No. The Tenable PAC is independent and bipartisan. Candidates and incumbents supported by the PAC are not evaluated on their political party affiliation.

The setting of policies and processes regarding contributions to candidates or political committees is supervised and directed by the Board of Directors of the PAC. All proposed PAC contributions must be approved by a majority of the quorum of the PAC’s Board of Directors. The policy is to support candidates who share Tenable’s interests and understand the importance of what Tenable does.
