WASHINGTON Travel Agency Industry At A Glance RETAIL LOCATIONS FULL TIME JOBS ECONOMIC IMPACT 343 2,995 $168M TRAVEL ADVISORS ARE ECONOMIC DRIVERS Travel advisors – online, “brick and mortar” and many hybrid business models in between – play a critical role in the broader travel and tourism industry. TRAVEL ADVISORS ARE IN YOUR COMMUNITY The travel agency industry in the United States is a vital part of the transportation infrastructure. While the physical elements of travel include planes, trains, cars, hotels, cruises and tours, it is the travel advisor that makes it all happen. Travel advisors vary in size from the smallest home-based agent to storefront agencies in every state and Congressional district to the large travel management companies such as Carlson Wagonlit to household-name online agencies like Expedia. Together, they account for an annual payroll output of $5.5B and annual revenues of $17.7B.

Fluor Corporation Corporate Political Activity January – June 2021 Fluor Corporation has adopted a Political Activities Policy to establish policies and procedures regarding the Company’s advocacy and involvement in U.S. elections. As the Policy outlines, we believe that meaningful civic engagement requires Fluor to participate in the legislative process and, where lawful and appropriate, provide corporate support to candidates or ideas. The purpose of this Political Activities Report, a semiannual requirement under the Policy, is to facilitate transparency regarding Fluor’s political activities. This report discloses all of the Company’s monetary and non-monetary contributions and expenditures (direct or indirect), including contributions by FLUORPAC, the Company’s separate segregated fund, during the semiannual period (January – June 2021) to: (i) participate or intervene in any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office; or (ii) influence the general public, or any segment thereof, with respect to an election or referendum. For each contribution, the report discloses the name of the recipient and the amount given. These contributions are publicly reported to governing agencies by Fluor, FLUORPAC, and/or the recipients as required by law.

August 10, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Steny
August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

Voters' Pamphlet
Pierce County Official Local Voters’ Pamphlet Primary Election | August 16, 2011 "I am an American" Day observance, May, 1941, Jason Lee Middle School. Sponsored by the Tacoma Americanization Council. We're bringing back an old tradition. Published by the Pierce County Auditor's Ofﬁ ce piercecountywa.org/elections 253-798-VOTE (8683) or 1-800-446-4979 Message from the Auditor Dear Voter, If there is anything predictable about elections, it is change. Every year, something new is introduced. Budget reductions, new laws, fresh regulation…you name it. We take it in stride. Election year 2011 is no exception. Plenty has changed. • Vote-By-Mail is now the law of the land. Pierce County can no longer conduct polling place elections. • Our aging Express Booths have been retired. • We now have 23 Ballot Deposit Sites throughout the County. • Five new Voting Centers will be opened across the County. • “I Voted” stickers are back! Vote-By-Mail For 17% of Pierce County’s voters, this is a big change. Instead of driving to a polling place, a ballot will be mailed to your home. Simply apply a stamp and mail your ballot before August 16th. Or, drop it off at any one of our 25 Ballot Deposit Sites or six Voting Centers. Locations are on pages 8 - 10 of this booklet. Express Booths In 2010, we began the process of retiring our staffed Express Booths. In 2011, Express Booths have gone away entirely. It's expensive to staff these booths, move them, and store them. And, the booths were breaking down after nearly two decades of use.

These infrastructure investments—in things like mass transit, vehicle and ferry electrification, clean buildings, and more—are a bedrock to our state’s competitive edge. Washington State is also experiencing extreme and historic heat waves and drought conditions. We are at severe risk of a wildfire season even worse than last year, and many of the federal hydropower dams that are an essential component of our region’s infrastructure are likely to produce significantly less of the clean power that our economy relies. Climate policy is economic policy and the historic commitments Washington State has made will help protect the health and wealth of our state for generations.

2020 Election Recap
2020 Election Recap Below NACCHO summarizes election results and changes expected for 2021. Democrats will continue to lead the House of Representatives…but with a smaller majority. This means that many of the key committees for public health will continue to be chaired by the same members, with notable exceptions of the Appropriations Committee, where Chair Nita Lowey (D-NY) did not run for reelection; the Agriculture Committee, which has some jurisdiction around food safety and nutrition, whose Chair, Colin Peterson (D-MN) lost, as well as the Ranking Member for the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Greg Walden, (R-OR) who did not run for reelection. After the 117th Congress convenes in January, internal leadership elections will determine who heads these and other committees. The following new Representatives and Senators are confirmed as of January 7. House of Representatives Note: All House of Representative seats were up for re-election. We list only those where a new member will be coming to Congress below. AL-1: Republican Jerry Carl beat Democrat James Averhart (open seat) Carl has served a member of the Mobile County Commission since 2012. He lists veterans’ health care and border security as policy priorities. Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-AL) vacated the seat to run for Senate. AL-2: Republican Barry Moore beat Democrat Phyllis Harvey-Hall (open seat) Moore served in the Alabama House of Representatives from 2010 to 2018. The seat was vacated by Rep.
