Report of Political Financial Support 2018 Lillypac Mission Advancing our Mission to Make Life Better REPORT OF POLITICAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT 2018 LILLYPAC MISSION LillyPAC brings us together with a united voice to financially support candidates of both parties who will champion policies that advance a positive environment for pharmaceutical innovation. LillyPAC received the corporate Trailblazer “Best in Class” Award from the National Association of Business Political Action Committees (NABPAC) in 2018. NABPAC is the leading association of business political action committees from all across the United States. While we are grateful for the recognition, it is imperative that we continue to place Lilly in strongest position to weather the pressures of the U.S. policy environment. 1 | 2018 LillyPAC MESSAGE FROM THE PAC CHAIR I’m pleased to present the LillyPAC 2018 Annual Report, which details the PAC’s role in protecting and strengthening the U.S. policy environment to support pharmaceutical innovation. As you’ll read, LillyPAC makes our democracy more inclusive by providing the opportunity for Lilly employees to effectively participate in the political process to advocate on behalf of the company and patients. As LillyPAC’s chairman, one of my fundamental beliefs is that democracy is not a spectator sport. Meaning, change doesn’t happen without direct involvement and input from our employee PAC members. I am thankful for the LillyPAC members who contributed their time, talent and resources to support our company’s policy priorities through political involvement in 2018. I don’t take lightly what those contributions are meant to do, which is to assure Lilly is in strongest position possible to weather the pressures of the U.S. policy environment. To that end, LillyPAC had a healthy record of successes in 2018, including: • We supported 116 federal candidates for elected office; • We supported 513 local and state candidates for elected office; • We had a record-breaking LillyPAC membership campaign, where we welcomed 282 new members in 2018 and 191 current members increased their annual contributions helping the PAC raise $210,000 in new annualized PAC receipts; and • We launched the brand new Discovery Club and PAC Charity Match program last year and won a prestigious industry award. You will find more information about all of this contained in the following pages along with a full report of LillyPAC’s finances, the candidates and committees it supported in 2018, and the people who are helping the program grow. Over the course of the next 3 to 5 years, Lilly has a tremendous opportunity to deliver more innovative medicines to patients than any time in our company’s history. A number of forces will impact our ability to achieve this innovation, not the least of which will be the impact of U.S. policy decisions. With this in mind, continuing to grow and strengthen LillyPAC is a necessary priority. We look forward to building an even stronger Team LillyPAC in the year ahead. Michael J.

  • All Eyes Were on the Senate Floor This Week As Senator Mike Cierpiot (R-Lee’S Summit) Rose to Rebuke the Senate’S Conservative Caucus
    All eyes were on the Senate floor this week as Senator Mike Cierpiot (R-Lee’s Summit) rose to rebuke the Senate’s Conservative Caucus. Senator Cierpiot is renowned for a quiet, steady demeanor so his prepared commentary was a surprise to nearly everyone. Several of the conservative caucus members ruffled at Senator Cierpiot’s publicly shared viewpoint and admonished him for taking his grievances to the Senate floor as opposed to handling them privately. The question that remains is whether this interfamily fight will have lasting consequences. Border war The House Economic Development Committee met Monday evening to consider passage of SB 182, sponsored by Senator Mike Cierpiot (R-Lee’s Summit). The bill modifies provisions relating to the issuance of certain incentives to businesses relocating from certain counties in Kansas and Missouri. The proposal is in response to what is commonly referred to as the “border war” and will help curb lease jumping and abuse of economic development tools within an eight-county region surrounding Kansas City. During committee discussion, substitute language was adopted to remove Kansas’ Douglas County. Once modified, the committee passed the bill by a 10-0 vote. Transportation bonding The Senate dedicated floor time Monday afternoon to revisit SCR 14, sponsored by Senator Dave Schatz (R-Sullivan). The bonding resolution funds construction and repair of 215 bridges within the state highway system, not to exceed $301,000,000. Bond duration is limited to seven years, which sums to an annual payment of $46,000,000. The deal is contingent upon receiving a grant from the federal government for road and bridge purposes.

  • 2020 Tennessee General Election Results
    2020 Tennessee General Election Results President: As the nation awaits to see who the next President will be Tennessee was quickly called for President Trump Tuesday evening. Though the President underperformed in Tennessee compared to his numbers in 2016, he still decidedly carried the State with 61% of the vote. Joe Biden carried only three counties in Tennessee: Davidson, Shelby and Haywood. U.S. Senate: Just as Tennessee voting Red for President Trump was no surprise; it was no surprise that Republican Bill Hagerty won big against Democrat Marquita Bradshaw. Bill Hagerty will replace retiring Senator Lamar Alexander. Bill Hagerty is a lifelong Tennessean who has filled various roles in the private sector with a great deal of success and has served as Tennessee Economic and Community Development Commission under Governor Haslam and U.S. Ambassador to Japan under President Trump. Hagerty received the endorsement of President Trump and defeated Dr. Manny Sethi in the primary. U.S. House: All eight of Tennessee’s incumbents were re-elected with little opposition. Tennessee will have a new face in Congress in Diana Harshbarger, who won the Republican Primary for Congressional District 1 to fill the seat left open by retiring Congressman Phil Roe. Diana is a pharmacist from Kingsport. State Senate: Senate District 20: Senator Steve Dickerson, a Republican from Nashville was defeated by Democrat Heidi Campbell, mayor of Oak Hill. Experts knew this race would be close as the district is a democrat district by close to 9 points. Though Senator Dickerson was a left leaning Republican, his voting record was not enough to save him from the anti-Trump voter turnout seen in Davidson County.

  • Election Night Briefing Book
    WUOT ELECTION 2016 BRIEFING BOOK TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2016 WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY? A general election for state legislative races, Congressional races and the presidential race. The governor’s office is not up for election this year, nor are Tennessee’s two U.S. Senate seats. EAST TN CONGRESSIONAL RACES • Stuart Starr (D) will challenge Rep. John Duncan (R) for U.S. House Dist. 2. It is very likely Duncan will hold on to the seat. See more on the Congressional races later in this guide. EAST TN GENERAL ASSEMBLY RACES • Sen. Becky Duncan Massey (R) is unopposed for her state Senate District 6 seat. • Gloria Johnson (D) will challenge incumbent Eddie Smith (R) for State Rep. District 13 in the general election. Johnson is Smith’s predecessor, having held the seat from 2012 to 2014. Johnson lost by about 200 votes in ’14, so this will be a very interesting race to watch. • Scott Hacker (D) will challenge incumbent Jason Zachary (R) for State Rep. District 14 in the general election. • Pete Drew (I) will challenge Democrat Rick Staples for State Rep. District 15 in the general election. Incumbent Joe Armstrong (D) resigned from the seat in August, after being convicted on federal tax evasion charges. Staples was selected to run in Armstrong’s stead. Rhonda Gallman is running a write-in campaign for the seat. She identifies as a Democrat. • Bill Dunn (R) is unopposed for State Rep. District 16. • Harry Brooks (R) is unopposed for State Rep.
