  • 2018-Mid-Year-Political-Contributions
    1 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2018 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies -- from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more -- that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon and its affiliates during the first half of 2018. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Executive Vice President, Public Policy and General Counsel 2 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2018 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Democratic Process What are the Verizon Political Action Committees? regulations govern many aspects of the contributions process including the setting of monetary contribution limitations and The Verizon Political Action Committees (PACs) exist to help the establishment of periodic reporting requirements.

Continuing in that vein, on Monday and Tuesday, March 16 – 17, 2015, a small delegation of the FASSW Board joined with CEES (Coalition for the Education of Exceptional Students) in Tallahassee to meet with legislators during this important law making session. The FASSW Legislative Priorities 2015 document was shared with all the legislators and/or their Legislative Assistants. While we shared universally about the important roles that School Social Workers play in supporting student academic achievement, we focused primarily on two bills that will have a direct impact on our work with students. HB 7057 addresses, among other issues, Compulsory School Attendance law. The legislation is proposing an increase in the scope of nonattendance, from 5 unexcused absences within a calendar month or 10 unexcused absences within a 90 calendar day period to 5 unexcused absences within a calendar month or 10 absences (regardless of excused or not) within a 90 calendar day period.
