Political Contributions
Since 2007, Altria has disclosed information regarding political contributions made by each of its companies and its PAC. Twice a year, Altria discloses all PAC and corporate political contributions made to candidates, political parties, PACs, caucus committees, independent expenditure committees (also known as "Super PACs"), entities organized under section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code (also known as "527 organizations") and ballot measure committees in the U.S.
Altria does not make its own independent expenditures, but such expenditures would be disclosed if they are made in the future.
Please note that the Ste. Michelle Wine Estates PAC ended its operations in September 2021, due to the sale of Ste. Michelle Wine Estates by one of Altria’s subsidiaries. In the interest of completeness and transparency, contributions made by the Ste. Michelle Wine Estates PAC prior to the change in ownership of the wine company will continue to be disclosed on Altria.com.
