AG-PAC is Oregon's Agricultural Political Action Committee. We represent the interests of agriculture, forestry, and natural resource-based industries in the Oregon Legislature — identifying, endorsing, and supporting the legislative decision-makers who understand and champion those industries, regardless of where they serve.
Before AG-PAC existed, Oregon's agricultural community had no real voice in Salem. Legislative and agency doors were closed to farmers, ranchers, and foresters on the very issues that affected them most. The solution was straightforward: pool resources, speak with one voice, and earn meaningful representation in the Oregon Legislature.
In 1989, AG-PAC was formally established with a founding coalition of eight agricultural and natural resource industries. Today that coalition has grown to fourteen organizations and AG-PAC has become a recognized and respected force in Oregon politics that candidates, legislators, and policymakers take seriously.
Oregon's agricultural, forestry, and natural resource industries are a cornerstone of our state's economy and identity. AG-PAC exists to ensure that the decision-makers in Salem understand that and are committed to policies that reflect it.
AG-PAC takes a proactive role in identifying and supporting decision-makers and legislative candidates who demonstrate a thorough understanding of the needs and contributions of Oregon's agricultural, forestry, and natural resource industries.
We support legislative candidates and individuals seeking congressional, legislative, and statewide public office who are committed to advancing the best interests of Oregon's agricultural, forestry, and natural resource industries and the broader economic well-being of all Oregonians.
AG-PAC maintains an active presence in Oregon's political landscape — tracking candidate and elected official positions on agricultural, timber, and natural resource issues, and engaging where it matters most for the communities and industries we represent.
AG-PAC is governed by a board of directors drawn from its member organizations. The following officers currently serve the coalition:
