History of the NDFB PAC

The NDFB PAC, North Dakota Farm Bureau's state political action committee, was established in 2005 to support candidates who share the philosophies of North Dakota Farm Bureau.

At the heart of the NDFB PAC is County Evaluation Committees (CECs). They help determine those who will be endorsed. CEC members are comprised of county Farm Bureau directors or other members appointed by the county Farm Bureau president.The recommendations made by CECs are forwarded to the NDFB PAC Executive Committee for final determination.

Farm Bureau members from each of the nine Farm Bureau districts elect a representative to the state NDFB PAC Executive Committee. In addition to the elected representatives from each of the nine NDFB districts, the NDFB President and a member of the NDFB Board --  elected by the NDFB Board -- serve on the executive committee. The executive committee makes the final decision on candidates to support.

Farm Bureau members may contribute to the NDFB PAC. Contributions are voluntary and are not deductible for income tax purposes. Corporate contributions are prohibited by law.
