    The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network

    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

Design and layout: Buddy Simpson Introduction Control of the United States Senate is at stake in the 2016 elections. Out of 34 senate races nationally, the outcome could be decided by just several swing states and a few key constituencies.1 But there is another deciding factor in this year’s race for the senate: money.

    Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) 20-01, Solar

    Committee: Joint AGENDA ITEM #9C Staff: Jeffrey L. Zyontz, Senior Legislative Analyst January 26, 2021 Purpose: Final action – vote expected Action Montgomery Keywords: #solar collection, #solar panels, #AR zone County Council SUBJECT ZTA 20-01, Solar Collection System – AR Zone Standards EXPECTED ATTENDEES Casey Anderson, Chair, Montgomery County Planning Board Robert Kronenberg, Deputy Director, Planning Department Ben Berbert, Zoning Coordinator, Planning Department Adriana Hochberg, Climate Change Coordinator, Office of the County Executive Stan Edwards, Chief, Division of Environmental Policy and Compliance, Department of Environmental Protection Jeremy Criss, Director, Office of Agriculture Mike Scheffel, Director of Planning and Promotions, Office of Agriculture Doug Lechlider, Stakeholder Co-Chair Leslie Elder, Stakeholder Co-Chair COUNCIL DECISION POINTS & COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Joint meetings of the Planning, Housing, and Economic Development Committee and Transportation and Environment Committee resulted in a recommendation to approve ZTA 20-01 with amendments. The amendments are generally aimed at environmental protection and allowing for a different type of agriculture under solar panels. DESCRIPTION/ISSUE ZTA 20-01 would revise the Solar Collection System use standards to allow larger facilities in the Agricultural Reserve (AR) zone. The total amount of collection systems on all parcels would be limited to 1,800 acres. Any collection system constructed under the proposed text amendment must be designated pollinator-friendly under the Maryland Pollinator-Friendly Designation Program or be planted with crops suitable for grazing. Facilities larger than that need to meet 200% of on-site energy needs and would require site plan approval. SUMMARY OF KEY DISCUSSION POINTS Solar panels are only allowed in the AR zone as an accessory use; the Zoning Ordinance defines that as a facility that produces no more than 120% of on-site electrical needs.

    SHIFTING THE POLITICS OF CLIMATE CHANGE LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS BIENNIAL REPORT 2013/2014 SHIFTING THE POLITICS LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS BIENNIAL REPORT 2013-2014 OF CLIMATE CHANGE In the last two years, the environmental movement has made major progress in the fight for climate action. Thank you for being a part of this important work. With your generous investment, we spent nearly $70 million in 2013-2014, a record for LCV. We used this support to help win historic advances from the Obama administration on climate change, including the EPA proposing the Clean Power Plan, which will be the first-ever national limits on carbon pollution from U.S. power plants. We successfully defeated relentless attacks on clean air, clean water, and public health from an environmentally-hostile U.S. House of Representatives and made denying climate science an increasingly toxic position for politicians. Our grassroots work in the states is booming. Since 2013, we have built a powerful volunteer organizing infrastructure in seven states and helped mobilize Latino communities on climate and clean energy issues. This work is unique to LCV among environmental groups. Our state LCV partners are gaining influence, defending core environmental protections, and winning important policy fights across the country. Our growing membership, now 1.2 million, is more engaged than ever in local, state, and national environmental fights. With your partnership, we exceeded our goals for the 2013-2014 election cycle, when LCV and state LCVs invested close to $30 million in federal and state races. Working with our friends at NRDC Action Fund, we also raised or contributed a record $5.8 million in direct support to candidates through LCV Action Fund’s respected GiveGreen bundling program.
