**Protect Ohio Values (POV PAC)** was an American super political action committee (PAC) based in Alexandria, Virginia. Its purpose was to elect JD Vance to the United States Senate to represent the State of Ohio.[\[1\]](#fn1)

## History

POV was registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on February 24, 2021.[\[2\]](#fn2)

On June 6, 2022, the Campaign Legal Center (CLC) filed an FEC complaint alleging that POV made illegal in-kind contributions to JD Vance's senatorial campaign "in the form of polling data, voter targeting information and draft campaign communications."[\[3\]](#fn3)
