You can see who the PAC supports here.
Welcome to APC. I feel honored to be the respondent of your first post.

Your description of the ALPA PAC is the brochure description. That description uses the link that you post to only discuss the money sent to incumbent legislators. When you look at that same report and study where the money goes for non-incumbents, the money goes almost exclusively to left wing democrats.

Money spent on incumbents is simply purchasing access to people in power. Money spent on non-incumbents shows where ALPA PAC wants the legislative branch to move each election. Based on the overwhelming amount of non-incumbent money going to left wing democrats, ALPA PAC is not pilot partisan. ALPA PAC is a left wing support group.
