- Ready PAC, formerly Ready for Hillary, was a super PAC created to draft Hillary Clinton for the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Ready for Hillary focused on grassroots organizing and did not engage in television advertising. The PAC was founded by Adam Parkhomenko and Allida Black. Ready for Hillary supporters included Gavin Newsom, Jennifer Siebel, James Carville, Harold M. Ickes, Claire McCaskill, Tim Ryan, Jennifer Granholm, Ellen Tauscher, Jeremy Bird, Mitch Stewart, Omarosa Manigault and George Soros. Senior advisors to the group included Craig T. Smith, Ickes, Tauscher, Granholm, Tracy Sefl, Shirley Franklin, Mark Alexander, and Michael Trujillo. The group operated the Hillary Bus tour in both 2014 and 2015, which started with efforts made during Clinton's book tour for her memoir, Hard Choices, and visited many locations. On April 12, 2015, Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy for president. In turn, Ready for Hillary began winding down operations and, in compliance with federal election law, altered its name from 'Ready for Hillary' to simply 'Ready PAC'. The PAC closed entirely shortly thereafter, and some staff members were later hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign. (en)
