LillyPAC was established to work to ensure that this vision is also shared by lawmakers, who make policy decisions that impact our company and the patients we serve. In a new political environment where policies can change with a “tweet,” we must be even more vigilant about supporting those who believe in our story, and our PAC is an effective way to support those who share our views. 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.

  • 2020 Election Recap
    2020 Election Recap Below NACCHO summarizes election results and changes expected for 2021. Democrats will continue to lead the House of Representatives…but with a smaller majority. This means that many of the key committees for public health will continue to be chaired by the same members, with notable exceptions of the Appropriations Committee, where Chair Nita Lowey (D-NY) did not run for reelection; the Agriculture Committee, which has some jurisdiction around food safety and nutrition, whose Chair, Colin Peterson (D-MN) lost, as well as the Ranking Member for the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Greg Walden, (R-OR) who did not run for reelection. After the 117th Congress convenes in January, internal leadership elections will determine who heads these and other committees. The following new Representatives and Senators are confirmed as of January 7. House of Representatives Note: All House of Representative seats were up for re-election. We list only those where a new member will be coming to Congress below. AL-1: Republican Jerry Carl beat Democrat James Averhart (open seat) Carl has served a member of the Mobile County Commission since 2012.

  • Seeking Assistance from Elected Officials
    SEEKING ASSISTANCE FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS J. Brett Keeter District Director Office of U.S. Congressman Patrick McHenry WHY CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSMAN OR SENATOR? 1. To advocate or express an opinion 2. To seek assistance Advocacy Q: Whose opinions do elected officials care about? A: The people who can vote them in or out of office! Contrary to popular cynicism, elected officials will give far more weight to opinions expressed by their constituents over those from outside their districts. Advocacy Advocacy Tips: - “Kitchen table letter” vs. boilerplate - Don’t rely on your national or state association or lobbyist to represent you - Remember, your elected officials have many competing priorities – you’re not the only important thing - Never make an enemy. The legislator that can’t help you on one particular issue may be your biggest ally on something else. Assistance •History of casework • Growth of Congressional Staff • Increase in Federal red tape • Approximately 200 open cases at any time • 1,500 – 2,000 cases disposed of per Congressional cycle (two years) What kinds of cases do we assist with??
