Brooks Pierce Election Update, March 4, 2020
Brooks Pierce Election Update, March 4, 2020 03.04.2020 North Carolina Voters Cast Primary Ballots Over 2.1 million North Carolina voters cast primary election ballots on March 3 and during the early voting period. Most races have been decided, but a few may require runoffs. In races where no candidate receives 30% of the vote, the second place finisher may call for a runoff. Given that many political observers see North Carolina as a “purple” state, the November elections are expected to be hotly contested. While the official results have not yet been certified and the possibility for recounts or runoffs in some races remains… Here’s what we know: President President Donald Trump (R) won the Republican contest with 94% and Democrat Joe Biden won his party’s primary with 43 % to 24 % for Bernie Sanders, 13% for Michael Bloomberg and 10% for Elizabeth Warren. Governor Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Forest both won their party’s primary by large margins and will face off in November. Lt. Governor Republican Mark Robinson appears to have won with 33% and there may be a runoff on the Democratic side between Wake County Rep. Yvonne Holley (27%) and Buncombe County Sen. Terry Van Duyn (20%). Attorney General Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein will face Republican winner Jim O’Neill, the Forsyth County District Attorney, who received 47%. Agriculture Republican Commissioner Steve Troxler will face Democratic winner Jenna Wadsworth, a Wake County Soil and Water Supervisor, who received 54%. Auditor BROOKSPIERCE.COM Brooks Pierce Election Update, March 4, 2020 Democratic Auditor Beth Wood will face Republican Tony Street, a Brunswick County businessman, who received 56%. -
Mcconnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117Th Congress
For Immediate Release, Wednesday, February 3, 2021 Contacts: David Popp, Doug Andres Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn McConnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress Praises Senators Crapo and Tim Scott for their work on the Committee on Committees WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the 50-50 power-sharing agreement finalized earlier today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced the Senate Republican Conference Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress. Leader McConnell once again selected Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) to chair the Senate Republicans’ Committee on Committees, the panel responsible for committee assignments for the 117th Congress. This is the ninth consecutive Congress in which Senate leadership has asked Crapo to lead this important task among Senate Republicans. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) assisted in the committee selection process as he did in the previous three Congresses. “I want to thank Mike and Tim for their work. They have both earned the trust of our colleagues in the Republican Conference by effectively leading these important negotiations in years past and this year was no different. Their trust and experience was especially important as we enter a power-sharing agreement with Democrats and prepare for equal representation on committees,” McConnell said. “I am very grateful for their work.” “I appreciate Leader McConnell’s continued trust in having me lead the important work of the Committee on Committees,” said Senator Crapo. “Americans elected an evenly-split Senate, and working together to achieve policy solutions will be critical in continuing to advance meaningful legislation impacting all Americans. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit our nation, our economy was the strongest it has ever been. -
Ranking Member John Barrasso
Senate Committee Musical Chairs August 15, 2018 Key Retiring Committee Seniority over Sitting Chair/Ranking Member Viewed as Seat Republicans Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Republican Seat Viewed as Republican Seat at Risk Viewed as Seat Democrats Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Democratic Seat Viewed as Democratic Seat at Risk Notes • The Senate Republican leader is not term-limited; Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will likely remain majority leader. The only member of Senate GOP leadership who is currently term-limited is Republican Whip John Cornyn (R-TX). • Republicans have term limits of six years as chairman and six years as ranking member. Republican members can only use seniority to bump sitting chairs/ranking members when the control of the Senate switches parties. • Committee leadership for the Senate Aging; Agriculture; Appropriations; Banking; Environment and Public Works (EPW); Health Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP); Indian Affairs; Intelligence; Rules; and Veterans Affairs Committees are unlikely to change. Notes • Current Armed Services Committee (SASC) Chairman John McCain (R-AZ) continues to receive treatment for brain cancer in Arizona. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) has served as acting chairman and is likely to continue to do so in Senator McCain’s absence. If Republicans lose control of the Senate, Senator McCain would lose his top spot on the committee because he already has six years as ranking member. • In the unlikely scenario that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) does not take over the Finance Committee, Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), who currently serves as Chairman of the Banking Committee, could take over the Finance Committee. -
