YEAR IN REVIEW 2020 NSSFPAC.ORG Message From PAC Treasurer PAC YEAR IN REVIEW 2020 DEAR PAC MEMBERS On behalf of the National Shooting Sports Foundation® Political Action Committee (NSSF® PAC), I am pleased to present our 2020 Year in Review. This report reflects political activity, financial highlights and overall engagement throughout both the calendar year and election cycle. We strive to provide a level of transparency to our members and we take pride in the critical work NSSF PAC does on behalf of the firearm and ammunition industry. In the 2020 cycle, NSSF PAC received an unprecedented amount of support even in a presidential election year which is understandably the most active for all Political Action Committees. To all members, your leadership and investment in NSSF PAC serves a critical role in making the voice of the industry heard in Washington, D.C. In this report, I invite you to take a look at what NSSF has accomplished in the 2020 election cycle. As we face the challenges of a new administration, Lawrence G. Keane and a new Congress, there are many things to be optimistic about, as NSSF PAC Treasurer PAC looks to build on our track record of working to elect more pro-industry, National Shooting pro-hunting and shooting sports allies to join us in Washington, D.C.

These events combine the PAC’s mission to sup- port candidates for office who support our industry, while promoting our industry and the products we manufacture, distribute and sell, and while introducing hundreds of policymakers, staff, and government relations professionals to the shooting sports. Unfortunately, due to the COVID 19 restrictions, we were forced to cancel and postpone almost all of our scheduled events in 2020. Instead, NSSF PAC was able to introduce many of our champions in Congress directly to you, our members and supporters, through a series of townhall events. Steve Daines Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) spoke with NSSF about hunting and conservation efforts in the Senate and raising his children hunting big game in Montana. Katie Pavlich Townhall editor and Fox News Contributor Katie Pavlich joined NSSF for a preview of the 2020 election. Shelley Moore Capito NSSF’s 2019 Legislator of the Year, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) accepts her award and discusses her bill the Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act. Steve Scalise US House Republican Whip, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) talks about his history with PLCAA, and how surviving an attack by gunman has strengthened his belief in the Second Amendment. Martha McSally US Senator Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) checks in with NSSF to highlight the differences between her and her opponent on firearms issues. PAC YEAR IN REVIEW 2020 Page 5 Kevin McCarthy US House Republican Leader, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) outlines his conference’s platform for pro industry, pro Second Amendment policies. Thom Tillis US Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) updates NSSF PAC members on his race, the entire senate map, and discusses bank policies that discriminate against the firearm and ammunition industry. Tom Reed and Elise Stefanik NSSF PAC supporters got a twofer with New York Republican Representatives Elise Stefanik and Tom Reed. The pair from New York detailed the changes COVID has had on the country and trying to keep the economy moving – including keeping firearm and ammunition manufacturers open for business. Ted Budd No one understands the work NSSF does better than Congressman Ted Budd (R-N.C.) who in addition to being a pro firearm industry legislator, is a member of the industry, and an NSSF premium retail member.

    1605026 NY Spotlight Memo

    ! MEMORANDUM TO: Interested Parties FROM: Alixandria Lapp, Executive Director, House Majority PAC DATE: May 26, 2016 RE: Congressional Democrats Poised for Pick-Ups Across the Empire State With just over a month until New York’s June 28 congressional primaries, and just under six months from the November general election, Democrats are poised for significant pick-ups in congressional districts across the Empire State. This year Democrats are overwhelmingly on offense in New York – with at least six Republican held seats that could be flipped this November. Multiple Republican incumbents and challengers are finding their already-precarious political prospects diminishing even further as they struggle with a damaging party brand, a toxic presidential ticket-mate, and increasingly prove themselves out of touch with their own districts. Bottom line: With New York’s congressional Republicans increasingly vulnerable heading into the fall, Democrats are overwhelmingly on offense and well-positioned to win key districts across the state in 2016. New York Republicans Tied to Toxic Brand As in any presidential year, down-ballot races will be heavily shaped by the top of the ticket. For Republicans, particularly in New York, that’s bad news. Even before the GOP presidential race took shape, New York’s congressional Republicans faced significant structural political challenges. In six competitive Republican-held districts, President Obama either won or came within 1% of winning in 2008 and 2012. Now with Donald Trump as their presidential ticket-mate, down-ballot prospects for New York Republicans are far worse. Earlier this month, a poll by Morning Consult found that nearly half of all Americans would “be less likely to support candidates for public office if they say they back Donald Trump.” And despite Donald Trump’s big win in New York’s presidential primary, there’s no indication that it will translate to success in November.

Duke Energy and Boeing are also on this list despite these entity’s public declarations in January aimed at their customers and shareholders that were pausing all donations for a period of time, including those to members that voted against certifying the election. The leaders, companies and trade groups associated with these PACs should have to answer for their support of lawmakers whose votes that fueled the violence and sedition we saw on January 6.

There are over 2,000 centers across the nation, including 221 in Michigan, that are uniquely poised to address the immense physical and mental health needs of students and families resulting from COVID-19. A dedicated funding stream of $100 million for these centers would enable expanded access to health care and mental health services for students and families, even while schools remain closed, avoiding any potential gaps in care both during and after the pandemic. Currently, SBHCs across the nation provide invaluable comprehensive health care services to over two million young people. These centers will become an even more vital resource for mental health services as a result of this pandemic, when many students and families might struggle with trauma and anxiety about returning to school, coupled with rising unemployment rates and economic instability. The centers also provide immediate support to communities during the pandemic by employing clinicians who can diagnose and treat COVID-19 patients, as well as case managers and nurses that support families when a parent has tested positive for COVID-19.

  • Oklahoma State Election Board

    Oklahoma State Election Board

    OKLAHOMA STATE ELECTION BOARD June 2, 2021 The Honorable Jim lnhofe, United States Senator The Honorable James Lankford, United States Senator Senators lnhofe and Lankford: As Oklahoma's chief election official, I am writing to make you aware of my concerns regarding S.1, companion legislation of H.R.1, which was considered by the United States Senate Rules Committee on May 11, 2021. In short, S.1 is an unnecessary (and constitutionally dubious) federalization of election administration policy that would negatively impact our ability to administer fair and secure elections in Oklahoma. The administration of elections should be left to the States, as the Constitution and our federal form of government intends. The justification for S.1 that I hear most often from its proponents is that it is necessary to counter new "voter suppression" la ws in the States. But the concerns about these new election laws seem exaggerated, and in many cases appear to be based on misinformation about the content of those laws. Furthermore, regardless of what is happening in other States, there is no evidence of "voter suppression" here in our state. S.1 seeks to supersede most of Oklahoma's election administration and election integrity laws. For example, it legalizes absentee ballot harvesting and makes it virtually impossible to verify the identity of in-person and absentee voters - in direct contravention of Oklahoma's election laws. S.1 also attempts to micromanage some of the most minute details of election administration, such as voting hours and polling place locations. S.1 is not compatible with Oklahoma's election deadlines.
