Appendix ~--~~.~~~~~~ Eagleton Institute of Politics APPENDIX ~--~~.~~~~~~ EAGLETON INSTITUTE OF POLITICS Presentation to the Clean Elections Commission on the Proposed Work of the NJ Clean Elections Academic Study Group June 17, 2005 by Ingrid W. Reed Director, Eagleton NJ Project Backjp'ound On April 8, 2005, a group of faculty members from various institutions of higher education whos1~ work includes a focus on New Jersey politics met at the Eagleton Institute for the purpose of discussing whether there were ways they might be useful to the recently-formed Clean Elections Commission which is charged to evaluate the pilot project providing public funding for two kgislative districts in the 2005 election. The focus of the meeting was on the purposes set out in New Jersey law creating the Clean Electi Jns pilot project: -Address the fact that residents of the State believe large contributions to campaigns have undue influence, and · · -That the political process is dominated by those who can afford to spend large amounts· of money on campaigns, and - -The result is an erosion of public confidence in the democratic process. -Also, that the pilot project would provide equal resources to candidates, reverse the escalating cost and free candidate~ from the chore of raising money, (based on the laws currently in effect in Maine and Arizona), as well as strengthen public confidence in the democratic process. The group also examined the charge to the Clean Elections Commission to: - examine the positive and negative aspects of the experience - review and recommend criteria for selecting districts and setting the seed money and qualifying contribution amounts - establishing support for primary races in 2007 - consider feasibility of applying to all races - means to finance clean elections and other matters. This in:;:Ormal group agreed to consider activities, which if undertaken independently from the Commi s~ion, would be useful to the Commission in evaluating the pilot project. ------------ 191 RYDERSLANE, NEW BRUNSWICK,.NJ 08901-8557 ----------- THE STATE UNIVERSl'IY'"- Of NEW JERSEY E-mail: [email protected]:ers.edu Tel: 732/932-9384 01 rrrroc Proposed Program C 1n May I 0, the informal group of academics met again at the Eagleton Institute of Politics and a;.~eed to be known as the New Jersey Clean Elections Academic Study Group. The purpose of tl Le Group is to support the Clean Elections Pilot Project by conducting research during the Pilot Project in the fall of 2005, analyze the information and data collected after the elections, and n lake this analysis available to the Clean Elections Commissions for their use in the evaluation n :quired by the Clean Election law. · The following are the components of the study that the Group considers essential and will a1 tempt to fulfill: A- Follow the conduct of the four campaigns in the two Clean Elections districts ru id in two to four other "control" districts with similar characteristics but possibly a contrast in g1 ~ography, media coverage and political balance. David Rebovich has provided a preliminary p: ~otocol for monitoring the campaign activity, including newspaper coverage, which will serve a:: basis for a sub-committee to design detailed guidance. Faculty interested in supervising a Ci unpaign or a district include Rebovich, Reed, Segers, Kem, Marbach. Others will be contacted. T b.e Group will meet at the end of June after the Pilot districts have been designated to select the cc mtrol districts and refine the protocol. B- Monitor media coverage and ads on television. Matt Hale, a co-director of the A nnenberg/U. of Wisconsin 2002 and l004 study of political campaign coverage on television rn 'ws programs has agreed to organize a study of the media coverage in pilot and control districts uning the U. of Wisconsin research design and team. It is proposed to conduct the study 30 days be ,fore the election and include 11 outlets - 8 network affiliates (four in Philadelphia and four in New York), 2 cable systems and New Jersey Network focusing on the nightly news program. It is estimated that the cost would be around $12,000 or $1,000 per outlet and miscellaneous e' :penses. Hale would donate his time. Additional infonnation would be collected about special p1 ogramming and debates. Television and radio ads would be requested from the campaigns after they have been aired. C- Conduct surveys to assess voter attitudes about issues of influence of money in election campaigns to determine if the Pilot Project influenced voter opinion as stated in the goals of the Clean Election Law. Peter Woolley of the Fairleigh-Dickinson Public Mind Poll and Jeffrey Levine of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling will collaborate in conducting two statewide polls, one in early September and another before election day as well as two polls designed to focus on the districts in the study to assess awareness of the clean election project. It is estimated that the direct cost for conducting the surveys will be about $20,000 if the survey qt estions are included in polls that are already planned. The agenda could include other research items such as an historical study of the 200 I A~sembly races in the pilot project district to provide a comparison to 2005, a review of evaluations conducted of the Arizona and Maine clean elections for useful ideas and contrasts, and consultations with the Brennan Center for their ideas on the study based on their extensive work cin clean elections. While faculty time would be contributed, support for the direct cost of the media monitoring and the su1 veys will be sought from interested funders. Suggestions are welcome. It was :igreed that the report of the work of the Group will be submitted to the interested faculty collabc •rators for their review and comment before the presentation to the Clean Elections Commission.

