2019 U.S. Political Contribution and Expenditure Policy and Statement 2019 U.S. Political Contribution and Expenditure Policy and Statement The Company’s policy is to participate in public policymaking by informing government officials about our positions on issues significant to the Company and our customers. These issues are discussed in the context of existing and proposed laws, legislation, regulations, and policy initiatives, and include, for example, commerce, intellectual property, trade, data privacy, transportation, and web services. Relatedly, the Company constructively and responsibly participates in the U.S. political process. The goal of the Company’s political contributions and expenditures is to promote the interests of the Company and our customers, and the Company makes such decisions in accordance with the processes described in this political contribution and expenditure policy and statement, without regard to the personal political preferences of the Company’s directors, officers, or employees. Click here for archives of previous statements. Approval Process The Company’s Vice President of Public Policy reviews and approves each political contribution and expenditure made with Company funds or resources to, or in support of, any political candidate, political campaign, political party, political committee, or public official in any country, or to any other organization for use in making political expenditures, to ensure that it is lawful and consistent with the Company’s business objectives and public policy priorities. The Company’s Senior Vice President for Global Corporate Affairs and the Senior Vice President and General Counsel review all political expenditures. In addition, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors annually reviews this political contribution and expenditure policy and statement and a report on all of the Company’s political contributions and expenditures, including any contributions made to trade associations or 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations. 2019 Political Expenditures In 2019, the Company complied with all applicable regulations requiring public disclosure of corporate political activity. In 2019, the Company did not make federal contributions to political parties or 527 organizations, or in support or opposition of any political campaigns, and did not make any federal or state independent expenditures. In 2019, the Company made non-federal contributions to political candidates, committees, 527 organizations, and ballot initiatives in the amounts disclosed in Annex A to this political contribution and expenditure policy and statement. In 2019, the Company spent approximately $16.14 million on federal lobbying activities, which are reported to the House and Senate: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/Public_Disclosure/LDA_reports.htm. In 2019, our spending related to the Company’s government relations efforts in all states (non‐federal) was approximately $5.54 million. This amount relates to efforts in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Specific amounts spent per state are generally disclosed on applicable state websites, such as those maintained by secretaries of state, state ethics and public disclosure commissions, state legislatures, and similar websites. The Company contributes to certain trade associations, coalitions, charities, and 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations, many of which engage in efforts to inform policymakers on issues important to their members. The total amount paid by the Company to U.S.-based trade associations, coalitions, charities, and social welfare organizations was approximately $11.13 million in 2019. All organizations receiving such payments of $10,000 or more made through the Company’s Public Policy Office in 2019 are disclosed 1 in Annex A to this political contribution and expenditure policy and statement. The Company may not agree with all the positions of each organization, its leaders, or its other supporters, but believes that the Company’s support will help advance policy objectives aligned with our interests. The Company has formed a political action committee (PAC) funded solely by voluntary contributions from some of the Company’s employees and shareholders (and their spouses). The PAC’s activities are subject to federal regulation, including detailed public disclosure requirements. The PAC files regular public reports with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), and political contributions to and by the PAC are required to be disclosed. These reports are publicly available on the FEC website at: https://www.fec.gov/data/reports/pac-party/. 2 ANNEX A Company contributions to state and local candidates, political parties, committees, political organizations, or ballot initiatives: Ballot Initiatives o Keep Washington Rolling - No on I-976 - $500,048.11 o Seattle’s Schools First Coalition - $25,000 o Washington Fairness Coalition - Approve I-1000 / R88 - $5,000 o Yes Seattle Libraries - $5,000 Political Organizations o Democratic Attorneys General Association - $50,000 o Democratic Governors Association - $85,000 o Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee - $50,000 o Republican Attorneys General Association - $50,000 o Republican Governors Association - $83.818.15 o Republican Legislative Campaign Committee - $50,000 Contributions – U.S. State and Local Candidates, and Committees o California .

    August 16, 2017 The Honorable Roger Wicker Chairman Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation and the Internet Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation The Honorable Brian Schatz Ranking Member Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation and the Internet Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation The Honorable Marsha Blackburn Chairman House of Representatives Subcommittee on Communications and Technology Committee on Energy and Commerce The Honorable Michael Doyle Ranking Member House of Representative Subcommittee on Communications and Technology Committee on Energy and Commerce RE: Amendment of Communications Decency Act Dear Chairman Wicker, Ranking Member Schatz, Chairman Blackburn, and Ranking Member Doyle: In 2013, Attorneys General from 49 states and territories wrote to Congress, informing it that some courts have interpreted the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (“CDA”) to render state and local authorities unable to take action against companies that actively profit from the promotion and facilitation of sex trafficking and crimes against children. Unfortunately, nearly four years later, this problem persists and these criminal profiteers often continue to operate with impunity. The recent news highlighting the potential complicity of online classified-ad company Backpage.com in soliciting sex traffickers’ ads for its website once again underscores the need 1850 M Street, NW to expand, not limit, the ability of all law-enforcement agencies to fight sex Twelfth Floor Washington, DC 20036 Phone: (202) 326-6000 http://www.naag.org/ trafficking.1 The undersigned Attorneys General once again respectfully request that the United States Congress amend the CDA to affirm that state, territorial, and local authorities retain their traditional jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute those who facilitate illicit acts and endanger our most vulnerable citizens.

  • Testimony from the Oregon Chapter of the American Planning Association in Support of House Bill 2560
    March 4, 2021 House Democratic Leader Barbara Smith Warner, Chair House Republican Leader Christine Drazan, Vice-Chair Representative Paul Holvey, Vice-Chair House Committee On Rules Salem, OR 97301 RE: Testimony from the Oregon Chapter of the American Planning Association in Support of House Bill 2560 Dear Chair Smith Warner, Vice Chair Drazan, Vice Chair Holvey, and Members of the Committee: The Oregon Chapter of the American Planning Association (OAPA) supports the passage of HB 2560. Passage of this bill will increase equitable access to public meetings and hearings by requiring all such meetings to be accessible remotely (when reasonably feasible) and allowing the general public to remotely provide oral and written testimony when such testimony is allowed. OAPA is an independent, statewide, not-for-profit educational organization of more than 800 planners from across the state who work for cities, counties, special districts, state agencies, tribes, community-based organizations, universities, and private firms. We provide leadership in the development of vital communities by advocating excellence in community planning, promoting education and resident empowerment, and providing the tools and support necessary to meet the challenges of growth and change. OAPA supports sustainable communities and works to enhance the quality of life for current and future generations by helping to create and stabilize places that are equitable, healthy, and resilient and provide ongoing economic, environmental, and social benefits. HB 2560 supports two of OAPA’s 2021 Legislative Priorities: “Advocate For Oregon’s Planning Program” and “Advance Racial Equity.” The bill will advance inclusion and expand opportunity for participation at all phases of the planning process as envisioned by Statewide Planning Goal 1, which calls for “the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process.” Increasing access and opportunities for participation can help elevate the voices of traditionally underrepresented communities.
