2010 Political Contributions July 1 – December 31 Amgen is committed to serving patients by transforming the promise of science and biotechnology into therapies that have the power to restore health or even save lives. Amgen recognizes the importance of sound public policy in achieving this goal, and, accordingly, participates in the political process and supports those candidates, committees, and other organizations who work to advance healthcare innovation and improve patient access. Amgen participates in the political process by making direct corporate contributions as well as contributions through its employee-funded Political Action Committee (“Amgen PAC”). In some states, corporate contributions to candidates for state or local elected offices are permissible, while in other states and at the federal level, political contributions are only made through the Amgen PAC. Under certain circumstances, Amgen may lawfully contribute to other political committees and political organizations, including political party committees, industry PACs, leadership PACs, and Section 527 organizations. Amgen also participates in ballot initiatives and referenda at the state and local level. Amgen is committed to complying with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations that govern all such contributions. The list below contains information about political contributions for the second half of 2010 by Amgen Inc. and the Amgen PAC. It includes contributions to candidate committees, political party committees, industry PACs, leadership PACs, Section 527 organizations, and state and local ballot initiatives and referenda. These contributions are categorized by state, political party (if applicable), political office (where applicable), recipient, contributor (Amgen Inc. or Amgen PAC) and amount.

    Response to Insurrection on January 6Th 2021

    Resolution # 70-19 The Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) The Pennsylvania State University of the 70th Assembly February 3, 2021 Be it decided by the Assembly of Elected Delegates, Response to Insurrection on January 6th, 2021 (Decided: [ Y / N / A ]) 1 Nature of the Situation: 2 In considering our responsibility to grapple with the meaning and effects of the January 3 6th insurrection, it is also important to keep in mind Penn State’s identity as Pennsylvania’s 4 land-grant institution—particularly since debate over the certification of the state’s 5 electors became a key tension leading up to and following the Capitol invasion. Eight 6 Pennsylvania Representatives—including a number who are Penn State alumni (Perry, 7 Joyce, Reschenthaler, and Thompson) and/or represent districts home to PSU 8 campuses—ultimately voted to reject the certification of the presidential electors1, fanning 9 the flames of the insurrection and seeking to disrupt a peaceful transition of power. The 10 State Representative for the 33rd district (home to Penn State’s York campus), Doug 11 Mastriano, helped to organize and partially fund a bus trip for constituents to join the “Stop 12 the Steal” rally2, some of whom have been identified as having breached the Capitol. In 13 recent weeks, news has also emerged that Penn State alum Scott Perry (US House 14 Representative for the 10th District, home to the Penn State Dickinson Law campus) 1 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/07/us/politics/republicans-against-certification.html 2 https://www.inquirer.com/politics/pennsylvania/spl/doug-mastriano-trump-capitol-attack-resignation- investigation-20210108.html 1 played a significant role in persuading ex-President Trump to contest the results of the 2 2020 election and may be facing calls for removal3.

    July 9, 2019 The Honorable Anthony Portantino Chair, Senate Appropriations Committee State Capitol, Room 3086 Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Assembly Bill 1080 (Gonzalez) – SUPPORT IF AMENDED As Amended July 5, 2019 Dear Senator Portantino: On behalf of the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC), I am writing with respect to Assembly Bill 1080, authored by Assembly Member Lorena Gonzalez, which, among other things, requires manufacturers to source, reduce, and recycle single- use packaging and products sold in California. While we are strongly supportive of what the bill seeks to accomplish, we believe some amendments are vital to avoid costly burdens on local governments. RCRC is an association of thirty-six rural California counties, and the RCRC Board of Directors is comprised of elected supervisors from each of those member counties. California is in the process of implementing SB 1383 (Lara, Chapter 395, 2016), which establishes ambitious goals to reduce landfill disposal of organic waste 75 percent below 2014 levels by 2025. CalRecycle’s far-reaching SB 1383 regulation could cost as much as $20 billion to implement and poses many challenges for local governments. Considering the massive costs local governments will soon face with SB 1383 implementation, it is vital to avoid imposing additional costly requirements on local jurisdictions. Previous versions of AB 1080 appropriately placed compliance obligations on manufacturers and retailers who produce and sell single-use products; however, the June 20 amendments significantly
