Missouri Farm Bureau PAC
Missouri Farm Bureau’s Political Action Committee (PAC) allows Farm Bureau members a more direct and effective voice in the political arena. Each county Farm Bureau appoints a trustee to the PAC. These trustees are grouped into geographic regions to allow members to use their direct local knowledge when considering endorsements in each race.
Support the PAC
Through grassroots advocacy and political action programs, Missouri Farm Bureau builds relationships and engages with key lawmakers to influence real-world policy decisions in Jefferson City and Washington, DC. Electing pro-agriculture candidates to political office is a top priority of our members.
Our work depends on leaders who will listen, learn and act on our behalf. They are essential to the future of Missouri’s farmers and ranchers.
MOFB’s PAC has a proven track record of success. Since its inception, our PAC has a success rate of over 90%. This is a direct result of our grassroots political engagement – and it’s critical that we continue our momentum. Join us as we work to send ag-friendly lawmakers to Jefferson City and Washington, DC, to protect agriculture and share the success stories of American farmers and ranchers.
Endorsements
Historically, MOFB’s PAC has considered endorsements in U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor, and Missouri Senate races. Endorsements are usually considered following the primary election; however, the PAC also permits an endorsement for a candidate for Missouri Governor, Missouri State Senate, U.S. Senate or U.S. House of Representatives prior to the primary election if the situation warrants.
The MOFB PAC operates on a bipartisan basis, supporting those candidates who will best represent Farm Bureau policy regardless of party.
Trustees vote by written ballot and have historically required a two-thirds vote for endorsement.
Since being organized in 1976, more than 90 percent of MOFB PAC endorsed candidates have won election.
