ERG's Pennsylvania Pre-Election Assessment 2020 U.S. House Of
PO Box 1205 Harrisburg, PA 17108 O: 717-233-8606 F: 717-798-3159 [email protected] www.erg-partners.com October 28, 2020 ERG’s Pennsylvania Pre-election Assessment 2020 The Presidential election has seen both camps in and out of Pennsylvania regularly, as the Trump camp sees the state as one of a half-dozen critical states as keys to an electoral college victory, and former VP Biden’s camp wants to win one or two of those six outright to forestall a lengthy battle in the courts. Strategies differ, with the Democrats focusing on early voting in those states, and Republicans looking at more traditional get out the vote programs. One national poll earlier this week suggested that 86% of Republicans plan to vote on Election Day. That means election night when you just count the results from the day’s voting, Trump may well lead in Pennsylvania, but given the rules of mail-in voting and counting, a week later, Biden may well be the winner. President Trump won Pennsylvania by just 44,000 votes in 2016, and Republicans have reduced their voter registration deficit by almost 250,000 voters in the last four years. Polls in Pennsylvania have been shoing Biden with a 5-9 percent lead among registered voters and 4-6% among likely voters. One observation: compared to 2016, Biden’s polling is slightly better than Clinton’s; the continuing daily COVID-19 message is not helping Trump; the Biden team is much better organized than Clinton’s was in 2016; and early voting has brought in four times as many Democratic and “other” votes than Republican votes in the last two weeks.

Senate Leaders • Sen
The Pennsylvania House and Senate announced their 2019-2020 committee leaders. Why should I care? Committee leaders are influential members of the Pa. General Assembly. Strong relationships between them, PAMED, and physician members are key. Here are the announced committee leaders. While it may seem like some of them have nothing to do with the practice of medicine, all chairs are included because history has shown that legislation that affects physicians can get assigned to a seemingly unrelated committee due to the bill’s contents. Therefore, it’s good for physicians to be aware of all committee leaders in the Pa. General Assembly. Senate Leaders • Sen. Joe Scarnati (Jefferson) – President Pro Tempore • Sen. Jake Corman (Centre) – Majority Leader • Sen. Patrick Browne (Lehigh) – Appropriations Chairman • Sen. John Gordner (Columbia) – Majority Whip • Sen. Bob Mensch (Montgomery) – Caucus Chair • Sen.

Recently, the Independent Fiscal Office released a report on the projected revenue impact of COVID-19 on state General Fund revenues, and it is dire. During the current 2019-2020 fiscal year, the IFO estimated the General Fund would lose $3.9 billion due to COVID-19, including $2.1 billion that would be shifted to the next fiscal year and a $1.8 billion permanent revenue loss from a contraction of economic activity. We should do absolutely everything we can to raise revenue. That is why we come together as a committed group of Pennsylvania Senators to urge our leaders to take up the bi-partisan issue of adult-use cannabis legalization. For starters, cannabis legalization is immensely popular. Polls show that nearly two-thirds of likely voters in the Commonwealth support the sale of adult-us cannabis. It is popular in every region of Pennsylvania. It is popular among Democrats and Republicans, men and women, every age group, and every ideology. Not only is it popular, but it will help raise desperately needed revenue to support Pennsylvanians.

December 2018 Issue
DECEMBER 2018 NEWS Government Affairs Midterm Election Results: Split Decision Nationally and Good Night for PA Democrats in State Races The midterm election results were a mixed bag of results nationally for both parties. The Democrats took control of the House Representatives, while the Republicans maintained control of the Senate. After a cursory look at the federal election results in Pennsylvania and nationwide, it looks like the blue wave did materialize like some had predicted. Nationally, the Democrats gained a little better than the historic average of 28 seats for the party out of power during a presidential mid-term election. The Democrats in Pennsylvania took advantage of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court-drawn congressional map and congressional retirements to flip seats in the Southeast. The breakdown of the PA Congressional Delegation prior to last night was 13-5 in favor of the Republicans; after last night, the PA Congressional Delegation breakdown will be 9-9 between Democrats and Republicans. In the Senate, Incumbent Senator Bob Casey had an easy time dispatching his challenger Lou Barletta. Nationally, the Republicans held control of the Senate and added 3 to 4 seats to their majority. The Senate still has races that are “too close to call” in Montana and Arizona, and in Mississippi there will be a run-off election on November 27, because no one received more than 50% of the vote. Turning back to Pennsylvania, Governor Tom Wolf defeated his opponent Scott Wagner by a 17% point margin, ensuring him 4 more years in the Governor’s mansion.

Letter This Week to the Congressional Delegation
April 20, 2020 Dear Members of the Pennsylvania Congressional Delegation, During this time of uncertainty and disaster, small businesses have been devastated by the ripple effects of stay-at-home orders and social distancing policies. Barbers, corner store operators and mom-and-pop restaurateurs in our communities operate on thin margins in good times, and now find themselves unable to meet the financial obligations of both their businesses and families. Congress also acted swiftly to come to the rescue of small business, enacting the CARES Act and authorizing new programs designed to allow owners to continue making payroll and meet other operating financial obligations without bureaucratic delay. However, we write to you as our Pennsylvania Congressional delegation with concerns that federal programs meant to support these small businesses in their greatest time of need are not reaching a significant portion of small businesses in our communities. Now that the initial round of funding for these programs has run out and a second authorization is coming to a vote, it is critical that any future authorization include clear prohibitions against regulatory restrictions which discriminate against a large proportion of minority business owners, include mechanisms for businesses without existing banking relationships to access funds, and accommodate for non-payroll expenses in high cost-of-living areas. Regulatory restrictions placed on the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) bar applications from business owners with criminal histories. These restrictions against lending were not in the CARES Act and do not reflect the historic bipartisan effort currently underway toward criminal justice reform.
