  • Potential Committee Vacancies in the 117Th Congress Last Updated November 25, 2020
    Potential Committee Vacancies in the 117th Congress Last updated November 25, 2020 Congressional committees are a critical part of the legislative process. Committees serve as gatekeepers for legislation, considering and amending bills before they reach the floor. Hearings and investigations shape policy debates and provide critical oversight. At the beginning of each Congress, Members receive their committee assignments. Members pursue membership on committees that align with their interests and priorities, and their assignments are determined by the Democratic Caucus and the Republican Conference - with heavy influence from party leadership and steering committees​.1 When determining committee assignments, the parties weigh member preferences along with seniority, regional balance, and balance among ideological and identity caucuses.2 Committee vacancies present opportunities for returning members to gain spots on new committees and for incoming freshmen to get their initial assignments. Vacancies for committee chairs and ranking members can have major policy implications because those leaders shape committees’ priorities. Committee vacancies may occur due to a preexisting vacancy or because a previous member retired, ran for another office, or lost reelection​. On the Democratic side, Members can receive waivers that allow them to serve on additional committees beyond the caps in Democratic Caucus rules.3 While returning members usually have the option to remain on their previous committees (except for committees with term limits4), ​a returning Democratic committee member using a waiver is not guaranteed the option to keep the committee slot.​ The Democratic Caucus uses waivers to distribute remaining committee slots after all members, including incoming freshmen, have hit their caps. The actual number of vacancies going into the 117th Congress depends on the final partisan composition of the House, which is reflected in the committee ratios negotiated by Democratic and Republican leaders.

  • 2018 Post-General Election Update
    2018 post-general election update November 7, 2018 On Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Ohioans cast ballots in the 2018 general election. For the first time since 2006, five statewide elected offices were up for election without an incumbent running in the 2018 general election. Federal offices, including all Ohio U.S. Representatives seats and one U.S. Senate seat, two Ohio Supreme Court seats, all seats in the Ohio House of Representatives and 17 Ohio Senate seats were on the ballot. Many counties in Ohio and around the country reported record- breaking early voter turnout. Nearly 1.5 million ballots were requested by mail and in person, and an estimated 1.3 million had been cast as of the close of early voting on November 5, 2018. Here is Bricker & Eckler’s overview of the 2018 general election results and details on races of particular interest. STATEWIDE BALLOT ISSUES Issue 1: This proposed constitutional amendment was filed as the “Neighborhood Safety, Drug Treatment, and Rehabilitation Amendment.” If adopted, the amendment would have, among other things, required reductions in sentencing in certain situations, mandated that certain criminal offenses or uses of any drugs, such as fentanyl and heroin, can only be classified as a misdemeanor, and prohibited jail time as a sentence for obtaining, possessing or using such drugs until an individual’s third offense within 24 months. Issue 1 was defeated by 63.41 percent. The Ohio Safe and Healthy Communities Campaign led the way in support of the proposed constitutional amendment. Supporters of Issue 1 were financially supported by Open Society Policy Center, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Open Philanthropy Project Action Fund.

  • Coalition of Geospatial Organizations (COGO)
    June 25, 2021 The Honorable Jim Inhofe, Ranking Member U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services 228 Russell Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Ranking Member Inhofe, The Coalition of Geospatial Organizations (COGO) is a coalition of 13 national professional societies, trade associations, and membership organizations in the geospatial field, representing more than 170,000 individual producers and users of geospatial data and technology. COGO only communicates on policy matters when there is complete unanimity among all organizations. We are writing to you to express our collective support for your recently introduced legislation, S.2166, entitled “RETAIN GPS and Satellite Communications Act”. The legislation addresses many of the concerns our coalition has about the Ligado Networks’ proposal and the interference it would cause to GPS and GNSS data acquisition, processing and use. Unbiased testing has repeatedly confirmed that implementation of their proposal would surely undermine many of the uses of that data which have come to be anticipated, even essential, among the public and within the geospatial profession that provides services to it. We were particularly pleased to note that S.2166 includes an understanding on Reimbursable Costs, that the Ligado Networks’ proposal will likely result in significant costs that must be reimbursed to individuals and private sector businesses if their proposal moves forward. Sincerely, Christine Stinchcomb Chair, Coalition of Geospatial Organizations COGO Organizations: American Association for

  • Oklahoma's Elected Officials
    Oklahoma’s Elected Officials The Oklahoma State Senate There are 48 members in the Oklahoma State Senate. By law, the Lieutenant Governor is president of the Senate, but the role is limited to presiding over special sessions and casting the deciding vote in case of a tie. The law also provides that the Senate will elect a President Pro Tempore, while the House of Representatives elects a Speaker of the House. State senators serve staggered four-year terms. Senators in odd-numbered districts were elected in 2012. Those in even-numbered districts will be elected in 2014. Legislators are paid $38,400 annually, along with certain necessary expenses. The President Pro Tempore of the State Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives are paid an additional $17,932 annually, and the majority floor leaders and the minority floor leaders of each House are paid an additional $12,364 per year. The Senate occupies the third, fourth and fifth floors on the east side of the rotunda in the state Capitol. Joint sessions are held in the House Chambers. The Senate Chambers are located on the fourth floor, with the visitors' gallery on the fifth floor. President Pro Tempore Senator Brian Bingman District 12 Bingman was born on December 9, 1953, in Tulsa, OK. He received a BBA in Petroleum Land Management from the University of Oklahoma in 1976.

  • In Victory Speech, Dewine Calls for Ohioans to Unite to Solve Problems
    Vol. 132 - No. 466 Tuesday, November 6, 2018 In Victory Speech, DeWine Calls For Ohioans to Unite to Solve Problems The people of Ohio need to work together to address the state's issues regardless of party affiliation, Gov.-elect Mike DeWine said following his victory over Democrat Richard Cordray Tuesday night. "As we begin this journey tonight, we must work not as Democrats, not as Republicans, but as Ohioans," DeWine told supporters at the Ohio Republican Party's election night party in Columbus. "Ohioans should unite around a shared mission to ensure that every single person in this state - every child, no matter where they're born, no matter who their parents are, no matter what their circumstances -- has the opportunity to live up to their God-given potential. ... "As governor, it will be my responsibility, and a responsibility that I take very seriously, to pull people together -- Democrats, Republicans and Independents -- for our common cause, because Ohio's challenges ... are not solvable just by one party," DeWine continued. "Our fundamental beliefs and core values as Ohioans, what we share together truly transcends party politics." DeWine, the current attorney general, ended up winning the governor's race with 50.66 percent of the vote, beating Cordray's 46.44 percent, according to unofficial results. Libertarian Party candidate Travis Irvine finished with 1.79 percent, while Green Party candidate Constance Gadell-Newton received 1.1 percent. DeWine said his next administration will work to improve the state's schools, address drug addiction and create jobs. "Come with us as we make Ohio's schools the best in the nation.
