In the United States Senate, the Republicans had a net gain of six seats. The thirteen new Republican Senators are: John Boozman (AR), Marco Rubio (FL), Mark Kirk (IL), Dan Coats (IN), Jerry Moran (KS), Rand Paul (KY), Roy Blunt (MO), John Hoeven (ND), Kelly Ayotte (NH), Rob Portman (OH), Pat Toomey (PA), Mike Lee (UT), and Ron Johnson (WI). The Democrats have three new Senators: Richard Blumenthal (CT), Chris Coons (DE), and Joe Manchin (WV). There will be 47 Republican Senators in the 112th Congress. In the House of Representatives, the Republicans picked up 63 seats. The ranks of Democrats defeated include three committee chairmen: Jim Oberstar (Transportation & Infrastructure), John Spratt (Budget), and Ike Skelton (Armed Services). The House Republican gains were spread across the country with concentrations in the Mid-Atlantic and Mid-West area. New York led the country with six GOP pick-ups. Ohio and Pennsylvania each had five. Florida and Illinois had four, and Tennessee, Texas and Virginia had three each. States with two Republican net gains include Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. States with one GOP pick-up include Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Washington, and West Virginia. The Democrats offset these losses with three pick-ups, one each in Louisiana, Delaware, and Hawaii. ABOUT THE 2010 ELECTION GUIDE K&L Gates is providing this guide to help you better understand and keep track of the changes in Congress. It provides a starting point for assessing the coming changes in House and Senate Committee and Subcommittee memberships. The following are included within this guide: All new Members of Congress are listed alphabetically, by state and district along with links to the campaign websites which contain biographical information. Outgoing Members of Congress are listed, with the reasons for their departures. Complete delegations of each state are included, with new Members of the House highlighted and their predecessors shown. Seats that switched parties are highlighted in red for Republican pick-ups and blue for Democratic pick-ups. Races that are too close to call are marked with an asterisk and highlighted gray. The year of the next election is shown for each Senator (e.g., Senators whose year of next election is 2016 were elected or reelected in 2010). Roster lists for each full Committee and Subcommittee from the departing 111th Congress are included; with nonreturning members lined out and projected full Committee House Chairmen noted. @ 2010 K&L Gates LLP Page 2 NEW MEMBERS OF THE SENATE (16) Republicans (13) Democrats (3) Kelly Ayotte (NH) Richard Blumenthal (CT) http://www.ayotteforsenate.com/ http://www.richardblumenthal.com/ John Boozman (AR) Chris Coons (DE) http://www.boozmanforarkansas.com/ http://www.chriscoons.com/ Roy Blunt (MO) Joe Manchin III (WV) http://www.royblunt.com/ http://www.governormanchin.com/ Dan Coats (IN) http://www.coatsforindiana.com/ John Hoeven (ND) http://www.hoevenforsenate.com/ Ron Johnson (WI) http://ronjohnsonforsenate.com/home/ Mark Kirk (IL) http://www.kirkforsenate.com/ Mike Lee (UT) http://www.mikelee2010.com/ Jerry Moran (KA) http://www.moranforkansas.com/ Rand Paul (KY) http://www.randpaul2010.com/ Rob Portman (OH) http://www.robportman.com/ Marco Rubio (FL) http://www.marcorubio.com/ Patrick J.

  • A CLEAN SWEEP for the GOP from a Stunning Upset Win for Businessman Donald Trump to Become the 45Th President Elect of the United States, to the GOP Retaining the U.S
    A CLEAN SWEEP FOR THE GOP From a stunning upset win for businessman Donald Trump to become the 45th president elect of the United States, to the GOP retaining the U.S. Senate and House, Republicans keeping their 9- 5 margin in the U.S. Congress, blocking any attempt by the Democrats to take control of the Michigan House of Representatives and maintaining a lock on the Michigan Supreme Court, it was a remarkable Republican victory. TRUMP RIDES A POPULIST THEME TO THE WHITE HOUSE Connecting with a “mad as hell and not going to take it anymore” feeling among the electorate, many of whom had never voted before, Donald Trump squeezed out a nail biter victory over the long presumed winner Hillary Clinton and put a big dent in the legacy of President Barack Obama. For the first time since 1988, it appeared likely that Michigan would go Republican in selecting a U.S. President. REPUBLICANS HOLD 9-5 EDGE IN U.S. HOUSE Retired Lt. General Jack Bergman crushed former Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lon Johnson 55 to 40 percent to win big in the 1st Congressional District where incumbent U.S. Representative Dan Benishek (R- Crystal River) did not seek reelection. In the 8th Congressional District Mike Bishop (R-Rochester) scored a healthy 57 to 39 percent margin victory over Democratic challenger Suzanna Shkreli and U.S. Representative Tim Walberg coasted to his fifth-term win by defeating Gretchen Driskell 59 to 36 percent. And former Ross Educational CEO Paul Mitchell was a first-time winner in his expected defeat of former Representative Frank Accavitti in Michigan’s 10th Congressional district.

  • Michigan Catholic Conference 2002 Congressional Candidate Questionnaire
    Volume 30, Number 3 September, 2002 Michigan Catholic Conference 2002 Congressional Candidate Questionnaire …Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Declaration of Independence One of the most important duties of an American citizen is casting a ballot in an election. This November, Michigan’s citizens will be voting to select the fifteen representatives and one senator who will be responsible for making sure the voices of the people of Michigan are heard in the United States Congress. In order to help the voters of Michigan make an informed choice about their representation in Washington, D.C., the Michigan Catholic Conference has solicited the positions of the thirty Democratic and Republican candidates for the U.S. House and Senate on a variety of issues. We are pleased to make their answers available to you. Questionnaires were sent to the congressional and senate candidates from the major parties in early September 2002. Candidates were asked to mark whether their position was in support of, or in opposition to, the subject of questions found on pages two and three. Candidates were also given the opportunity of noting where they had no position on an issue. In some cases, candidates provided comments or answers on questions unsolicited by the Michigan Catholic Conference. Because the MCC candidate questionnaire did not include a spe- cific area for comment, these unsolicited comments and additions have not been reproduced here. The comments of the candidates will be provided upon request. The Michigan Catholic Conference does not endorse or oppose any candidates, under any circumstances, and no inference of endorsement or opposition should be concluded as a result of information provided in this issue of FOCUS.

  • Analysis of 2010 Mid-Term Election Results
    Analysis of 2010 Mid-Term Election Results November 3, 2010 When the Founding Fathers created a bicameral legislative branch of the government, they determined that all members of the lower body—the U.S. House of Representatives—would run for office every two years and that members of the upper chamber—the U.S. Senate—would serve six-year terms with a third of the membership reviewed every two years. The theory was that the House—the “Peoples Chamber”—would reflect current public sentiment while the Senate would be a more deliberative chamber. Or, as later described, the House would be like a hot cup of coffee and the Senate would be the saucer that cools legislation down. That theory of legislative governance was soundly reconfirmed on Tuesday as Republicans won control of the U.S. House of Representatives by a significant margin but fell several seats short of gaining control of the U.S. Senate. With several races still too close to call, Republicans have captured 239 seats to take control of the House for the first time since 2006 and picked up six Senate seats to close the gap to no worse than 53-47 (two races remain undecided). Further solidifying their gains, Republicans won 27 gubernatorial races, including the key battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Partially offsetting those losses, Democrats captured gubernatorial races in California and New York. Senate Going into yesterday’s elections, there were 37 Senate races being contested: 19 Democrat-held seats and 18 Republican-held seats. Republicans needed a net gain of 10 to win control but fell short of that goal.
