Irish American Democrats (IAD) is a Political Action Committee providing support to Democratic candidates who promote peace, justice and prosperity in Ireland.

IAD was founded in 1996 in response to President Clinton's peace initiatives in Ireland. Through the use of newsletters, campaign materials, advertisements, educational materials, voter guides, endorsements, websites and events, IAD aims to raise the public interest in Irish political and economic issues.

IAD works with the White House, current members of the Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, in support of continued U.S. involvement in the Irish peace process. IAD also supports challengers who display an active interest in Irish issues.
