Why Have a PAC?Why Have a PAC?
“The CSX Good Government Fund, our employees' political action committee, is the primary means by which we are able to speak loudly and in unison on
behalf of our company and our industry.
Without this strong voice, our interests would be overwhelmed by those of our competitors and anti-
business groups that support onerous regulations and higher taxes.”
-Michael Ward
Chairman, CEO & President, CSX

— At absolutely no additional cost CSX GGF participants help two worthy organizations for the price of one!
