political organization
Group seeking power
A political organization is any group formed to influence government policy, elect candidates, or advance a political agenda.
The term covers parties, advocacy groups, lobbying firms, and grassroots movements.
In legal contexts, especially U.S. tax law, political organization has a narrow technical meaning: an entity organized primarily to accept contributions or make expenditures for political campaigns.
