor. "Sacramento’s regulatory environment could stifle innovation, block AI progress, and put California’s technology leadership at risk," said Brian Rice, vice president of public policy at Meta.
