The Presidential Victory Committee was an "independent expenditure" (I.E.) project of conservative activist Floyd G. Brown in the run up to the 1992 presidential election.[1] In November 1988, Brown was the creator of the related Citizens United.[2]
In 1992, the Committee was headed by David N. Bossie, its executive director.[3]
