  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

  • Weekend Voting in Lousiana Adds Three More Republican Victories in Congress – Lame Duck Session Continues
    WEEKEND VOTING IN LOUSIANA ADDS THREE MORE REPUBLICAN VICTORIES IN CONGRESS – LAME DUCK SESSION CONTINUES DECEMBER 8, 2014 With the results of the final Senate election of 2014 now official, there will be further changes ahead for the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources in the 114th Congress. Due to the re-election loss of Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) on Saturday, December 6th, Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) will become Ranking Member of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee in the new Congress. Louisiana Senator-elect, current Congressman Bill Cassidy (R), has received a commitment that he will be able to serve on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee next year. In related developments, Senator David Vitter (R-LA) will chair the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee in January. The Senate composition for the 114th Congress now stands at 54 Republicans, 44 Democrats and 2 Independents. We continue to expect Senate committee leadership rosters and committee membership to be officially announced in January. Saturday’s run-off elections in Louisiana also resulted in two additional Republican victories in the House of Representatives. Congressman-elect Garrett Graves (6th District) won the seat vacated by Senator- elect Cassidy, and Congressman-elect Ralph Abraham (5th District) won the seat currently held by Congressman Vance McAllister (R). Congressman-elect Graves is expected to serve on the Natural Resources Committee and the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Congressman-elect Abraham is expected to serve on the Agriculture Committee and the Veterans Affairs Committee. The House composition for the 114th Congress stands at 246 Republicans and 188 Democrats, with one election still contested (AZ-2nd).

  • 114TH CONGRESS / Second Session Available at Frcaction.Org/Scorecard
    VOTE SCORECARD 114TH CONGRESS / Second Session Available at FRCAction.org/scorecard U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate Dear Voter and Friend of the Family, FRC Action presents our Vote Scorecard for 2016, the Second Session of the 114th Congress. This online Score- card contains a compilation of significant votes on federal legislation affecting family values that FRC Action either supported or opposed. These recorded votes span votes thus far in the 2016 calendar year but may contain additional votes that occur before the end of the year. The year began by handling unfinished business of addressing Planned Parenthood’s organ harvesting practices revealed in undercover videos. Congress failed to fully defund Planned Parenthood but late in 2015 passed a budget reconciliation bill, the Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act, which would have eliminated a significant portion of Planned Parenthood’s funding—roughly 80%— and repealed key provisions of Obamacare. The House in January, 2016 passed the new version and sent to the President who vetoed the measure. The House failed to override the veto. Passage of this bill showed a way forward to substantially repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood with a future pro-life President. With demo- crat obstructionism of spending bills and the shortened spring and summer congressional sessions due to July conventions, only one other pro-life bill received a vote in the House, when it successfully passed the Conscience Protection Act. This bill would codify and provide a right of action under current conscience laws that already bar government discrimination against pro-life entities.

The ceremony took place at the Louisiana Supreme Court’s courtroom at 400 Royal Street in New Orleans. The event was free and open to the public, with the option of one hour of CLE accreditation for Louisiana attorneys. Justice Greg G. Guidry chaired the Court’s Bicentennial Committee, which was in charge of planning the ceremony. Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Jay Dardenne was the master of ceremonies. After Lieutenant Governor Dardenne’s opening address, the Washington Artillery presented the colors, which was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, led by Donna D. Fraiche, President of the Supreme Court of Louisiana Historical Society. Bishop Shelton J. Fabre gave the invocation, and Chief Justice Bernette J. Johnson delivered welcoming remarks to the attendees.
