We have definitely made some friends in the capitol and we will continue to do so. Quarry tours are still being held and we are constantly educating politicians on our issues.

We had a great shooting event at Milford Hills that exceeded our expectations after date changes, rainy weather, competing with golf outings, and not knowing what to expect. We raised almost $7,000 for our Political Action Committee (PAC) and we were also honored to have Senator (R – Appleton) speak to us in person. These types of relationships will undoubtedly help us in the future and represent real progress in getting our concerns acknowledged.

For obvious reasons we are unable to host our annual convention but we are excited to host some interactive online sessions instead. Our hope is to keep membership engaged, give producers an opportunity to speak directly with DOT, DNR, and recognize our associate members who have shown their support in sponsoring this event.

21 Focusing Your Aggregate Producers of Wisconsin Political Action Political Resources Committee (APW PAC) What is the Aggregate Producers of Wisconsin PAC? (APW PAC)  A Political Action Committee (PAC) is a group formed (usually by an industry or an issue-oriented or- ganization) to raise and contribute money to the campaigns of candidates likely to advance the group's interests.

 APW PAC is dedicated to advancing the issues important to the aggregate industry in Wisconsin. The APW PAC will pool money from owners, employees and partners to make contributions to candidates for elected office.  Contributions to the PAC must come from individuals; corporate contributions to the PAC are prohib- ited. Protecting Your Industry  APW reviews all legislative initiatives affecting your right and ability to conduct your business in Wisconsin.  APW supplies you with all the information you need to understand how legislation will affect your business.  Contributions are made to state elected officials of any party that supports APW’s political initiatives.  The APW and APW PAC are not aligned with any political party. We support those who are helpful to our industry. Questions & Answers  Can I make a personal or business contribution? A: The APW PAC can only accept and disperse per- sonal contributions.  Why should I contribute to the APW PAC? A: Laws that negatively affect aggregate producers can be made at anytime. To protect your future, we need legislators in office who support our industry.  Why should my contributions go through the APW PAC? Why not give directly to the candidate? A: It is more effective to give through the APW PAC. Through the APW PAC the aggregate industry re- ceives credit for the contribution as well as the individual. A contribution through the APW PAC iden- tifies both you and APW to candidates.
