    February 25, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate ​ action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain ​ ​ ​ COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

  • Testimony of Levin Center at Wayne Law Before Pennsylvania House State Government Committee Hearing on Emergency Contracts
    Testimony of Levin Center at Wayne Law before Pennsylvania House State Government Committee Hearing on Emergency Contracts July 20, 2021 Thank you for this opportunity to testify on behalf of the Levin Center at Wayne Law.1 The Levin Center was established to honor Senator Carl Levin who, after serving 36 years in the U.S. Senate representing the state of Michigan, has left a legacy demonstrating the value of fact- based legislative oversight conducted on a bipartisan basis. The Levin Center honors that legacy by promoting fact-based, bipartisan legislative oversight by Congress and the 50 state legislatures. We both work for the Levin Center, Elise Bean as director of our Washington office and Ben Eikey as manager of our state outreach effort. We would first like to commend the Committee for holding this hearing to examine how the Pennsylvania legislature can better oversee state contracts issued on an emergency basis and help safeguard taxpayer dollars and ensure contractors perform as promised. States spend billions of taxpayer dollars each year through contracts, enlisting companies and others to address critical public needs, including health care, education, housing, and transportation. The pandemic heightened the importance of contract oversight as states spent billions of federal and state dollars through contracts to combat COVID-related problems. Because of the rapid spread of the virus and its devastating impact on businesses, communities, and families, much of the pandemic contract spending was distributed on an emergency basis. Oversight of those emergency contracts – to ensure the price was reasonable, the contractor had the needed resources, and the work actually got done – is critical to protecting not only taxpayer dollars but also supporting communities, businesses, and families.

    This issue brought to you by 2021-22 Gubernatorial Overview: Hail to the (State) Chiefs FEBRUARY 19, 2021 VOLUME 5, NO. 4 By Jacob Rubashkin Natural disaster, mass protests, election administration, and the 2022 Governor Ratings omnipresent coronavirus pandemic have cemented governors as an unmissable part of the American landscape. Last year, state chiefs Battleground stepped into the void left by the federal government. This year, the Democratic-held (6) Republican-held (5) opportunity to exercise leadership and political power will likely come again. Kelly (D-Kan.) AZ Open (Ducey, R) With Congress closely divided for the unforeseeable future, the push Mills (D-Maine) DeSantis (R-Fl.) for major policy movement and experimentation could shift to the states Whitmer (D-Mich.) Kemp (R-Ga.) — so it benefits the political parties to hold power in as many states as possible. Sisolak (D-Nev.) MD Open (Hogan, R) There are currently 27 Republican governors compared to 23 PA Open (D-Wolf) Sununu (R-N.H.) Democratic governors. And while there are no perks to holding a Evers (D-Wisc.) “majority” of gubernatorial seats, the more governorships a party holds, the more influence it has on policy and the lives of Americans. Over the next two years, 38 states — including New Jersey and Solid Democratic (10) Solid Republican (15) Virginia this year — will elect a governor. Typically, this large class of Newsom (D-Calif.) Ivey (R-Ala.) governors offers members of Congress and other ambitious politicians an opportunity to climb the political ladder. But with so few term- Polis (D-Colo.) Dunleavy (R-Alaska) limited governors (just nine of 38), those chances are more scarce, at the Lamont (D-Conn.) AR Open (Hutchinson, R) outset.

  • CALENDAR 2022 Senate Overview
    This issue brought to you by 2022 Senate Overview: Defining the Battlefield By Nathan L. Gonzales and Jacob Rubashkin JULY 1, 2021 VOLUME 5, NO. 13 More than a year before the midterms, the narrow Senate battlefield continues to solidify as the candidate fields in key states become more clear. Yet there’s still one key ingredient missing in the fight for the 2022 Senate Ratings majority: the national political environment. There’s a rhythm to handicapping elections. At the beginning of each BATTLEGROUND cycle, it’s about coming up with logical hypotheses based on historical Democratic-Held (4) Republican-Held (4) trends. With a Democratic president in the White House, 2022 is likely Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) NC Open (Burr, R) to favor Republicans, with a neutral political environment being a Hassan (D-N.H.) PA Open (Toomey, R) secondary scenario. Kelly (D-Ariz.) Johnson (R-Wisc.) The balance of the cycle is spent testing initial hypotheses with Warnock (D-Ga.) Rubio (R-Fl.) current events and developments, and evaluating individual races accordingly. That means we should be open minded that next year will Solid Democratic (10) Solid Republican (16) favor Democrats if that’s where the news leads, it’s just the least likely Bennet (D-Colo.) AL Open (Shelby, R) political environment to develop at the outset. Blumenthal (D-Conn.) MO Open (Blunt, R) Considering Republicans need a net gain of just one seat for a Duckworth (D-Ill.) OH Open (Portman, R) majority, literally every seat matters, and any shift in the political Leahy (D-Vt.) Boozman (R-Ark.) environment could make the difference for which party controls the Murray (D-Wash.) Crapo (R-Idaho) Senate in the final two years of President Joe Biden’s first term.

Cuomo and Vice Chair Asa Hutchinson Statement on Meeting With President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris WASHINGTON – New York Governor and National Governors Association Chairman Andrew M. Cuomo and Arkansas Governor and NGA Vice Chairman Asa Hutchinson issued the following statement after meeting with President Biden and Vice President Harris earlier today: “Governors from across the country and the political spectrum have said for months that flexible and direct aid to state and local governments is essential for our continued front-line response to the COVID-19 crisis and our national economic recovery. During our Oval Office meeting today with President Biden, Vice President Harris, and a bipartisan group of Governors and mayors from across the country, the President and his team made clear that they recognize and appreciate how critical this targeted relief is for our ability to recover from this pandemic. “We thank President Biden, Vice President Harris, and their team for a productive meeting and their support, and call on Congress to ensure sufficient state and local aid is included in the final relief package. The finish line of this pandemic is in sight, and this support will give states and territories the resources we need to reach it, while continuing to provide the essential services our constituents rely on.” ### Founded in 1908, the National Governors Association (NGA) is the bipartisan organization of the nation’s 55 Governors.
