  • December 8, 2020 Governor Tim Walz Speaker Melissa Hortman Majority
    December 8, 2020 Governor Tim Walz Minority Leader Kurt Daudt Speaker Melissa Hortman Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka Majority Leader Ryan Winkler Senator Minority Leader Susan Kent Dear State Leaders: We are jointly and urgently calling upon you to act quickly toward an agreement that will provide immediate economic relief for our small businesses and communities. Rochester and Olmsted County’s business and service sector has been hit due to the pandemic, in a similar fashion to other communities around the state. The entities signed below have come together to work jointly since the pandemic in a local, coordinated effort titled “Rochester Ready” to ensure a safe and resilient recovery for the area. This unique public- private partnership group has assisted and communicate with local businesses and the community. We encourage you to also come together as state leaders during this extremely challenging and dynamic time to assist communities and businesses in need. Local units of governments in our area have thoughtfully and quickly distributed funding received through the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF), but much of the programs and assistance provided through that funding will expire at the end of the year. It is important that additional assistance continue into 2021, as the impacts of the pandemic will continue as well. Immediate, additional assistance for small businesses that have been impacted by the pandemic and an extension of the unemployment insurance program is critically needed in our community and for the state’s economy. Sincerely, -City of Rochester -Mayo Clinic -Destination Medical Center (DMC) -Olmsted County -Diversity Council -Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce -The Greater Rochester Convention and Visitors Bureau -Rochester Area Economic Development, Inc.

  • Indiana State Senate
    A report to supporters and members of Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and allied organizations. This report will be updated as additional election results are received in the hours and days following. Another Election for the Record Books in Indiana Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the non-partisan political action program of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, scored a very successful general election. 48 of 49 IBRG- endorsed candidates facing opposition were victorious, including Republicans and Democrats. Forty-three (43) additional endorsed candidates did not face general election challenges. Twelve (12) new legislators won with IBRG-endorsements. IBRG was significantly-engaged in support of six (6) top-target challenger and open-seat races, as well as successfully defending twelve (12) pro-economy incumbents seriously challenged with defeat. In one of the most dramatic turn of events in years, Republicans won significant battles for state legislative seats across the state to expand their “quorum-proof majorities.” These victories were particularly surprising to those working for months closely in campaigns and candidates, as Indiana’s public opinion environment on issues and views of incumbents was - right up until Election Day - about as bad an environment for Republicans and incumbents as seen in years. This marks the third election cycle in a row that Republicans have expanded their margins in the Indiana House and Senate. The Republicans won a net two (2) seat gain in the Indiana House of Representatives to achieve a 71-29 margin. Four (4) incumbent legislators lost reelection bids in the House (one Republican and three Democrats).

  • The Kroger Co. 2017 Political Contribution Annual Report

We are members of various trade associations that provide government relations services in Washington and in the States. We regularly educate legislators and regulators about issues that affect our company, industry, associates, and customers. In addition, we inform our management associates of important issues and occasionally encourage them to contact legislators. On the following pages, you will find a report detailing all of our political giving from the calendar year of 2017. During that period, we gave a total of $340,100 to candidates and issue campaigns. A breakdown of the information by source of funds, political party, and state follows: Total Giving $340,100 Political Giving by Source of Funds KroPAC (Federal PAC): 51% Corporate: 49% Political Giving by Party Democratic Party: 25% Republican Party: 57% Independent, Non-Partisan, or No Party: 18% Political Giving by State Oregon: $55,500.00 Ohio: $43,900.00 Washington: $42,000.00 Indiana: $42,500.00 Kansas: $32,500.00 Illinois: $20,000.00 Michigan: $8,000.00 Texas: $7,000.00 California: $6,000.00 Georgia: $5,500.00 All other states gave less than $5,000 Trade Associations: Kroger is also a participant in a number of federal trade associations that help represent our perspectives in Washington, D.C.

  • Hawaiʻi Climate Change Advocacy Advisor Developed by Hiʻilei K
    HAWAIʻI CLIMATE CHANGE ADVOCACY ADVISOR DEVELOPED BY HIʻILEI K. CASCO Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Management University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa TABLE OF CONTENTS 01 02 03 PURPOSE CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE IN THE LEG OVERVIEW Why this resource A review of climate change An assessment and analysis was created for you indicators, impacts, and case of climate-related studies on advocacy initiatives initiatives in the 2019 in the Pacific region Hawaiʻi State Legislature 04 05 06 KEY INSIGHTS + RESOURCES + TOOLS APPENDICES STRATEGIES Sharing advocacy insights Materials to help you get Supporting data and and strategies from started: step-by-step information community members and guides, worksheets, and seasoned environmental resources advocates 2 01 PURPOSE Why this resource was created for you 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WELINA MAI Welcome to the Hawaiʻi Climate Change Advocacy Advisor! Despite the importance of environmental advocacy in ensuring effective decision-making processes and outcomes, smaller community-based resource stewardship organizations in Hawaiʻi often lack the skills, tools, guidance, and capacity to organize their own advocacy plans and strategies. This lack of support has made it difficult to protect and fulfill their environmental interests through an inability to participate in policy and decision-making processes at local and state levels. There is a need to support these groups to develop their own advocacy frameworks and plans, which will ensure their ability to express their views on climate change and natural resource issues that impact them. This resource seeks to support small community-based natural resource organizations in Hawaiʻi to more effectively participate in climate change and natural resource policy and decision-making processes at local and state levels.

  • 2011 Political Contributions
    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?
