CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE August 7, 2020
MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE August 7, 2020 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF AUGUST 3, 2020 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results RECORD-SETTING PRIMARY ELECTIONS A record number of voters participated in Michigan’s primary election on Aug. 4, with more than 2.5 million people casting a vote either in person or by absentee ballot. One of the most followed races in the primary was the 13th Congressional District rematch between U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Detroit) and Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones. Jones represented the district for a few weeks in 2018, following the resignation of Rep. John Conyers (D-Detroit) in December 2017. After his resignation, there were two elections for the seat with Jones winning the special election to complete Conyers unexpired term, and Tlaib winning the regular race for the Congressional seat. This year, Tlaib and Jones were the only primary candidates. On Tuesday, Tlaib won the strongly Democratic district with nearly twice as many votes as Jones, potentially guaranteeing her a second term. In the 3rd Congressional District in West Michigan, Republican Peter Meijer, a U.S. Army veteran whose family founded the well-known Meijer retail chain, won a five-way contest with more than 50 percent of the vote, including holding a strong lead over his main opponent Rep. Lynn Afendoulis. Meijer will face Democratic attorney Hillary Scholten. The winner of that race will succeed U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, a former Republican turned Libertarian who is not seeking reelection. In the 10th Congressional District, a Republican stronghold in the Thumb region, Republican businesswoman Lisa McClain of Bruce Township, a pro-Trump Republican who outspent her opponents, beat state Rep. -
Dear Colleague
November 13, 2018 Dear Colleague: We write today to share our support for Steny Hoyer to serve as Majority Leader in the 116th Congress. In the majority, we will have considerable opportunity to effect change and great responsibility to get things done on behalf of our constituents. We will need a steady, experienced leader over the next two years, who also works to empower our Members and prepare them for future leadership opportunities. We will need someone who will hold President Trump, his Administration, and Congressional Republicans accountable – while still being able to work effectively in a divided government to get legislation passed. It is for these reasons that we believe that Steny is the person we need as Majority Leader. Steny was out on the trail tirelessly campaigning this cycle, doing the hard work necessary to take back the House. He traveled to districts in every part of the country, campaigning with progressive and moderate Democratic candidates alike. He’s been there for us: traveling for us, raising money for us, and he’s often one of the first people to reach out and offer his support. He has been a mentor to many of us. We believe it is critical for our leaders to promote Members across our Caucus and give them real opportunities to lead. Steny has done this, and will continue to do so. Half of his Whip team is composed of Members who have served for three terms or less. He was a strong supporter of efforts in 2016 to expand the leadership team, and he is committed to making changes that empower Members further, including by strengthening the Committee process. -

Candidates for Federal Office for US Senator Christopher S Murphy Matthew Corey Richard Lion Jeff Russell for US Representative
Candidates for Federal Office For US Senator Christopher S Murphy Matthew Corey Richard Lion Jeff Russell For US Representative District 1 John Larson 1. In light of documented attacks on our election systems, would you vote to require and fund all states to replace paperless electronic voting machines with voting machines that use and count paper ballots? Yes. Congress has a responsibility to uphold the integrity of our elections. That priority is neither Democratic, nor Republican – it is an issue that is central to our democracy. That is why I have supported and voted for past legislation to establish a grants program for state and local governments to make backup paper ballots available in case electronic voting machines break down. In addition to paper ballots, nonpartisan election officials should have an audit of these ballots to confirm election results. Citizens should feel confident that their vote will be counted. 2. How will you ensure access to medical care and affordable health insurance with reasonable benefits for all Americans? By fighting back against the sale of junk insurance and protecting those with pre-existing conditions. We must move beyond trying to repeal the ACA and towards improving access to affordable care. That’s why I introduced the Medicare Buy-In & Health Care Stabilization Act (HR 3748) along with Congressman Courtney, to allow Americans ages 50-64 years old to buy into Medicare. Experts have looked at the data and found a 60-year-old could save 40 percent on premiums with a Medicare Buy-In compared to a Gold plan on the marketplace today. -

May 13, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-232
May 13, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-232 The Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Speaker Pelosi, In accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance released on May 13, 2021 we urge you to immediately return to normal voting procedures and end mandatory mask requirements in the House of Representatives. CDC guidance states fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any setting except where required by governmental or workplace mandate. It is time to update our own workplace regulations. Every member of Congress has had the opportunity to be vaccinated, and you have indicated about 75 percent have taken advantage of this opportunity. The United States Congress must serve as a model to show the country we can resume normal life through vaccination. Let’s follow the science and get back to work. Sincerely, Bob Gibbs Member of Congress Lisa McClain Nancy Mace Member of Congress Member of Congress Jeff Duncan Ashley Hinson Member of Congress Member of Congress Robert E. Latta Barry Moore Member of Congress Member of Congress Ann Wagner Lauren Boebert Member of Congress Member of Congress Dusty Johnson Guy Reschenthaler Member of Congress Member of Congress Larry Bucshon Ronny Jackson Member of Congress Member of Congress Austin Scott Dan Newhouse Member of Congress Member of Congress Ralph Norman Ted Budd Member of Congress Member of Congress Mike Bost Beth Van Duyne Member of Congress Member of Congress Cliff Bentz Barry Loudermilk Member of Congress Member of Congress Dan Bishop Russ Fulcher Member of Congress Member of Congress Brian Mast Louie Gohmert Member of Congress Member of Congress Troy Balderson Warren Davidson Member of Congress Member of Congress Mary Miller Jerry Carl Member of Congress Member of Congress Jody Hice Ken Buck Member of Congress Member of Congress Bruce Westerman James R. -
Progressive Massachusetts 2020 Congressional
PROGRESSIVE MASSACHUSETTS 2020 CONGRESSIONAL ENDORSEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE Date: 2/10/2020 Candidate: Alan Khazei th Office Sought: Massachusetts 4 Congressional District Party: Democrat Website: www.alankhazei.com Twitter: @AlanKhazei Facebook: www.facebook.com/khazeiforcongress Other Social Media: Instagram - @AlanKhazei Email questions to [email protected]. preference/identity, and ability. I expect to win by engaging voters through the passions that inspire I. About You 1. Why are you running for office? And what will your top 3 priority pieces of legislation if elected? I’m running for Congress in Massachusetts for several reasons. First as a parent, I don’t want to be part of the first generation since the founding of our country to leave the country worse off to our children and grandchildren than our parents and grandparents left it for us. Second, because I believe that we are in the worst of times but also best of times for our democracy. Worst because Trump is an existential threat to our values, principles, ideals and pillars of our democracy. But best of times, because of the extraordinary new movement energy that has emerged. I’ve been a movement leader, builder and activist my entire career and I’m inspired by the new energy. I’ve been on the outside building coalitions to get big things done in our nation, but now want to get on the inside, bust open the doors of Congress and bring this new movement energy in to break the logjam in DC. Third, I am a service person at my core. Serving in Congress is an extraordinary opportunity to make a tangible and daily difference in people’s lives.
