HISTORY Originally formed by Tom DeLay (R-Texas), Jim Ellis and several of close associates, it was created with the goal of electing a Republican majority in the United States Congress for the 2000 elections. Enron hosted ARMPAC's first fundraiser. It was held in Enron's hometown of Houston, Texas and raised $280,000 for DeLay's new leadership PAC. Subsequent disclosures show that Enron and its executives gave early and often. Ken Lay contributed $50,000 to ARMPAC, Enron Vice Chairman, Joseph Sutton , contributed another $25,000. The full extent of Enron's financial support for ARMPAC may never be known since reporting such contributions became mandatory only in 2000. {Link without Title} ARMPAC was housed in the same Washington, D.C. townhouse and shared many of the same former DeLay staffers as Alexander Strategy Group and U.S. Family Network . {Link without Title} OFFICERS AND NOTABLE MEMBERS
INDICTMENTS In December 2005 , Senior District Judge Pat Priest threw out charges accusing Representative Tom DeLay and of his two associates John Colyandro and Jim Ellis of conspiring to violate the state election code, but he upheld charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Judge Pat Priest also dismissed a conspiracy charge against Rep. Tom DeLay but refused to throw out far more serious allegations of money-laundering. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL REFERENCES
