The Kroger Co. 2018 Political Contribution Annual Report Introduction: Political giving is one small way in which The Kroger Co. engages in the political process. 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 2018. During that period, we gave a total of $2,256,117 to candidates and issue campaigns. A breakdown of the information by source of funds, political party, and state follows: Total Giving $2,256,117 Political Giving by Source of Funds KroPAC (Federal PAC): 8.6% Corporate: 91.4% Political Giving by Party Democratic Party: 6% Republican Party: 11% Independent, Non-Partisan, or No Party: 83% Political Giving by State Oregon: $1,913,167 Washington: $53,500 Indiana: $50,500 Ohio: $38,750 California: $27,000 Tennessee: $24,000 Georgia: $14,500 Colorado: $10,000 North Carolina: $8,500 Illinois: $8,000 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.

    Legislative Update

    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Prepared for OAFP February 14, 2021 HB 3108 – Increased Access to Primary Care Rep. Rachel Prusak (D-Tualatin) led a work group during the interim to address access barriers like income, insurance, geographical distance and race and ethnicity. “Research consistently demonstrates that access to primary care reduces disparities in health outcomes, improves health system efficiency, and reduces health system costs.” Oregon also ranks as the second worst state in the nation for access to behavioral health services, says Prusak, and she is confident that some of the policies in HB 3108 can help change that. The bill requires insurers to cover three primary care visits with no cost-sharing to the patient and to assign members to a primary care provider if they do not choose for themselves. The bill also requires insurers to cover physical and behavioral health visits conducted on the same day, and to charge just one copay the visits. Insurers testified in support of the bill, championing in particular the assignment component of the bill, “it is essential for us to move forward with value-based payment. In order for providers to take on risk, and in order for payers to assign that risk and effectively measure quality and patient outcomes, we need to tie people to a primary care provider” Providence’s Jessica Adamson told the Committee. Providence is also supportive of allowing patients to change their provider at any time. Rep Christine Drazan (R-Canby) asked Adamson whether the mandates in the bill would impact cost negatively. Adamson responded that while there are some specialty services that occur in the primary care setting, there aren’t a lot of “upper end” psychiatric services provided there.

    Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515

    Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 June 14, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-232, The Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Madam Speaker: We write today to urge you to fully reopen the House of Representatives. The positive impact of increasing vaccination rates and decreasing cases of COVID-19 are clear to see. Businesses are open, sporting venues and cultural institutions have welcomed back fans and visitors, and restrictions have been lifted. On June 11, Washington D.C. fully reopened and lifted the restrictions put in place to stop the spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately, the United States Capitol and the People’s House have failed to do the same. The Capitol remains closed to the American people and the House continues to maintain policies that run contrary to science of COVID-19. It is time for you to reopen the House and get back to serving the American people. Weekly case numbers in the United States have reached their lowest point since March of 2020 at the very start of the pandemic, and every day hundreds of thousands of Americans are being vaccinated. This also holds true for the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and the Capitol Hill community specifically. Over the last two weeks cases are down 36% in Washington D.C. and over 40% in both Virginia and Maryland. On Capitol Hill, no congressional staffer is known to have tested positive in weeks and no Member of Congress is known to have tested positive in months. This can no doubt be attributed to the institution’s steady access to vaccinations.

    Testimony from the Oregon Chapter of the American Planning Association in Support of House Bill 2560

    March 4, 2021 House Democratic Leader Barbara Smith Warner, Chair House Republican Leader Christine Drazan, Vice-Chair Representative Paul Holvey, Vice-Chair House Committee On Rules Salem, OR 97301 RE: Testimony from the Oregon Chapter of the American Planning Association in Support of House Bill 2560 Dear Chair Smith Warner, Vice Chair Drazan, Vice Chair Holvey, and Members of the Committee: The Oregon Chapter of the American Planning Association (OAPA) supports the passage of HB 2560. Passage of this bill will increase equitable access to public meetings and hearings by requiring all such meetings to be accessible remotely (when reasonably feasible) and allowing the general public to remotely provide oral and written testimony when such testimony is allowed. OAPA is an independent, statewide, not-for-profit educational organization of more than 800 planners from across the state who work for cities, counties, special districts, state agencies, tribes, community-based organizations, universities, and private firms. We provide leadership in the development of vital communities by advocating excellence in community planning, promoting education and resident empowerment, and providing the tools and support necessary to meet the challenges of growth and change. OAPA supports sustainable communities and works to enhance the quality of life for current and future generations by helping to create and stabilize places that are equitable, healthy, and resilient and provide ongoing economic, environmental, and social benefits. HB 2560 supports two of OAPA’s 2021 Legislative Priorities: “Advocate For Oregon’s Planning Program” and “Advance Racial Equity.” The bill will advance inclusion and expand opportunity for participation at all phases of the planning process as envisioned by Statewide Planning Goal 1, which calls for “the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process.” Increasing access and opportunities for participation can help elevate the voices of traditionally underrepresented communities.
