The Kroger Co. 2020 Political Contribution Annual Report The Kroger Co. 2020 Political Contribution Annual Report Introduction: Political giving is one small way in which The Kroger Co. engages in the political process. We are members of various trade associations that provide government relations services in Washington, DC and in the States in which we operate. We regularly educate legislators and regulators about issues that affect our company, industry, associates, and customers. In addition, we inform our management associates of important issues and occasionally encourage them to contact legislators. On the following pages, you will find a report detailing all of our political giving from the calendar year of 2020. During that period, we gave a total of $744,344.00 to candidates, political organizations, and issue campaigns. A breakdown of the information by source of funds, political party, and state follows: Total Giving $744,344.00 Political Giving by Source of Funds KroPAC (Federal PAC): 12.4% Corporate: 87.6% Political Giving by Party Democratic Party: 28.6% Republican Party: 21.7% Independent, Non-Partisan, or No Party: 49.6% Political Giving to State/Local Candidates by State Oregon: $129,000.00 Washington: $60,750.00 Indiana: $12,750.00 Tennessee: $75,308.00 Trade Associations: Kroger also participates in several federal trade associations that help represent our perspectives to legislators and regulators in Washington, D.C.

  • Washington State Senate
    Washington State Senate Chair Fitzgibbon, Thank you for your dedication to pursuing the Low Carbon Fuel Standard for our state. While we sometimes disagree on the methods, we all share a commitment to ensuring our state does its part in reducing our carbon footprint to address climate change. As you know, HB 1091 passed the Senate Thursday night on a vote of 27-20. Our five votes represent more than the margin of passage and it is crucial that you know the changes made to the legislation in the Senate were integral to our support for the bill. We worked closely with our partners in the Building Trades to make sure all voices were heard. As we likely head to conference, these are the Senate changes to the legislation that must stay in the final bill to earn our support: • Ensure that this policy does not dramatically increase the cost of fuel, which is a burden that will likely fall on consumers and disproportionately impact those who can least afford it. • Ensure that Washington State benefits from the jobs created by the additional money that will be spent by consumers on low carbon fuels. This includes new biofuel facilities in Washington and an assurance that some of the crops used to make those fuels come from our state. • The bill must maintain a link to the transportation package. • Maintain the legislative review beyond the 10% threshold so that elected officials can weigh the efficiency of the policy after implementation. Addressing our climate impacts doesn’t have to be just a bitter pill.

    August 24, 2020 Larry Carpenter, Chairman Kelly Susewind, Director Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission 600 Capitol Way N 600 Capitol Way N Olympia, WA 98501 Olympia, WA 98501 [email protected] [email protected] RE: Columbia River Basin Salmon Management Policy (C-3620) Chairman Carpenter and Director Susewind: We have serious concerns with proposed changes to the Commission’s Columbia River Basin Salmon Management Policy (C-3620) that would undo efforts to enhance the conservation and selectivity of Columbia River salmon fisheries under the Oregon-Washington Columbia River reforms. The Commission’s recent actions to undermine the bi-state reforms by returning non-tribal gillnets to the mainstem lower Columbia River have been immensely unpopular with our constituents and comes as several salmon and steelhead populations are in steep decline. The actions have also cost the Department critical support from recreational anglers – a stakeholder group that is key to the long-term financial solvency of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Columbia River basin fisheries require careful, proactive management with 13 species of salmon and steelhead listed under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) along with federal requirements dictating the harvest or removal of excess hatchery fish as a condition of continued hatchery operations. These challenges have driven the transition to fishing methods more capable of selectively harvesting hatchery-reared salmon while also providing increased escapement of ESA-listed and weak wild stocks. By design, gillnets are ill-suited for meeting these challenges in the mainstem lower Columbia River’s mixed-stock fisheries where wild and ESA-listed salmon and steelhead are intermingled with fin-clipped hatchery-reared salmon.

  • Legislative Update
    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Prepared for OAFP February 14, 2021 HB 3108 – Increased Access to Primary Care Rep. Rachel Prusak (D-Tualatin) led a work group during the interim to address access barriers like income, insurance, geographical distance and race and ethnicity. “Research consistently demonstrates that access to primary care reduces disparities in health outcomes, improves health system efficiency, and reduces health system costs.” Oregon also ranks as the second worst state in the nation for access to behavioral health services, says Prusak, and she is confident that some of the policies in HB 3108 can help change that. The bill requires insurers to cover three primary care visits with no cost-sharing to the patient and to assign members to a primary care provider if they do not choose for themselves. The bill also requires insurers to cover physical and behavioral health visits conducted on the same day, and to charge just one copay the visits. Insurers testified in support of the bill, championing in particular the assignment component of the bill, “it is essential for us to move forward with value-based payment. In order for providers to take on risk, and in order for payers to assign that risk and effectively measure quality and patient outcomes, we need to tie people to a primary care provider” Providence’s Jessica Adamson told the Committee. Providence is also supportive of allowing patients to change their provider at any time. Rep Christine Drazan (R-Canby) asked Adamson whether the mandates in the bill would impact cost negatively. Adamson responded that while there are some specialty services that occur in the primary care setting, there aren’t a lot of “upper end” psychiatric services provided there.

As you consider any additional COVID-19 economic relief packages, we, the undersigned elected leaders of Washington State, write to respectfully request significant investments in and attention to the challenges facing child care. Here in Washington State and across the country, the child care industry is providing critical services enabling medical professionals, first responders, and other essential workers to provide for communities in our time of greatest need. And yet, the infrastructure of this critical system is crumbling in front of us and threatening our ability to recover from COVID-19 now and in the future. According to Child Care Aware of Washington, our state has already lost 143 child care centers, 105 family child care homes, and 19 school-age-only child care programs to COVID-19 related closures -- totaling a loss of 12,000 child care slots.

We also want to ensure that you know the story of LillyPAC. Transparency is an important element of our integrity promise, and so we are pleased to share this 2016 LillyPAC annual report with you. LillyPAC raised $949,267 through the generous, voluntary contributions of 3,682 Lilly employees in 2016. Those contributions allowed LillyPAC to invest in 187 federal candidates and more than 500 state candidates who understand the importance of what we do. You will find a full financial accounting in the following pages, as well as complete lists of candidates and political committees that received LillyPAC support and the permissible corporate contributions made by the company. In addition, this report is a helpful guide to understanding how our PAC operates and makes its contribution decisions. On behalf of the LillyPAC Governing Board, I want to thank everyone who has made the decision to support this vital program.
