FAQs About the PAC

The Tractor Supply Company Political Action Committee (PAC) helps support our goal of taking care of our customers, the communities where we do business, our team members, and our shareholders. Much of what we do to fulfill that goal can be affected by decisions made by candidates who are or become elected officials who may know little about Tractor Supply or our mission to provide people everything they need to live “Life Out Here.” Having a PAC is one way of ensuring our voice is heard distinctly.

A great perk of the PAC – all PAC members can opt-in to PAC Match, which means Tractor Supply will match your donations to the PAC dollar-for-dollar and send them to a charity of your choice. That includes the Team Member Assistance Fund, the Tractor Supply Foundation, or any other registered charity. You’ll also receive PAC-branded merchandise when you join and if you increase your pledge to a certain level (more details under the contribution tab).

Below are a few answers to the most commonly asked questions about PACs so you have the information you need to be confident in supporting the Tractor Supply PAC.
