Copyright © 2012 K&L Gates Page 1 Introduction ELECTION 2012: CHANGES IN CONGRESS After a long, expensive and whirlwind campaign, a closely divided country voted to retain the status quo: President Barack Obama was re-elected and the Congress remains split, with Republicans controlling the House and Democrats controlling the Senate. In the United States Senate, the Democrats achieved a net gain of two seats. In addition, Angus King, an Independent elected in Maine, will likely caucus with the Democrats. Only one Senate incumbent lost his seat: Scott Brown (R) of Massachusetts. The eight new Democratic Senators are: Chris Murphy (CT), Mazie Hirono (HI), Joe Donnelly (IN), Elizabeth Warren (MA), Martin Heinrich (NM), Heidi Heitkamp (ND), Tim Kaine (VA), and Tammy Baldwin (WI). The Republicans have three new Senators: Jeff Flake (AZ), Deb Fischer (NE), and Ted Cruz (TX). The Democrats have 53 Senators and two Independents who will caucus with them. The Republicans have 45 Senators. In the House of Representatives, it appears that the Democrats will pick up a handful of seats with several races to be determined. The Democrats will have at least 50 new members, including eleven from California, five each from Illinois and Texas, four each from Florida and New York, three from Washington, and two each from Arizona, New Hampshire and Nevada. The Republicans will have at least 35 new members, including four from North Carolina, three each from California, Florida, Indiana, and Texas, and two each from Kentucky, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania. The House will have 234 Republicans and 201 Democrats next year, which is a net pick up of eight for the Democrats.

Where there there is is no no law, law, neither neither is there is there violation violation. A Research Project – March 2014 Foreword The Right Reverend Thomas E. Breidenthal, D. Phil., Bishop The Diocese of Southern Ohio Convener of the Task Force on Racial Profiling Almost two years have passed since we learned of the death of Trayvon Martin. There can be no question that racial profiling was a factor in this tragedy. This connects Trayvon's death to the experience of countless African-Americans of all ages, especially African-American males, who continue to be suspected of criminal intent at every turn. Of course, racial profiling of any group implies racial profiling of everybody: people who look Mexican or Central American are profiled as illegal immigrants, while people of European descent are profiled as law-abiding. Yet in this country it falls to men of African descent to be profiled as dangerous. This is as true within the church as outside of it. We are taught as followers of Jesus to see Christ in the face of everyone we meet. But the first thing we see is race, and then whatever we pin on race, whether positive or negative.

  • Opening Statement of the Honorable Matt Salmon (R-AZ) House
    Opening Statement of the Honorable Matt Salmon (R-AZ) House Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere Hearing on “Overview of US Interests in the Western Hemisphere: Opportunities and Challenges” February 28, 2013 (As Prepared for Delivery) Good morning, and welcome to our first hearing of the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, where we will be exploring the opportunities and challenges the U.S. faces in the region. When I returned to Congress this year, I was privileged to rejoin the Foreign Affairs Committee and honored to have been given the gavel of the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere. As a native Arizonan, I know what many of my colleagues have yet to realize, our neighbors in the Western Hemisphere are critical to U.S. security, energy independence and economic prosperity. I believe that our strong cultural, trade and investment relationships and demographic ties with Canada and the Americas connect the region and open the way to constructive dialogue on how to make our hemisphere safer and more prosperous. First of all, let me welcome the Subcommittee’s distinguished new Ranking Member, Congressman Albio Sires who represents the 8th Congressional District of New Jersey. I look forward to working with you on a bipartisan basis to help foster positive results for U.S. foreign policy in the region. In addition, to our returning Senior Members of the Committee, it is my pleasure to give a warm welcome to our Freshman Majority Members, Ron DeSantis and Trey Radel, both of whom hail from the great State of Florida. And although not new to Congress I would like to welcome two new additions to the Subcommittee on the Minority side of the aisle, Theodore Deutch and Alan Grayson, also both from the great State of Florida.

  • 2014 Florida Profile of Hispanic Electorate and Candidates Released in Advance of State Primary Election
    For Immediate Release Contact: Amanda Bosquez, [email protected] August 21, 2014 (202) 546-2536 ext. 112, (361) 548-6989 (cell) Paula Valle Castanon, [email protected] (213) 747-7606 ext. 4414, (323) 253-6431 (cell) 2014 Florida Profile of Hispanic Electorate and Candidates Released in Advance of State Primary Election Hispanic turnout in Florida mid-term Congressional elections has nearly doubled since 1998 WASHINGTON, D.C. - The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund, the nation’s leading organization that facilitates the full participation of Latinos in the American political process, today released its 2014 primary profile for the Hispanic electorate and candidates in Florida. According to 2012 Census data, Florida was home to 4,484,201 Hispanics who were nearly one- fourth (23 percent) of the state’s residents. Among all states in the United States, Florida’s population is comprised of the third highest share of Hispanics. Over one-seventh (15 percent) of Florida’s registered voters are Hispanic. Census data showed that between 1998 and 2010, Hispanic voter turnout in mid-term Congressional elections nearly doubled, growing from 439,000 to 863,000, an increase of 97 percent. During the last decade, there have been significant changes in the partisan affiliation of Florida’s Hispanic electorate. According to Pew Hispanic Trends, as recently as 2006, more Hispanics in Florida were registered as Republicans (37 percent) than as Democrats (33 percent). By 2008, the balance tipped over to the Democrats, with the gap continuing to grow. Voter file data from October 2013 indicate that Florida’s Hispanic registered voters are nearly as likely to be registered as Democrats (38 percent) as non-Hispanics (39 percent) and much less likely to be registered as Republican (27 percent) than the non-Hispanic electorate (37 percent).

    ML Strategies Legislative Update ML Strategies, LLC 701 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20004 USA David Leiter 202 296 3622 [email protected] 202 434 7400 fax www.mlstrategies.com NOVEMBER 1‚ 2012 Countdown to the Election November 6th is just around the corner, and the campaign season is dying down. ML Strategies has compiled recent polling and punditry on the 2012 Presidential, Senate, and House races. The race to the White House grows closer as Election Day approaches. In the past week of polling, roughly half have shown a slight Obama lead while the other half has Romney slightly leading. The control of the Senate remains uncertain: with eight races remaining pure tossups, it is not clear which party will be the majority in the 113th Congress. The House will likely remain in Republican control with anywhere 226 and 228 seats already solid, likely, or leaning Republican seats; 218 are needed for a majority.