First, a Coronavirus Update Super Tuesday Makes
In classic Greek mythology, a golden apple of discord inscribed "For the fairest" was awarded to Aphrodite, beginning a chain of events that led to the Trojan War. GrayRobinson's newsletter reports on the most recent issues, individuals, and discourse deemed fairest in Washington. March 6, 2020 First, a coronavirus update Congress can move fast when it wants to. The House and Senate approved $8.3 billion in funding this week to support the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak, and the President signed that bill today. The package includes $826 million to support development and review of vaccines and treatments; $300 million to purchase vaccines and treatments once they’re approved; $950 million for states and localities to respond; and $3.1 billion for medical supplies, including expanding the Strategic National Stockpile. Testing is a priority, as the CDC expanded its criteria for testing and Vice President Pence, who’s heading the government’s response, promised that more than a million test kits will be distributed around the country. The SEC announced Wednesday that publicly traded companies affected by the outbreak will have an additional 45 days to file certain disclosure forms that would otherwise be due between March 1 and April 30. The federal banking agencies have postponed the National Interagency Community Reinvestment Conference scheduled for next week in Denver. In our area, three cases have been identified in suburban Maryland, ten are being tested in southwest Virginia, and no cases have yet been reported in the District of Columbia. Four cases have been confirmed in Florida, and another 69 are waiting for test results. -

Trump Trails Leading Democrats in North Carolina
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 9, 2019 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Trump Trails Leading Democrats in North Carolina Raleigh, N.C. – PPP's newest North Carolina poll finds that Donald Trump continues to be unpopular and that voters in the state are evenly divided on the question of impeaching him. 46% of voters approve of the job Trump is doing to 51% who disapprove of him, in a state that he took by 4 points in 2016. 48% of voters support impeaching Trump, with an equal 48% opposed. At this point disapproval for Trump and support for impeaching Trump have become almost the same thing- only 7% of voters who disapprove of Trump are opposed to impeaching him. We tested the 5 leading Democratic candidates in head to heads with Trump and he trails 3 of them, while it's very close against the other two. Joe Biden has a 5 point advantage at 51-46, Elizabeth Warren has a 3 point advantage at 49-46, and Bernie Sanders is up 50- 47. Trump and Kamala Harris tie at 47, and Trump has a slight advantage over Pete Buttigieg at 47-46. It's notable that regardless of the Democrat he's tested against, Trump always polls at 46-47% in North Carolina. “There are more voters in North Carolina who want to impeach Donald Trump than there are who approve of him,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. -

SENATE DEAR COLLEAGUE LETTER Senator Chris Coons (D
SENATE DEAR COLLEAGUE LETTER Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) and Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) are leading the bipartisan Dear Colleague letter to fund Statewide Family Engagement Centers in FY21. Please Carter Thompson at [email protected] or Andrew Nam in Senator Tillis’ office at [email protected] to sign on by COB March 17. XXXX, 2020 The Honorable Roy Blunt The Honorable Patty Murray Chairman Ranking Member Subcommittee on Labor, HHS, Education Subcommittee on Labor, HHS, Education & Related Agencies & Related Agencies United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Blunt and Ranking Member Murray: As you develop the Fiscal Year 2021 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, we respectfully request that you provide $15 million in funding for the Statewide Family Engagement Centers (SFEC). The SFEC program provides much-needed technical assistance and partnership development to states and school districts to foster meaningful engagement with families to further their children's academic and developmental progress. SFECs also provide vital direct services to improve collaboration of engagement between children, parents, teachers, school leaders, counselors, administrators and other school personnel with each other. The SFEC program embarked on the inaugural year of an initial five-year grant cycle after receiving $10 million in the FY18 appropriations process, resulting in thirteen states establishing SFECs. While we were pleased to see that the program received $10 million in both FY19 and FY20, no new centers can be established without additional funding. This means 41.7 million K-12 students and their families in the other states are unable to benefit from enhanced engagement supports and services provided by SFECs unless Congress provides more funding. -
