Former congressional candidate launches group to support ex-officials, veterans run for office

John Sullivan, a former FBI analyst who recently abandoned a New York congressional campaign, is launching Integrity PAC, a hybrid political action committee designed to support former government officials and military veterans seeking elected office. The group represents Sullivan's pivot from his own electoral ambitions to backing candidates with government or military service backgrounds. Integrity PAC reflects a broader trend of political operatives building infrastructure to elevate candidates with executive or national security credentials, particularly those positioned as outsiders to traditional politics. The organization aims to field experienced candidates in competitive races where their government or military records could serve as a distinguishing factor. Sullivan's effort underscores demand among donors and operatives for candidates with demonstrable public service records.
