As a global agricultural leader, Archer Daniels Midland Company connects the harvest to the home and serves growing global demand for food and energy.
Our ability to fulfill this vital purpose is enhanced when government policies impacting our operations promote growth — growth that facilitates job creation as well as ongoing investment in our business, our employees and the communities where we live and work.
For this reason, ADM and ADMPAC, our political action committee, support candidates for political office and organizations that share our pro-growth vision, our aspirations for the future of global agriculture, and our commitment to the people who depend on it for their lives and livelihoods. All ADM and ADMPAC political contributions are made in strict accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws.
Through the first half of the 2010 calendar year, ADM's corporate contributions totaled $137,000, with recipients ranging from individual state candidate campaigns to state political parties and select state-level political associations.
ADMPAC's contributions to federal candidates, state candidates, and various federal campaign committees and state campaign committees during this period totaled $110,000. This figure and supporting data have been filed with the Federal Election Commission.
