A CLEAN SWEEP for the GOP from a Stunning Upset Win for Businessman Donald Trump to Become the 45Th President Elect of the United States, to the GOP Retaining the U.S
A CLEAN SWEEP FOR THE GOP From a stunning upset win for businessman Donald Trump to become the 45th president elect of the United States, to the GOP retaining the U.S. Senate and House, Republicans keeping their 9- 5 margin in the U.S. Congress, blocking any attempt by the Democrats to take control of the Michigan House of Representatives and maintaining a lock on the Michigan Supreme Court, it was a remarkable Republican victory. TRUMP RIDES A POPULIST THEME TO THE WHITE HOUSE Connecting with a “mad as hell and not going to take it anymore” feeling among the electorate, many of whom had never voted before, Donald Trump squeezed out a nail biter victory over the long presumed winner Hillary Clinton and put a big dent in the legacy of President Barack Obama. For the first time since 1988, it appeared likely that Michigan would go Republican in selecting a U.S. President. REPUBLICANS HOLD 9-5 EDGE IN U.S. HOUSE Retired Lt. General Jack Bergman crushed former Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lon Johnson 55 to 40 percent to win big in the 1st Congressional District where incumbent U.S. Representative Dan Benishek (R- Crystal River) did not seek reelection. In the 8th Congressional District Mike Bishop (R-Rochester) scored a healthy 57 to 39 percent margin victory over Democratic challenger Suzanna Shkreli and U.S. Representative Tim Walberg coasted to his fifth-term win by defeating Gretchen Driskell 59 to 36 percent. And former Ross Educational CEO Paul Mitchell was a first-time winner in his expected defeat of former Representative Frank Accavitti in Michigan’s 10th Congressional district. -

Two of our priority bills, including Law Enforcement and Victim Safety, passed with overwhelming majorities and have been signed into law. Looking to the future, we need to build on this momentum in partnership with our legislative champions, to create a gun responsibility majority in the Legislature and pass commonsense laws that help make our communities and families safe.

Presession Report 2019
PRESESSION REPORT 2019 PRE-FILED LEGISLATION • House http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/Prefiles.aspx?Chamber=2 • Senate http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/Prefiles.aspx?Chamber=1 There were 28 pre-filed pieces of legislation for 2019. While some were on the lighter side – such as naming the judicial center after Governor Nathan Deal and commending the Atlanta Braves 2018 season – some notables include the following: HB 2 – (Rep. Matt Gurtler) Allows certain Georgians to carry a firearm without a permit. HB 8 – (Rep. Debbie Buckner) Exempts certain women’s hygiene products from state sales tax. HR 2 – (Rep. Scot Turner) Prohibits the use of a poll tax in Georgia. HR 6 – (Rep. Michael Caldwell) Provides for term limits for state elected officials. SB 2 – (Sen. Steve Gooch) Allows for EMCs to partner with internet companies to provide broadband service to members. HOT BUTTON ISSUES FOR 2019 Education Throughout the campaign, Governor Kemp presented education as one of his top priorities. Included in this is teacher compensation and a priority on mental health counselors in schools as well as school security. We will also continue to watch and see how the state proceeds with the implementation of the testing pilot program passed in 2018. One complication in education policy in 2019 is a void in leadership in each Chamber. With the retirement of Brooks Coleman in the House and Senator Lindsey Tippins resigning his chairmanship, both committees are currently without a leader. We expect the new chairs to be announced any day now. Rural Georgia Throughout the 2018 Legislative Session and the 2018 Campaign season, we saw a recurring theme in that legislators see the need for reforms that aid rural Georgia. -

House of Representatives
House of Representatives JON BURNS MAJORITY LEADER ROOM 338, STATE CAPITOL ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30334 December 4, 2020 SENT VIA EMAIL: Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger Chairperson of the State Election Board Mrs. Rebecca N. Sullivan Vice-Chairperson of the State Election Board Dear Secretary Raffensperger and Mrs. Sullivan, As I am sure you have seen over the past month, many Georgians, including my colleagues who have signed this correspondence, have serious concerns about Georgia’s elections. As we approach a critical election on January 5, 2021, it is clear that Georgia voters must have confidence in the election process going forward. To that end, below you will find two common-sense suggestions: a rule that should be promulgated by the State Election Board (the “SEB”) and additional resources of which the Office of the Secretary of State (the “SOS”) or the SEB could take advantage. I. Absentee Ballot Application and Mail-In Absentee Ballot Signature Review Process. As the process currently stands, when a voter wishes to vote early by mail, they submit an Absentee Ballot Application (“Application”) either through the mail or online. When a local Board of Registrars (the “BOR”) receives a paper Application, typically, a single employee of the BOR is responsible for the initial review of a signature on a paper Application. If that paper Application is accepted, the BOR mails an Absentee Ballot to the voter. The process for reviewing signatures on the external envelope of a returned Absentee Ballot is the same – a single employee of the BOR is allowed to “approve” a signature without oversight by other employees or independent observers. -

LillyPAC was established to work to ensure that this vision is also shared by lawmakers, who make policy decisions that impact our company and the patients we serve. In a new political environment where policies can change with a “tweet,” we must be even more vigilant about supporting those who believe in our story, and our PAC is an effective way to support those who share our views. We also want to ensure that you know the story of LillyPAC. Transparency is an important element of our integrity promise, and so we are pleased to share this 2016 LillyPAC annual report with you. LillyPAC raised $949,267 through the generous, voluntary contributions of 3,682 Lilly employees in 2016. Those contributions allowed LillyPAC to invest in 187 federal candidates and more than 500 state candidates who understand the importance of what we do. You will find a full financial accounting in the following pages, as well as complete lists of candidates and political committees that received LillyPAC support and the permissible corporate contributions made by the company. In addition, this report is a helpful guide to understanding how our PAC operates and makes its contribution decisions. On behalf of the LillyPAC Governing Board, I want to thank everyone who has made the decision to support this vital program.
