  • Governor's Rural Affairs Council (Executive Order 11-04)
    Governor’s Rural Affairs Council (Executive Order 11-04) 2020 Annual Report Chaired by Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton Governor’s Rural Affairs Council Letter from Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton In my time as Lieutenant Governor, one of my greatest responsibilities and privileges has been championing the voices of Illinoisans. I have always believed the only path to enact real and sustainable change is one rooted in a pursuit of equity. Chairing the Governor’s Rural Affairs Council, and working on this report, was a charge I met with this in mind. But above all else, it was crucial that I took the time to listen and learn. Doing this gave me insight that I, growing up in the city of Chicago, may not have previously had. The well-being of each of our communities is tied to that of the others. Rural Illinois, in many ways, serves as the backbone for its suburban and urban counterparts. Agriculture and manufacturing jobs are at the root of the state’s economy, sustaining our growth and the livelihood of communities throughout Illinois. Illinoisans are also connected by the challenges they face, such as a need for better healthcare. The opioid crisis severely harms communities both rural and urban, with devastating impacts on families across the state. It is abundantly clear to me, now more than ever, that the concerns of rural Illinois are deeply entwined with the concerns of our state as a whole. What we must also remember is that the statistics and trends we have compiled in this report represent real people.

    2011 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS 2011 Lilly Political Contributions 2 Government actions such as price controls, pharmaceutical manufacturer rebates, the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), and access to Lilly medicines affect our ability to invest in innovation. Lilly has a comprehensive government relations operation to have a voice in the public policymaking process at both the state and federal levels. Lilly is committed to participating in the political process as a responsible corporate citizen to help inform the U.S. debate over health care and pharmaceutical innovation. As a company that operates in a highly competitive and regulated industry, Lilly must participate in the political process to fulfill its fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders, and its overall responsibilities to its customers and its employees. Corporate Political Contribution Elected officials, no matter what level, have an impact on public policy issues affecting Lilly. We are committed to backing candidates who support public policies that contribute to pharmaceutical innovation and healthy patients. A number of factors are considered when reviewing candidates for support. The following evaluation criteria are used to allocate political contributions: • Has the candidate historically voted or announced positions on issues of importance to Lilly, such as pharmaceutical innovation and health care? • Has the candidate demonstrated leadership on key committees of importance to our business? • Does the candidate demonstrate potential for legislative leadership?
