The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:10 a.m., in room 2128, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Maxine Waters [chair- woman of the subcommittee] presiding. Members present: Representatives Waters, Maloney, Clay, Sires, Ellison; Biggert, and Capito. Ex officio: Chairman Frank. Also present: Representative Mahoney. Chairwoman WATERS. This hearing of the Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity will come to order. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’d first like to thank Rank- ing Member Judy Biggert for being here today and the members of the Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity for joining me for today’s hearing on H.R. 2930, the Section 202 Sup- portive Housing for the Elderly Act of 2007. I’d like to start by noting that without objection, Mr. Mahoney will be considered a member of the subcommittee for the duration of this hearing. Also without objection, all members’ opening state- ments will be made part of the record. I am looking forward to hearing from the two panels of witnesses today, because the Section 202 program is such a cornerstone of our Federal response to the needs of our Nation’s most vulnerable elderly households. I appreciate the work of Mr. Mahoney in crafting H.R. 2930, which is designed to ensure that Section 202 retains its vitality. Today over 6,000 projects, containing over 310,000 units nation- wide, receive assistance under this program. Enacted as Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959, it is among our oldest Federal sub- sidized housing programs, and the only HUD program with the sole focus on meeting the needs of the poor elderly. I’d like to start with the good news about the 202 program: it works. By this I mean that the combination of affordable housing and coordinated supportive services provided by 202 project spon- sors has been proven to enable elderly tenants with a median age of 76 to live as independently as possible for as long as possible. This goal, referred to as helping seniors age in place, is part of what I regard as almost a technological revolution over the last few (1) VerDate 0ct 09 2002 15:44 Dec 14, 2007 Jkt 039538 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 K:\DOCS\39538.TXT HFIN PsN: TERRIE 2 decades in meeting the health and housing needs of many vulner- able populations.

    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2010 Remarks at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Representative Ron Klein Dinner in Miami, Florida October 11, 2010 Hello, everybody. Please have a seat, have a seat. It is good to be back, Miami. This is quite a view, Alonzo. [Laughter] To the entire Mourning family, Tracy and Alonzo, Trey, Myka, Alijah, thank you so much for your hospitality and this spectacular setting. We are grateful to you. To Representative Chris Van Hollen, who is here, the chairman of the DCCC, everybody give him a big round of applause. Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is here. Representative Ron Klein is here. And we're going to get him back in Congress. Representative Kathy Castor—is Kathy here? Give her a round of applause anyway, even if she's not here. And I know Representative Ted Deutch is here, and his beautiful family. In addition, I want to say that Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, I wish you the best of luck when you're not playing the Bulls. [Laughter] I just want to be clear about that. I like you. [Laughter] But when you're playing the Bulls I'm rooting against you. [Laughter] I am stunned that Alonzo let a Laker in here. [Laughter] But he said that Magic transcends party lines—and so we're glad to have Magic in the house. Now, I want to just say a little bit about Ron, because so much of the reason we're here is to make sure that he continues to do the outstanding work that he's doing on behalf of south Florida.

TEA PARTY ENDORSEMENT EFFECT ON CONGRESSIONAL HOUSE ELECTIONS JOSHUA BRADY BRANCH SPRING 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Political Science with honors in Political Science Reviewed and approved* by the following: Dr. Marie Hojnacki Associate Professor Thesis Supervisor Dr. Gretchen Casper Associate Professor Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The primary focus of my research is to determine how influential the Tea Party’s endorsement is in elections, with special attention to House elections in 2010 and 2012. Does the Tea Party’s endorsement matter in House elections? How, if at all, has the Tea Party’s influence changed? A secondary focus is determining what other factors may have played a role in the 2010 election that may have exaggerated the perceived strength of the Tea Party. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Tables……………………………………………………………………………..iv Acknowledgements……………………………………………………………………….v Chapter 1: Introduction…………………………………………………………………...1 Chapter 2: Literature Review……………………………………………………………..4 Chapter 3: The Changing Electoral Context from 2010 to 2012………………………..10 Chapter 4: Theory and Hypotheses……………………………………………………...13 Chapter 5: Data and Methodology……………………………………………………....16 Chapter 6: Results and Analyses………………………………………………………...21 Chapter 7: The Tea Party in the 2012 Election………………………………………….26 Chapter 8:
