  • 5 Takeaways from Bipartisan Buyamerican.Gov Bill by Justin Ganderson, Sandy Hoe and Jeff Bozman (January 25, 2018, 12:59 PM EST)
    Portfolio Media. Inc. | 111 West 19th Street, 5th Floor | New York, NY 10011 | www.law360.com Phone: +1 646 783 7100 | Fax: +1 646 783 7161 | [email protected] 5 Takeaways From Bipartisan BuyAmerican.gov Bill By Justin Ganderson, Sandy Hoe and Jeff Bozman (January 25, 2018, 12:59 PM EST) On Jan. 9, 2018, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Ct., proudly announced via Twitter that there now is “bipartisan support for strengthening our Buy American laws” and that he is “excited to have the Trump admin[istration] and partners like [Sens. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio] working together to get this done.”[1] That same day, these senators reached across the aisle to sponsor the BuyAmerican.gov Act of 2018 (S.2284) to “strengthen Buy American requirements.”[2] This proposed legislation may be the most significant “Buy American” development since President Donald Trump issued his April 2017 “Buy American” executive order Justin Ganderson (E.O. 13788), which set forth a policy and action plan to “maximize ... the use of goods, products and materials produced in the United States” through federal procurements and federal financial assistance awards to “support the American manufacturing and defense industrial bases.”[3] At its heart, the bill would formally recognize President Trump’s “Buy American” policy, require certain reporting and assessments, and limit the use of waivers/exceptions. And even if the bill ultimately is not signed into law, this bipartisan effort suggests that some form of “Buy American” action looms on the horizon. Key Components of the Proposed BuyAmerican.gov Act of 2018 Sandy Hoe Borrowing heavily from President Trump’s “Buy American” executive order, the bipartisan BuyAmerican.gov Act of 2018 aims to “strengthen Buy American requirements” in any domestic preference law, regulation, rule or executive order relating to federal contracts or grants, including: the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C.

  • Ranking Member John Barrasso
    Senate Committee Musical Chairs August 15, 2018 Key Retiring Committee Seniority over Sitting Chair/Ranking Member Viewed as Seat Republicans Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Republican Seat Viewed as Republican Seat at Risk Viewed as Seat Democrats Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Democratic Seat Viewed as Democratic Seat at Risk Notes • The Senate Republican leader is not term-limited; Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will likely remain majority leader. The only member of Senate GOP leadership who is currently term-limited is Republican Whip John Cornyn (R-TX). • Republicans have term limits of six years as chairman and six years as ranking member. Republican members can only use seniority to bump sitting chairs/ranking members when the control of the Senate switches parties. • Committee leadership for the Senate Aging; Agriculture; Appropriations; Banking; Environment and Public Works (EPW); Health Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP); Indian Affairs; Intelligence; Rules; and Veterans Affairs Committees are unlikely to change. Notes • Current Armed Services Committee (SASC) Chairman John McCain (R-AZ) continues to receive treatment for brain cancer in Arizona. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) has served as acting chairman and is likely to continue to do so in Senator McCain’s absence. If Republicans lose control of the Senate, Senator McCain would lose his top spot on the committee because he already has six years as ranking member. • In the unlikely scenario that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) does not take over the Finance Committee, Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), who currently serves as Chairman of the Banking Committee, could take over the Finance Committee.

  • 2018 Primary Election Results Analysis OAEPS | Baldwin Wallace
    ANOTHER “YEAR OF THE WOMAN?” WOMEN RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE IN OHIO IN THE 2018 MIDTERM ELECTIONS BARBARA PALMER Professor of Political Science Department of Politics and Global Citizenship Executive Director & Creator, Center for Women & Politics of Ohio Baldwin Wallace University Berea, OH [email protected] Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Ohio Association of Economists and Political Scientists, Capitol University, Columbus OH, September, 2018 1 ANOTHER “YEAR OF THE WOMAN?” WOMEN RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE IN OHIO IN THE 2018 MIDTERM ELECTIONS1 The 2018 midterm election has been commonly referred to as another “Year of the Woman.” There is already a great deal of evidence that this election cycle will be a record year for female candidates. For example, in Georgia, Stacey Abrams defeated another woman, Stacey Evans, to win the Democratic primary for governor; Abrams is the first African American woman to ever be a major-party nominee for governor in US history. In addition, a record number of women have filed to run for US House (“2018 Summary”). Women are opening their pocket books in record numbers: in 2014, the last midterm election, 198,000 women contributed $200 or more to a federal campaign or political action committee. By July of 2018, three months before the midterm election, 329,000 women had contributed, and they were contributing to female candidates (Bump, 2018). As one political commentator explained, “As the midterms near, there are signs that an energized base of women will play a significant — and probably defining — role in the outcome” (Bump, 2018). This paper will explore the trends in women running for public office in Ohio; more specifically, are we seeing an increase in the number of women running for US Congress, state legislature, governor and other state-wide offices? In 1992, the original “Year of the Woman,” we saw a spike in the number of female candidates across the nation at the state and national level.

