November 24, 2020 President Donald J
November 24, 2020 President Donald J. Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: We write to once again convey the urgent need for federal resources in New Jersey to improve testing capacity. The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) continues to reach record highs; case rates in November are surpassing even our highest rates from the spring. On November 23, New Jersey reported 3,592 new COVID-19 cases and 11 new deaths. State- wide case totals are over 300,000 and confirmed deaths will soon surpass 15,000 people. New Jersey’s hospitals are also experiencing record admissions. On November 23, 2,785 hospital beds were filled with COVID-19 patients; 522 of those patients were in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU); and 265 of those in the ICU are currently breathing via a ventilator. We commend New Jersey for taking swift action to address this latest surge. The state has more than 2,300 contact tracers working to help mitigate the spread of infection. Governor Murphy has also signed an Executive Order limiting indoor gatherings to 10 people, requiring masks indoors, issuing travel restrictions, and urging social distancing. Despite the state’s best efforts, the positivity rate for COVID-19 testing currently averages about 10 percent. As you know, experts suggest anything over a five percent positive testing rate requires urgent containment and mitigation efforts. However, containment and mitigation efforts rely on sufficient testing capacity to ensure that cases are being quickly identified and New Jersey is once again facing extended lines at testing locations and turn-around times for results becoming longer by the day.

Andy Kim Touted Himself As President Obama's “Point Man”
HIT: Andy Kim touted himself as President Obama’s “point man” on Iraq issues at the White House. While working for the Obama administration, he attended meetings with terrorists including one of the leaders responsible for an attack at the US Embassy in Baghdad, and a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood. BACKUP: Kim joined the State Department in 2009 as an Iraq expert: • Kim joined the State Department in 2009 as an Iraq expert. “Kim joined the Obama administration in September 2009 as an Iraq expert at the State Department. In 2011, he spent five months in Kabul in a civilian role advising two commanders of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, first Gen. David H. Petraeus and then Gen. John Allen.” (Salvador Rizzo, “Obama adviser running for Congress claims he also worked for Bush,” Washington Post, 9/10/18) Kim was the Iraq Director on Obama’s National Security Council from 2013 until leaving the administration in August 2015: • Kim was the Iraq Director on Obama’s National Security Council from 2013 until leaving the administration in August 2015. “Kim was director for Iraq issues at the Pentagon for five months in 2013 and then was Iraq director on Obama’s National Security Council for two years until leaving the administration in August 2015.” (Salvador Rizzo, “Obama adviser running for Congress claims he also worked for Bush,” Washington Post, 9/10/18) Kim was Obama’s “point man” on Iraq issues while serving in the National Security Council, a credential he has boasted about on the campaign trail: • The Flat Hat: “Kim served at the White House between 2013 and 2015 as Director of Iraq, where he was responsible for managing the crisis response across the Administration and developing strategy.” (Emily Martell, “Andrew Kim Discusses ISIS, Future Of Conflict In Iraq,” The Flat Hat, 11/10/16) • Kim noted he was the Obama Administration’s point man in 2014 as ISIS was gaining ground in Iraq.

Asian Americans in the Running: Andy Kim
Published on Hyphen Magazine (https://hyphenmagazine.com) Home > Asian Americans in the Running: Andy Kim Asian Americans in the Running: Andy Kim Franny Choi - November 2, 2018 Andy Kim is drawing on his South Jersey roots to appeal to voters, as his opponent Tom MacArthur faces ongoing criticism for his votes on health care and tax reform. (Photo courtesy of andykimforcongress.com.) In the lead-up to the midterm elections, Hyphen is profiling a handful of Asian American candidates in key races. Be sure to catch up on our coverage of Texas's Gina Ortiz Jones [1] and Arizona's Anita Malik [2]. KEY PLATFORM STANCES: Reform taxes to give permanent cuts to the middle class Expand affordable health care, including protections for people with preexisting conditions Hold monthly town hall meetings New Jersey’s 3rd District is home to the Trump administration’s biggest ally in the state’s congressional delegation: Representative Tom MacArthur. MacArthur, who won his district by a 20-point landslide in the last election [3], worked with President Trump both to try to repeal the Affordable Care Act and to pass the GOP tax bill. Now, the Republican incumbent’s track record on those issues may cost him his House seat — and Andy Kim, a former White House national security advisor, seems prepared to take his place. Kim is running for elected office for the first time, but he’s no stranger to national politics. He served as both a strategic advisor to General Petraeus in Afghanistan and as a counterterrorism advisor in the White House under President Obama.