  • Results of the 2007 New Jersey General Elections
    Results of the 2007 New Jersey General Elections On Tuesday, November 6, 2007, New Jersey voters went to the polls to select all 120 seats in the Legislature. Yesterday’s general election altered the current make-up (50-30) of the State Assembly and the Senate (22-18). The Democrats retain control of both houses. The new make-up of the Assembly will be 48-32 and the Senate will be 23-17. After a lame duck session which begins on November 8, 2007, the new members of the Legislature will be sworn in on January 8, 2008. Efforts to resolve leadership in both houses will take place this week. Strong signals are that Senate President Dick Codey (D) will remain in his current leadership role with Joe Vitale, Paul Sarlo and Steve Sweeney vying for majority leader and budget committee chairman respectively in the upcoming Senate leadership election. Senate Minority Leader Leonard Lance (R) is reportedly going to forgo his leadership role in favor of Senator Tom Kean, Jr. (R) with Lance potentially to take over as the ranking Republican member of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee. Assembly Speaker Joe Roberts (D) will retain his Speakership, backed up by current Majority Leader Bonnie Watson Coleman. Minority Leader Alex DeCroce (R) is expected to retain his Assembly Minority Leader position. We will keep you apprised as to the final decisions on leadership. With a few notable exceptions, all incumbent legislators defeated their general election challengers. The following is a breakdown of the election results from the targeted districts – which are usually the most publicized, contentious and expensive campaigns in the State: District 1 (Atlantic/Cape May/Cumberland) – This split district has now gone to the Democrats with the election of incumbent Assemblyman Jeff Van Drew (D), who defeated incumbent Senator Nick Asselta (R) for the Senate seat by a 56-44 percent margin.

Our scorecard rates each member of the New Jersey Senate and Assembly on their conservation record and actions taken to protect the environment in the Garden State. It does this by tracking how New Jersey’s 40 senators and 80 Assembly members voted on key legislation affecting air and water quality, open space, and the fight against climate change. As “the political voice for the environment,” New Jersey LCV uses its resources to elect environmental champions and support them in office while helping to defeat candidates and officeholders whose legislative priorities do not include air, water, and land protections. We empower legislators by providing background information before key environmental votes, and we hold legislators accountable for their positions and actions related to our environment.

  • Introduction Lobbying and Advocacy
    Introduction This Legislative Handbook is designed to provide guidance and assistance to representatives of the New Jersey Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies, Inc. (NJAMHAA) member organizations who participate in legislative activities. Specifically, the Legislative Handbook presents the Association’s legislative policy and procedures, simplifies the complexities of the legislative process, and provides an orientation to grassroots lobbying for all members. On behalf of its members, NJAMHAA meets with legislators, policy makers and business leaders in order to influence legislative, regulatory and funding decisions in ways that have the most positive outcome on its members. Through increased visibility and a stronger presence, NJAMHAA ensures that members’ concerns are expressed and that their interests are represented. This allows members the peace of mind of knowing that legislative or regulatory changes that are made will occur with their views expressed. NJAMHAA is committed to facilitating meaningful exchange both within the Association and with other industry stakeholders to achieve mutual advocacy. While NJAMHAA aggressively lobbies state and federal legislators on behalf of its members, these lawmakers need to hear from you, their local constituents, those who elect them. The louder and stronger the voice, the more impact that it has on all who hear it. Please use and refer back to this valuable resource to familiarize yourself with legislative advocacy procedures and to contact key legislators to collectively join other NJAMHAA members in advancing the cause for an improved community behavioral health system. Lobbying and Advocacy Oftentimes, the words “lobbying” and “advocacy” are used interchangeably. The legal definition of lobbying usually involves attempting to influence legislation.
