Pennsylvania Delegation Letter to Congressional Leadership on LIHTC
April 20, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Mitch McConnell Speaker of the House Majority Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington DC 20515 Washington DC 20510 The Honorable Kevin McCarthy The Honorable Charles Schumer Minority Leader Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington DC 20515 Washington DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Leader McCarthy, and Leader Schumer: As you consider additional legislative priorities related to COVID-19, we respectfully urge you to support critical improvements to the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program. The LIHTC program, administered jointly by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and state tax credit allocating agencies, provides federal tax credits to developers in exchange for their investment in developing and preserving affordable rental housing. The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, for instance, monitors more than 1,100 affordable housing communities receiving LIHTC. Across the country, LIHTC has led to the development and preservation of over 3 million affordable rental units. As American families struggle to cover health care, utilities, and food costs during this health and economic crisis, access to safe, permanent housing is critical to prevent homelessness and poverty. Targeted public-private investments help provide desperately needed affordable housing for low-income families. As you weigh additional federal assistance measures to address COVID-19, we strongly encourage you to include the following LIHTC changes: Enact a minimum 4% credit rate used to finance acquisitions and Housing Bond- financed developments. LIHTC rates fluctuate in response to market interest movements. Tied to declining federal borrowing rates, the value of the 4% credit rate is closer to 3% – the lowest it has ever been.

The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

August 10, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Steny
August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

ERG's Pennsylvania Pre-Election Assessment 2020 U.S. House Of
PO Box 1205 Harrisburg, PA 17108 O: 717-233-8606 F: 717-798-3159 [email protected] www.erg-partners.com October 28, 2020 ERG’s Pennsylvania Pre-election Assessment 2020 The Presidential election has seen both camps in and out of Pennsylvania regularly, as the Trump camp sees the state as one of a half-dozen critical states as keys to an electoral college victory, and former VP Biden’s camp wants to win one or two of those six outright to forestall a lengthy battle in the courts. Strategies differ, with the Democrats focusing on early voting in those states, and Republicans looking at more traditional get out the vote programs. One national poll earlier this week suggested that 86% of Republicans plan to vote on Election Day. That means election night when you just count the results from the day’s voting, Trump may well lead in Pennsylvania, but given the rules of mail-in voting and counting, a week later, Biden may well be the winner. President Trump won Pennsylvania by just 44,000 votes in 2016, and Republicans have reduced their voter registration deficit by almost 250,000 voters in the last four years. Polls in Pennsylvania have been shoing Biden with a 5-9 percent lead among registered voters and 4-6% among likely voters. One observation: compared to 2016, Biden’s polling is slightly better than Clinton’s; the continuing daily COVID-19 message is not helping Trump; the Biden team is much better organized than Clinton’s was in 2016; and early voting has brought in four times as many Democratic and “other” votes than Republican votes in the last two weeks.
