About the Publix Associates PAC
The
Publix Associates Political Action Committee (Publix PAC) allows our company to
better engage with elected officials who represent Publix and have a direct
impact on issues that can affect our company's mission to be the premier quality
food retailer in the world. Your voluntary contribution allows us to develop key
relationships with the individuals who create federal laws that could have an
impact on our business.
Why Publix has a PAC
Through the Publix PAC, you become part of something bigger — a
group working to help Publix by supporting candidates who align with our
business goals. Your participation supports our commitment to
the dignity, value and employment security of our associates and the
highest standards of stewardship for our stakeholders.
When Mr. George opened the first Publix, he made sure to create an
environment of mutual respect and engagement where everyone would have a
voice. Our company's success can be attributed to Mr. George's
commitment to taking care of not only our customers, but also the
greatest asset of all, you. The Publix PAC allows our Government
Relations team to share his philosophy and vision with those that
represent us in Congress and educate them how these regulations impact
our day to day business. Being a member of the Publix PAC is a tool for
associates to engage and aid in furthering our company's prosperity.
The way it works
A corporation can't contribute to federal candidates, but a PAC can.
Publix can't give money to federal political campaigns, but the
PAC — a voluntary organization open to receiving contributions from
salaried Publix associates — can. That's why your membership is
important.
Publix isn't the only corporation with a PAC
Large-scale retailers like Amazon, Kroger, Safeway and Walmart all have
PACs to ensure their voice is heard. Your contributions allow us
to participate in the political process, by supporting members of
Congress from both sides of the political aisle who share in our company
goals.
Doing good together has no party affiliation
The Publix Associates PAC isn't affiliated with a political party.
We support federal candidates whose platforms and records align with our
goals, regardless of their party affiliation. The Publix PAC allows PAC
members the opportunity to participate in the success of Publix and
amplify our voice in the halls of the nation's Capitol.
Helping Publix helps you!
As an owner, when Publix does well, you do well.
Regulations and laws
can affect Publix's profitability,
the value of your stock and dividends, and our ability to provide our
customers with the best shopping experience possible.
