He has served on the Ways and Means Committee since 2007. He was a key Democratic supporter of the 2008 bailout of the financial services industry -- loudly berating Republicans on the House floor as an initial bailout bill went down to defeat -- as well as subsequent help for the automobile industry. In addition to his post as caucus vice chairman -- the fifth-ranking post in the Democratic leadership -- Crowley is also a finance chairman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the political arm of House Democrats, and serves on the Steering and Policy Committee. He has a garrulous personality to match his burly, 6-foot-4 frame. He's been known to break into song and is generally well-liked by friend and foe alike. Crowley has been a solid supporter of Democratic Party positions, as illustrated by the ratings he has received from organizations on opposite ends of the political spectrum: A lifetime score of 90 percent-plus from the liberal Americans for Democratic Action and 8 percent, through 2012, from the American Conservative Union He favors abortion rights, gun control and same-sex marriage. -

Bipartisan Legislation to Amend Title VII of Dodd-Frank Act in 113Th Congress House Committee on Agriculture
Bipartisan Legislation to Amend Title VII of Dodd-Frank Act in 113th Congress House Committee on Agriculture 1. H.R. 677: Inter-Affiliate Swap Clarification Act • Would provide that inter-affiliate transactions, when the parties to the transaction are under common control, will not be regulated as swaps. • Regulating inter-affiliate swaps provides no additional risk-reduction, but it does substantially raise costs for corporations. • Ensures that transactions between affiliates within a single corporate group are not regulated as swaps. • Regulators are considering requiring that inter-affiliate swaps are treated the same as all other swaps—requiring margin, clearing, and price reporting. • Many companies use one affiliate to conduct swaps, and then allocate that risk to other affiliates within their corporate structure. • If these inter-affiliate transactions are subject to the same regulation as other swaps, companies could be subject to double margin, and this centralized trading model may become cost- prohibitive. 113th Congress: Introduced February 13, 2013 . Sponsored by Reps. Steve Stivers (R-OH), Gwen Moore (D-WI), Chris Gibson (R-NY) and Marcia Fudge (D-OH). 112th Congress: H.R. 2779, Sponsored by Reps. Steve Stivers, Marcia Fudge, Chris Gibson and Gwen Moore. Passed Financial Services on November 30, 2011: 53 Yeas, 0 Nays. Passed Agriculture on January 25, 2012 by voice vote. Passed House on March 26, 2012: 357 Yeas, 36 Nays. 2. H.R. 634: Business Risk Mitigation and Price Stabilization Act of 2013 • Would provide an exemption from Dodd-Frank margin requirements for swaps transactions that qualify for the end-user clearing exemption. • Congress never intended for end-users to be subject to expensive margin requirements, which would require companies to take capital away from their businesses and hinder their ability to make job-creating investments. -

Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, Bill to Help Responders, May Die by Michael Mcauliff — Wednesday, July 28Th, 2010 ‘The New York Daily News’
Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, bill to help responders, may die BY Michael Mcauliff — Wednesday, July 28th, 2010 ‘The New York Daily News’ WASHINGTON - The House votes Wednesday or Thursday for the first time ever on a bill to care for the heroes and victims of Sept. 11, 2001 - and it's likely to fail. That's because Democratic House leaders decided Tuesday to push ahead with the Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act under a rule that requires two-thirds approval to pass. Many Republicans are concerned about the $10.5 billion price tag, and many don't like the way it's paid for. News of the scheme immediately alarmed 9/11 responders. "Whoever votes 'No' tomorrow should go to jail for manslaughter," said John Feal, who lost half his foot at Ground Zero in the cleanup. Feal thinks House leaders should have found a way to move the bill in the regular way, needing just a simple majority. "They'll all go home and lick their wounds after the vote, but 9/11 responders are the ones who are going to suffer without health care after nine years," Feal said. Sources told the Daily News that Democrats feared Republicans would attach toxic changes in a simple majority vote. No such tinkering is allowed under the two-thirds rule. New York's legislators were still holding out hope they would prevail. "Every time we had a vote on this, we did much better than people thought," said Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn/Queens). And Republicans who oppose the bill can be cast in a politically poisonous light, Democrats said, noting the measure is paid for by closing tax loopholes on subsidiaries of foreign companies. -

The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................
