    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.

Box 48 City/Town Fairfax State/Province VA ZIP/Postal Code 22038 Email Address [email protected] Phone Number 7036720791 Page 3: Question 1: Early Learning Q2 Virginia is known to have a ‘non-system’ of early learning where programs operate under different departments and sets of rules. What would you do to better link programs and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Virginia’s early learning programs? Virginia’s students deserve access to quality early childhood education regardless of their socioeconomic status or where they live. As Lieutenant Governor, I will work to implement universal Pre-K education for our students and increase funding for the Virginia Preschool Initiative. I will also advocate the coordination of rule-making and central operations for early childhood education. Page 4: Question 2: Foster Care Q3 Most children entering foster care are returned to their families. In most cases, these families do not receive additional support and services from the child welfare system, which can lead to poor health and education outcomes for children. How do you think the Commonwealth can better support children once they are returned to their families? It is our responsibility to ensure that children in our communities are safe, including once they return home from foster care. As a Commonwealth, we can provide preventative programs to support families as a whole to help them gain parenting and communication skills, learn appropriate developmental stages, and provide wrap-around assistance to address the underlying issues that lead a family to come into contact with Child Protective Services.

WINTER 2019 ANNUAL VDA DAY ON THE HILL Twelve members of the Tidewater Dental Association attended the Annual VDA Day on the Hill on January 18, 2019. The key note address featured Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, an attorney, a graduate of Duke and Columbia Universities, and a board member of Duke University. He spoke to the Virginia Dental Association members on several dental issues, and enthusiastically applauded the VDA’s Missions of Mercy, Donated Dental Services, and Give Kids a Smile programs. His wife is a practicing dentist in Fairfax, and he spoke very knowledgably about the finan- cial and business challenges dentists face today. Later on that same day, he stepped on the dais of the Virginia Senate to protest a commemoration of Robert E. Lee. He described the freedom document of his great-great- Drs Laxa, Clark, Morgan, Meares, Zapatero, Leidy, Rogge great grandfather, which he received only last year.

  • Quarterly Cannabis Report
    News April 22, 2021 Quarterly Cannabis Report The 117th Congress is shaping up to be the year for cannabis reform. As of April 2021, 47 states, four U.S. territories and the District of Columbia have legalized medical cannabis, recreational cannabis or both. Many of these efforts can be contributed to Steve Fox, a true pioneer of the legalization movement. Fox, managing partner of VS Strategies, and godfather of the industry, paved the path for nationwide legalization efforts and was instrumental in cannabis reform throughout the country for decades. He was one of the first to politically advocate on behalf of medical and recreational cannabis legalization, advance decriminalization measures and promote reform and social justice. As an educator and leader, Fox will be remembered for his wisdom, knowledge and kindness, and his voice, perspective and presence will be dearly missed. VS Strategies welcome the celebration of Fox’s life through the sharing of thoughts and memories, and asks for respect and privacy for his family, friends and co-workers who are still reeling from this loss. VS Strategies also started a GoFundMe page to support Fox’s wife and daughters as they navigate their way through this extremely difficult time— https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-the-family-of-steve-fox. FEDERAL CANNABIS PROPOSALS The SAFE Banking Act: On March 18, Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO) reintroduced the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act. H.R.1996 that creates a safe harbor for financial institutions to provide traditional banking services to cannabis and cannabis-related businesses in states that have legalized the drug and allows cannabis and cannabis- related businesses to access traditional banking services like lines of credit, loans and wealth management.

  • Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax Joins Morrison & Foerster
    Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax Joins Morrison & Foerster Justin Fairfax has joined Morrison & Foerster in the Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. offices, as a partner in its Commercial Litigation, Trials, and Investigations + White Collar Defense groups. Fairfax will separately perform his duties as Virginia lieutenant governor, which is a part-time role under Virginia law. Fairfax is a former federal prosecutor who served as an Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) in the Eastern District of Virginia and has prior experience at national and international law firms. The firm said in a release that Fairfax gained national prominence after he was elected lieutenant governor of Virginia in November 2017, making him only the second African- American to be elected to statewide office in Virginia. In his role as lieutenant governor, he presides over the Senate of Virginia and serves on various boards and commissions. Fairfax is one of the youngest individuals in the country to hold the position of lieutenant governor. “Justin is a rising star whose addition highlights the firm’s strategy of hiring experienced lawyers who understand government and the private sector,” said Brad Wine, co-chair of the firm’s Litigation Department. “His impressive background strengthens our national and regional commercial litigation, enforcement, and investigations capabilities. Justin will help us continue to meet our clients’ needs as we further expand our presence in Washington D.C. and Northern Virginia.” While serving as an AUSA, Fairfax was part of the office’s major crimes and narcotics unit, where he prosecuted a wide range of federal felony offenses, including embezzlement, fraud, and human trafficking.