For FY 2021, these programs were funded at $102 million and $2.5 million. In the midst of the devastating drug overdose epidemic, the DFC Program warrants the highest possible funding level because it has proven effective in reducing youth substance use. According to independent research in communities where DFC coalitions exist, rates of past thirty-day use among middle school students for alcohol, tobacco and marijuana declined by twelve, thirty-six, and eight percent, respectively. Among high school students, rates for alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and prescription drugs declined by mtenty-four, thirty-nine, seven, and thirty percent, respectively. (ICF International, National Evaluation of the Drug-Free Communities Support Program, March 2021 Report) DFC coalitions exist in 733 communities across the nation and provide support to 2.4 million middle school students and 3.4 million high school students. TI1e program requires a community to demonstrate local commitment before it is eligible to receive federal funds, which means that at least twelve sectors within the community must come together to plan and implement evidence-based programs that will meet the community's unique needs in reducing drug use.

    The Honorable U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown The Honorable U.S. Senator Rob Portman 713 Hart Senate Office Bldg. 448 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Senators Brown and Portman: We are writing to urge the U.S. Senate to include language in the next COVID relief package that would extend the statutory reporting deadlines for the 2020 Census by four months and provide the necessary funding to ensure a complete and accurate count. As you know, the process for an accurate and complete 2020 Census has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The U.S. Census Bureau (USCB) suspended field activities and postponed key operations putting it significantly behind schedule. These very serious challenges prompted career professionals at the USCB and the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to request that Congress extend the reporting deadlines. This extension is critical for USCB to deliver reliable, accurate, and complete apportionment and redistricting data to the Congress and states. In 2017, Ohio receives an estimated $56 billion in federal funds tied to census data.1 The financial impact of a significant undercount could be catastrophic to things such as transportation funding, community development block grant funding, and critical human service programs that protect children – such as SCHIP, Medicaid, and Head Start. Additionally, a significant undercount in the 2020 Census combined with Ohio's slow population growth relative to other states, will further reduce Ohio’s influence in Congress. Without a complete count, we cannot ensure that Ohioans are afforded their constitutionally guaranteed promise of adequate political representation through the subsequent redistricting cycle following the census.

    For Immediate Release Contact: Rob Damschen [email protected] R&D COALITION APPLAUDS INTRODUCTION OF BIPARTISAN SENATE BILL REPEALING HARMFUL R&D TAX CHANGE Washington, D.C. – March 16, 2021: The R&D Coalition today praised the introduction of S. 749, the American Innovation and Jobs Act by Senators Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Todd Young (R-IN), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Rob Portman (R-OH) and Ben Sasse (R-NE). The bill would repeal a coming tax change that would hurt the ability of companies to do research and development. Beginning in 2022, businesses in the U.S. will no longer be able to immediately deduct their R&D expenses and will instead be required to deduct or amortize these expenses over several years. The U.S. would stand out as one of only two developed countries with such a policy. The bipartisan legislation introduced by Senators Hassan, Young, Cortez Masto, Portman and Sasse would ensure that this does not occur, encouraging continued innovation in the U.S. "R&D investments in the U.S. spur innovation and are critical to our economy and millions of American jobs. For 67 years, our tax code has long recognized this and created a favorable environment for R&D investment in the U.S. by allowing U.S. companies to immediately deduct their R&D expenses," said Intel's Chief Tax Officer Sharon Heck, who chairs the R&D Coalition. "We applaud the bipartisan leadership of Senators Hassan, Young, Cortez Masto, Portman and Sasse for introducing legislation that would help encourage companies to invest and innovate in the U.S." -R&D Coalition- The R&D Coalition is a partnership among small, medium and large American companies and business associations from all 50 states committed to advancing public policies that encourage investment in U.S.-based research and innovation.
