Food Council Committee for Good Government

The Food Council Committee for Good Government (FCCfGG) is NJFC’s Political Action Committee (PAC), which was formed to aid and promote the nomination and election of candidates for state offices who will best foster and support the concerns of food retailers doing business in New Jersey. It is a voluntary, non-profit, unincorporated association registered with the State of New Jersey.

This non-partisan committee is managed by a chairman and a treasurer, while a representative Board of Governors, comprised of leaders in the retail food industry, is responsible for directing the Committee’s activities.

Funding for the FCCfGG is primarily derived from member contributions and ticket sales for the Annual Breakfast, sponsored by the Committee, and attended by prominent political leaders of both parties. Corporate contributions to this Committee are permitted but are not tax deductible.Purposes and Goals of our Political Action Committee

Since its formation, the FCCfGG has been instrumental in promoting good relations between state and governmental officials and the food industry. Through the FCCfGG, members are not only able to learn the ideas and opinions of elected officials and political candidates on a number of issues which may affect their businesses, they are also able to communicate their views on these important issues to the candidates for public office.

In addition, the Committee is responsible for channeling contributions to those candidates who the members believe will help achieve legislative decisions consistent with the policies of the food industry and create a favorable climate for the free enterprise system in New Jersey.

Legislators, opinion makers and political leaders cannot evaluate the impact of every piece of legislation and regulation on the food industry unless we share with them our views and our unique knowledge and expertise on the issues. This kind of communication and political action helps to further the cause of “good government” and a strong free enterprise system.

For the Good Government Committee to be truly effective, member participation is needed. Financial support, through contributions and ticket sales to FCCfGG events, is an important and effective way for our industry to be heard in the State House and throughout New Jersey.

Members are urged to become personally acquainted with their legislators and to contact them concerning issues of interest to their business and the food industry as a whole.
