AZ Congressman Ruben Gallego Adds Amendment to FAA Appropriations Bill
COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE NEWS June 4, 2015 AZ Congressman Ruben Gallego Adds Amendment to FAA Appropriations Bill A big step was taken today in putting a halt to regional airspace redesign that could negatively impact communities. The FAA moved flight paths in and out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in September 2014 without notification or input from community members affected by the changes. The FAA is now beginning its even larger, Metroplex regional airspace redesign process. Today an amendment was added to the Federal Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill. This amendment, which could put a halt to the Phoenix Metroplex regional airspace redesign, was passed today by the US House of Representatives. US Representative Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), who sponsored the amendment, said today on the House floor, “This amendment is very straightforward. It would just simply ensure the FAA does not proceed with the redesign of the regional airspace around Sky Harbor Airport until these issues [noise impacts from the 2014 flight path changes] are resolved in the local neighborhoods.” US Representative David Schweikert (R-AZ) backed Congressman Gallego’s amendment. “This is our opportunity to at least get our voices heard,” said Schweikert. “There are well established corridors where you don’t have the effects on the neighborhoods and we can still be moving to the Next Gen, if I could find someone at the FAA who would actually listen to our concerns.” After pleading with the FAA for eight months to mitigate noise concerns in the community resulting from the September 2014 flight path changes, Phoenix filed a lawsuit on June 1. -

The Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act of 2013
The Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act of 2013 .H.R.687 – Introduced by Reps. Paul Gosar, Ann Kirkpatrick, Matt Salmon, David Schweikert, and Trent Franks .S.339 – Introduced by Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake Why do we need the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act of 2013? • Creates thousands of high paying jobs. • Reduces U.S. dependence on foreign sources of energy and minerals. • Preserves Apache Leap. • Protects endangered species habitat, sensitive ecosystems, recreational sites, and historic landmarks in rural Arizona. • Generates billions of dollars of revenue for federal, state, and local governments. Overview of the Legislation • H.R.687 authorizes, directs, facilitates, and expedites the exchange of land between Resolution Copper, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management. – Legislation is required because the exchange involves three parties. • The exchange will bring into federal stewardship 5,344 acres of high-priority conservation lands in exchange for 2,422acres of national forest system land containing one of the largest undeveloped copper resources in the world. • H.R.687 and S.339 are nearly identical to the bill Rep. Gosar introduced and navigated to passage last Congress - the first time the exchange passed either body of Congress in its history. Resolution Copper will acquire the 2,422 acre “Oak Flat” parcel • This land is checker- boarded within Resolution Copper's lands. • Resolution Copper already has unpatented mining claims that cover about 75% of the parcel. • This conveyance is an important step to the development of the largest producing mine in North America. Economic Highlights • Over 3,000 construction jobs over a six to ten year period. -
April 23, 2020 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-232
April 23, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader H-232 The Capitol H-204 The Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader McCarthy: We appreciate the inclusion of $50 million in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act for libraries to expand Internet access across the country. This funding was a vital first step, but we will need to do more to help Americans stay informed and connected during this crisis. We urge you to include at least $2 billion in dedicated fiscal stabilization funding through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in the next COVID-19 response bill. Libraries are vital institutions not just for the resources they provide the American people, but the economic value they bring to communities, rural, suburban and urban. According to IMLS, Americans make more than 1.3 billion visits to public libraries each year. Libraries employ nearly 370,000 American workers and generate billions of dollars in economic activity, including the purchase of $4 billion in books and other materials annually. With libraries across the nation taking necessary steps to safeguard their employees and communities by closing their doors to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, we should do all we can to ensure library services continue, remotely for now and in-person in the future. Without an immediate robust infusion of federal support, libraries will be forced to make massive cuts, both in terms of staffing and purchases. These cuts would ripple throughout our communities, impacting support for education, workforce recovery, and access to computers and the Internet. -