April 10, 2020 the Honorable Philip D. Murphy
April 10, 2020 The Honorable Philip D. Murphy Governor of the State of New Jersey Office of the Governor Trenton, NJ 08625 Dear Governor Murphy: We write to request critically needed funding for Warren, Sussex, Hunterdon, and Salem Counties that was appropriated to New Jersey through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. As you are aware, these counties, and their respective municipalities, did not receive federal funding through Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) set forth in the CARES Act utilizing long-standing, unchangeable, and automatic formulas. These formulas were set into place under the Administration of President Gerald R. Ford, in 1974 and 1977. Warren and Sussex Counties, along with Hunterdon and Salem Counties, did not meet any of the three criteria of these automatic, predetermined federal formulas: 1) counties with at least 500,000 people; 2) cities with populations more than 50,000; or 3) “principal cities,” which is a Census formula designation. That said, beyond the set formulas which are out of our control, the State of New Jersey also received certain non-entitlement funding through the CDBG (more than $4 million) and ESG (more than $11 million) programs that you can allocate based on discretionary need throughout the State, particularly to help struggling municipalities that did not receive enough relief. We believe these counties meet that requirement and ask that you please immediately allocate the discretionary funding to these localities. These four counties remain in the so-called “hot” region of the outbreak in our State and need this critical funding to get through the challenging next weeks and months.

TO: Interested Parties FR: Dan Sena, DCCC Executive Director DT: April 3, 2018 RE: Take It Back: Democrats Have Clear Advantage in New District Polls
TO: Interested Parties FR: Dan Sena, DCCC Executive Director DT: April 3, 2018 RE: Take it Back: Democrats Have Clear Advantage in New District Polls It’s game time. Month by month, week by week, primaries will produce battle-tested and uniquely qualified Democratic candidates. And vulnerable House Republicans will be forced to face reality: According to a sample of newly released polling data from a wide variety of districts, Democrats are poised to take back the House. Since the start of the cycle, the grassroots backlash against the Republican agenda has been fierce. Each day since, President Trump and Speaker Ryan’s Congress have given voters motivation to organize, fight, and win. Voters are fighting to take back respect, stability, affordable healthcare, economic security, and a safe and stable future for both their parents and their children. While motivations vary, the American people will keep marching, protesting and ultimately voting to take back the House. The DCCC has built the largest battlefield in modern history – over 100 districts and counting. We invested in the grassroots, local organizers, and robust voter contact earlier than ever before. Most importantly, we recruited and empowered Democratic candidates who fit their districts and have records of service to their communities and our country that resonate with voters. These Democrats are running deep into the battlefield, and their candidacies are breathing new energy into the party. These Democrats’ strength as campaigners matches their inspiring work and life stories. They’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with key progressive groups to sharpen the backlash against Republicans for their destructive agenda, particularly the healthcare repeal effort and tax scam that benefits the rich and big corporations instead of middle class Americans.

Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515
Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 January 27, 2021 Honorable Janet Yellen Secretary U.S. Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. 20220 Dear Secretary Yellen: Congratulations on your swift confirmation by the Senate. To help American families and businesses weather the brutal hardships imposed by the continuing pandemic, it is essential for Treasury and Congress to work hand-in-hand. Only close collaboration can deliver needed support for our States and citizens so we can “Build Back Better.” To commence that work, we write you today to urge you to support the immediate repeal of the State and Local Tax (SALT) Deduction cap put in place by the disastrous 2017 partisan tax hike bill. As you know, the SALT deduction has historically strengthened state and local government functions, including public health programs, safety nets for low-income residents, and emergency response services. During your confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee on January 19, 2021, you rightly acknowledged the burden on the shoulders of our states and the need to help to keep essential frontline public workers on the job.1 Unfortunately, according to the December 2020 Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation Report, government employment overall is down by 1.3 million jobs since February 2020 when the pandemic exploded.2 The data shows that these layoffs are unfortunately concentrated most among those who educate our children, protect our cities and towns, and keep our communities clean. While New Jersey has done herculean work to prevent job losses in these critical services, our state has borne the brunt of the pandemic by cutting the government workforce by 4.8% from November 2019 to November 2020.3 These workers serve essential roles, and their job losses are further holding back our recovery.

Governor’s Office Briefing Calls for Mayors Municipal Clerks: Please forward to your Mayor, Governing Body and Department Heads. To assist in providing guidance and information we have created a COVID-19 resource page. We will continue to update the page as we get pertinent information and include announcements in our Daily Updates. ****************************************************************************************************** I. Washington Needs to Recognize Municipal Efforts At this time–and it could change in a heartbeat–it seems that aid to New Jersey municipalities will not be included in the compromise legislation being negotiated in Washington. There appears to be strong opposition coming from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and from the White House for that, at this time. Both Senator McConnell and U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin have indicated a willingness to further consider the plight of state and local governments, in future legislation. We need to continue to push for passage of the Coronavirus Community Relief Act (the CCRA - H.R.6467) and its U.S. Senate companion, which awaits formal introduction. Currently on record sponsoring and supporting the CCRA are Senator Booker and House Members Malinowski, Gottheimer, Sherrill, Sires, Van Drew, and Watson Coleman. Please contact your Congressman, if not yet a cosponsor, and urge him to get on board by cosponsoring the CCRA. New Jersey Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr., along with Florida Congressman John Rutherford, is spearheading another effort to secure relief for our State and its local governments.
