2015-2016 Election Report Political Action Committee Political Action Committee A Message from the AGC PAC Co-Chairs GC PAC is the nonpartisan political action committee (PAC) sponsored by AGC of America. It is registered with the U.S. Federal Election ACommission and allows eligible employees of AGC member companies to pool personal, voluntary financial contributions. The contributions are used to support candidates running for elective office who, regardless of party affiliation, understand the construction industry and the specific needs, interests and concerns of AGC member companies and their employees. Chuck Greco During the 2015-2016 election cycle, AGC PAC raised just shy of Linbeck Group LLC $1 million and contributed $943,750 to 212 federal candidates and AGC PAC Co-Chair committees. Of the 202 AGC PAC-backed candidates running on Election Day, 95 percent of them were successfully elected to the 115th Congress! AGC PAC’s ongoing tenacity and resolve in the political arena have made it one of the most recognized and well-respected PACs on Capitol Hill, ranking among the top 100 trade association PACs in the nation — earning it the “Heavy Hitter” status from the Center for Responsive Politics.

With limited resources, AGC PAC must prioritize its disbursements to those entities most supportive of AGC’s legislative priorities. The AGC PAC Board of Trustees, a group which includes 18 individuals from AGC member companies, a chapter executive representative, and the PAC Treasurer, reviews such requests and approves the contributions for disbursement. Trustees use the following evaluation criteria: • Local chapter and member input • Understanding or connection to the construction industry • AGC current and lifetime congressional voting record • Candidate questionnaire and interview (if a first-time candidate) • Legislative strategy • Variable election factors such as demographic profile of the district, fundraising ability, polling data and previous election results • Chapter and individual member support for AGC PAC AGC PAC may contribute up to $5,000 per election (primary, general, or run-off) to a federal candidate’s campaign. It may also contribute up to $5,000 per year to a federal PAC, or up to $15,000 to a national party committee. Contribution amounts vary depending upon the aforementioned criteria. 2 AGC PAC Financial Summary Primary 2015General 2016 Total District EndorsedCandidate Candidate Party Incumb.