Rare Disease Congressional Caucus
Join the Rare Disease Congressional Caucus The bipartisan and bicameral Rare Disease Congressional Caucus is led by Representatives G. K. Butterfield (D-NC) and Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), and Senators Roger Wicker (R-MS) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) to promote awareness of rare disease issues. Background: There are over 7,000 rare disorders that together affect more than 30 million Americans and their families. Rare or orphan diseases are defined as diseases affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Many rare diseases are considered ultra-rare; some affect fewer than 100 people. Rare diseases include rare cancers, tropical or neglected diseases, genetic diseases and many pediatric diseases including cancers. Many of these diseases are life-threatening and have no treatment options. The Orphan Drug Act was enacted in 1983 to incentivize pharmaceutical companies to develop therapies for diseases that have relatively small patient populations. Despite the success of the Orphan Drug Act, 93% of rare diseases still do not have a treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The science exists for many of these diseases to be treated; however, treatments may never be developed because of roadblocks in the development process, such as a lack of investment and a challenging regulatory environment. Additionally, while relatively few treatments have been approved, patients struggle with health insurance reimbursement and other coverage barriers that prohibit access to potentially lifesaving treatments. Solution: The Rare Disease Congressional Caucus helps bring public and Congressional awareness to the unique needs of the rare disease community (including patients, physicians, scientists, and industry), and creates opportunities to address barriers to the development of and access to life-altering treatments. -

Congress of the United States Washington D.C
Congress of the United States Washington D.C. 20515 April 29, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives H-232, U.S. Capitol H-204, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: As Congress continues to work on economic relief legislation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we ask that you address the challenges faced by the U.S. scientific research workforce during this crisis. While COVID-19 related-research is now in overdrive, most other research has been slowed down or stopped due to pandemic-induced closures of campuses and laboratories. We are deeply concerned that the people who comprise the research workforce – graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, and technical support staff – are at risk. While Federal rules have allowed researchers to continue to receive their salaries from federal grant funding, their work has been stopped due to shuttered laboratories and facilities and many researchers are currently unable to make progress on their grants. Additionally, researchers will need supplemental funding to support an additional four months’ salary, as many campuses will remain shuttered until the fall, at the earliest. Many core research facilities – typically funded by user fees – sit idle. Still, others have incurred significant costs for shutting down their labs, donating the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care workers, and cancelling planned experiments. Congress must act to preserve our current scientific workforce and ensure that the U.S. -

1 in the Shadow of Trump: How the 2016 Presidential Contest Affected
In the Shadow of Trump: How the 2016 Presidential Contest Affected House and Senate Primaries Prepared for the 2017 State of the Parties Conference, Akron, Ohio Robert G. Boatright, Clark University [email protected] The presidential race did not quite monopolize all of the uncivil or bizarre moments of the summer of 2016. One of the more interesting exchanges took place in Arizona in August of 2016, during the weeks before the state’s Senate primary election. Senator John McCain, always a somewhat unpredictable politician, has had difficulties in his last two primaries. Perhaps because he was perceived as having strayed too far toward the political center, or perhaps simply because his presidential bid had created some distance between McCain and Arizonans, he faced a vigorous challenge in 2010 from conservative talk show host and former Congressman J. D. Hayworth. McCain ultimately beat back Hayworth’s challenge, 56 percent to 32 percent, but only after a bitter campaign in which McCain spent a total of over $21 million and abandoned much of his “maverick” positioning and presented himself as a staunch conservative and a fierce opponent of illegal immigration (Steinhauer 2010). His task was made easier by his ability to attack Hayworth’s own checkered career in Congress. In 2016, McCain again faced a competitive primary opponent, physician, Tea Party activist, and two-term State Senator Kelli Ward. Ward, like Hayworth, argued that McCain was not conservative enough for Arizona. Ward was (and is), however, a decade younger than Hayworth, and her shorter tenure in political office made it harder for McCain to attack her.
