Business for Good Government (BGG) is an affiliated political action committee of the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, authorized by the State of California and the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) to raise funds; and endorse candidates, initiatives and ballot measures. BGG operates independently of the Fremont Chamber of Commerce and is governed by its own board of trustees.

BGG plays an active role in the support of business interests in all state, regional, and local arenas.  Formed in 1995 to help elect candidates sensitive to business issues, BGG enables the business community to have a voice in the political process. BGG has a board of trustees independent of the Chamber’s Board of Directors. Although the Chamber Board communicates its positions on the issues to BGG for their consideration, BGG’s endorsements of candidates and ballot measures are made independently.
