From the Center Out
From the Center Out Retirements and Republicans’ Redistricting Bring High Legislative Turnover for 2013 by Ran Coble “If you have lower than a ten percent turnover, there is a problem. And if you have higher than, say 20 percent, there is a problem.” — Former U.S. President Richard M. Nixon, 1969–74 ven before the November elections in 2012, 34 percent of the state’s leg- islators who began the 2011–12 session will not return to their seats in 2013. Of the 170 legislators in the 2011–12 N.C. General Assembly, 57 Emembers — including 29 Republicans and 28 Democrats — will not return next year. In addition, four more legislators will not return to the same chamber, as four House members won election to the Senate. In the 2011–12 legislature, there were 46 freshman legislators (27 percent). Sixty- one more legislators are not returning at all or to the same chamber in 2013. In the 2013–14 General Assembly, 102 legislators (60 percent) will not have been there just three years ago. A combined 652 years of institutional memory and policy expertise will be lost with this much turnover. On the other hand, there will be room for lots of new ideas. Potential for Record-Setting Turnover The modern records for highest legislative turnover were set in 1973 and 1975, when 65 and 70 new legislators, respectively, came to the General Assembly. After the general elections on November 6, 2012, North Carolina’s legislative turnover in 2013 approached but did not surpass the record turnover of the mid-1970s.

NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY PRESIDE NT PRO TEMPORE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE PH IL BERGER TI M MOORE RALE IGH 27601 August 30, 2018 Hon. Chuck Grassley Hon. Richard Burr Chairman, Senate Committee on the Judiciary U.S. Senator 135 Hart Senate Office Building 217 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Hon. Thom Tillis U.S. Senator 185 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Re: Support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court Dear Sens. Grassley, Burr & Tillis, We write to express our strong support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court. As legislators, we have accepted the responsibility to faithfully represent the interests of our constituents in creating the laws that govern our state. We firmly believe that the judiciary’s role is to interpret those laws, not to use the power of the bench to circumvent the legislature and enact preferred policies. Judge Kavanaugh’s decisions throughout his distinguished judicial career make it clear that he will enforce the text, structure, and original understanding of the U.S. Constitution. He is a brilliant legal mind with impeccable credentials. On the merits, Judge Kavanaugh is a leading jurist on one of America’s top courts whose opinions are regularly cited throughout the country, and his confirmation should receive unanimous support. We appreciate your work to advance the confirmation of an immensely qualified nominee through the political minefield. We stand ready to assist in any way we can to help ensure Judge Brett Kavanaugh becomes the next U.S.

2016 Post-Election Analysis and Legislative Outlook for 2017
North Carolina Society of Eye Physicians & Surgeons PO Box 27167 | Raleigh, NC 27611 | Tel: 919-833-3836 Fax: 919-833-2023 | [email protected] | www.nceyemd.org 2016 Post-Election Analysis and Legislative Outlook for 2017 The recent elections have left many questions about the future of health care. As the national dialog about the Affordable Care Act progresses in the coming months, physicians will have myriad opportunities to support the development of systems that improve patient health and provide much-needed relief for doctors. Our role at the state level is more important than ever. This report provides an analysis of the state and federal election results in North Carolina and the impact that the elections have on NCSEPS’ legislative priorities heading into the 2017-2018 biennial session of the North Carolina General Assembly, which is scheduled to convene on January 11, 2017. Election Results General Assembly Predictions that Democrats would gain seats in the NC House and Senate and that the Republican veto-proof “supermajority” was in jeopardy didn’t pan out. The Republicans have preserved their supermajorities in both the House and Senate. House Republicans lost four races in Charlotte and Raleigh, but won three seats in more rural areas of the state. Senate Republicans picked up one seat. Governor Attorney General Roy Cooper is currently about 9,000 votes ahead of incumbent Governor Pat McCrory in the Governor’s race. Adding potential intrigue to this race, Cooper’s current majority resulted from some 90,000 votes from Durham County that were discovered in the days following the election.
