2008 Voter Election Information

A message from the President
Kenneth Dierschke

The Texas Farm Bureau Friends of Agriculture Fund (AGFUND) Inc., has examined the races, measuring the candidates and their stands on the issues affecting the farm and ranch families of Texas. AGFUND has chosen to endorse candidates in many, but not all, races.

On this web site you will find the recommendations that are the result of our AGFUND process.

Voting is a cherished right, bought by the blood of patriots, and a very personal decision. We do not presume to “tell you how to vote.” That is your right and your decision. Our goal with these endorsements is to assure you that Texas Farm Bureau AGFUND has carefully examined each race, and determined its impact on agriculture and Farm Bureau policy.

We hope you find this information helpful. Please exercise the right of free men and women and vote.

Sincerely,
Kenneth Dierschke, President
Texas Farm Bureau AGFUND

How AGFUND works

The Texas Farm Bureau Friends of Agriculture Fund (AGFUND) Inc., is a separate segregated fund and is the political action arm of Texas Farm Bureau. Recommendations on endorsements are made by representatives of county Farm Bureau organizations within a political district. Actual endorsement is made by the Texas Farm Bureau AGFUND Board of Directors. Decisions regarding the endorsement of incumbent officials are made according to the AGFUND guidelines and are based on policy positions of the organization.

AGFUND is grassroots political influence at its best. One of the guiding principles of Farm Bureau has always been that local decisions— made where the people live, work and vote—are better than living with decisions made far away. AGFUND is modeled on that principle.
