KEMP ACCEPTS POSITION at WINNER & MANDABACH After eight years as a senior leader in the School of Public Policy, Assistant Dean Jonathan T. Kemp accepted an opportunity as vice president at Winner & Mandabach Campaigns, a political consult- ing firm based in Santa Monica, California, that specializes in ballot measure campaigns nationwide. Kemp began his career in the School of Public Policy in 1999 as director of the Davenport Institute where he helped to raise significant funding to support a number of research fellows and to stage 20 major conferences, lectures, and research publica- tions for business leaders and the policy community. Notable projects included an ongoing series of studies on California urban renewal, the annual conferences on “Faith and Public Policy,” a U.S. Congressional Retreat, significant funding for scholarships and student internships, and similar activities. He has been a key leader in helping to transform the school from a start-up operation to a program that increasingly receives national recognition. Kemp will remain involved with the School of Public Policy in a formal consulting role and thereby continue to work developing the Jack F. Kemp Institute for Political Economy. He has also accepted a position on the School of Public Policy’s Board of Visitors fur- thering his involvement. The School of Public Policy wishes Kemp and his family the very best as he undertakes this new chapter in his life. School of Public Policy Dean’s Report ... 2 ...

  • Pro-Life Law Professor Stunned by Priest's Refusal of Communion
    Pro-life law professor stunned by priest’s refusal of Communion WASHINGTON – For Pepperdine law professor Douglas Kmiec, a constitutional lawyer who often writes on religion in the public square, the situation had uncomfortable echoes of the last presidential election cycle – a priest was refusing to give Communion to someone on the basis of the man’s support of a candidate. This time, though, the surprised Massgoer turned away by a priest was Prof. Kmiec himself. The former dean of the law school at The Catholic University of America in Washington is an architect of the Reagan administration’s stance against abortion whose pro-life credentials include serving as keynote speaker at the March for Life’s annual Rose Dinner a few years ago. When the priest upbraided the law professor from the pulpit for his endorsement of presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and then refused to give him Communion, Prof. Kmiec was stunned, he told Catholic News Service June 4 in a telephone interview. (Since 2002 Prof. Kmiec has been a columnist for CNS.) The incident occurred at a Mass preceding the meeting of a Catholic business group in California at which Prof. Kmiec was the featured speaker. Sen. Obama, now the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, has voted to support legal abortion and opposed legislation that would restrict abortion. In endorsing him, Prof. Kmiec has explained that he was drawn to Sen. Obama’s “remarkable ‘love thy neighbor’ style of campaigning, his express aim to transcend partisan divide, and specifically, his appreciation for faith.” At the event, Prof.

    How America Decides. By: Sullivan, Amy, Time South Pacific (Australia/New Zealand edition), 08180628, 7/14/2008, Issue 27 Database: Business Source Premier Section: CAMPAIGN '08 Catholic Voters in 2008. With the economy and Iraq topping voter concerns, abortion has receded into the political background. That puts Catholics up for grabs--and Obama is winning some converts Douglas Kmiec is the kind of Catholic voter the GOP usually doesn't have to think twice about. The Pepperdine law professor and former Reagan Justice Department lawyer (Samuel Alito was an office mate) attends Mass each morning. He has actively opposed abortion for most of his adult life, working with crisis pregnancy centers to persuade women not to undergo the procedure. He is a member of the conservative Federalist Society and occasionally sends a contribution to Focus on the Family. He is also a vocal supporter of Barack Obama. Kmiec made waves in the Catholic world in late March when he endorsed the Democratic candidate. But Kmiec insists that while he still considers himself a Republican, his choice is clear this election year. "I have grave moral doubts about the war, serious doubts about the economic course Republicans have followed over the last seven years, and believe that immigration reforms won't come about by Republican hands," he says. "Senator McCain would not be the strongest advocate for the balance of things that I care about." A new TIME poll of Catholic voters reveals that Kmiec is part of a broader pattern. Although Obama was thought to have a "Catholic problem" during the Democratic primaries, in which Hillary Clinton won a majority of Catholic votes, he has pulled even with John McCain among that constituency--Obama now polls 44% to his GOP opponent's 45%.
