  • Four Things to Watch in Tuesday's New York
    Four Things to Watch in Tuesday's New York Primary Elections; This year will see an avalanche of mailed-in ballots, insurgents targeting incumbents, crowded fields and one candidate fighting on two fronts Vielkind, Jimmy. Wall Street Journal (Online); New York, N.Y. [New York, N.Y]21 June 2020. Tuesday's primary elections in New York will be unprecedented in several ways. They are the first occasion for people to go to polling places since the new coronavirus pandemic hit the state in March. As a result of different contests being rescheduled by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the Democratic primary election for U.S. president will be held on the same day as party primaries for the state Assembly and Senate as well as the U.S. House of Representatives. (Republicans canceled their presidential primary in March after President Trump was the only candidate to qualify for the ballot.) And because of the pandemic, any New Yorker was able to request an absentee ballot. Election officials even mailed every registered voter an application to do so, along with a postage-paid envelope to mail it back. Here are four things to watch on Tuesday: PAPER BALLOTS: When Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were trying to secure their parties' presidential nominations in April 2016, New York election administrators processed 115,178 applications for absentee ballots. Applications related to Tuesday's primaries had to be postmarked by June 16. According to the state Board of Elections, at least 1,949,997 ballots had been distributed as of June 19. The high volume of absentee ballots—which aren't counted by machines at polling places, as in-person ballots are—will make it impossible to determine the results of many contests for more than a week.

  • A RESOLUTION in REJECTION of the INSULAR CASES Authored By: Eliot Tricotti (TX) Sponsor: Gabriela Medina Marrero (PR)
    A RESOLUTION IN REJECTION OF THE INSULAR CASES Authored by: Eliot Tricotti (TX) Sponsor: Gabriela Medina Marrero (PR) WHEREAS the set of United States Supreme Court decisions referred to as the Insular Cases rely on a racist, Plessy-era doctrine of “separate and unequal” to establish the constitutional relationship between the United States and its territories. WHEREAS the Insular Cases rest on an explicitly White Anglo-Saxon supremacist vision of the country, made clear by the inclusion of deeply offensive language such as “alien races” and “people with an uncivilized race” when referring to the people living in U.S. territories. WHEREAS the racially grounded holdings in the Insular Cases are contrary to the text and history of the Constitution and have no modern relevance whatsoever. WHEREAS the legacy of the Insular Cases is an unequal legal and political relationship between the U.S. and the territories that continues to threaten the rights and interests of Americans living in the territories. WHEREAS the ongoing discrimination against citizens in U.S. territories reinforces the need to stop relying on the discredited assumptions about the people living in U.S. territories and antiquated notions of racial inferiority on which they were based. WHEREAS the U.S. Department of Justice continues to rely on the Insular Cases to argue for the continued exclusion of the territories from essential federal programs and benefits.1 BE IT RESOLVED that the Young Democrats of America call on the U.S. House of Representatives to pass H.Res.2792, introduced by Natural Resources Committee Chair Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) with Rep.

  • 1 Opening Statement of Chairman Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (VA-03
    Opening Statement of Chairman Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (VA-03) House Committee on Education and Labor Full Committee Organizational Meeting for the 117th Congress WebEx Monday, February 8, 2021 | 4:00 p.m. I thank my colleagues for being here today. Before we begin, I would like to take a moment of silence to acknowledge the passing of a Member of our Committee, Rep. Wright of Texas. Regrettably, he battled COVID after surviving cancer – and has joined over 450,000 Americans who have succumbed to the disease. During this difficult time for so many in our communities, we need to do everything we can to make sure this doesn’t happen. I yield to the Ranking Member to see if she would like to say anything prior to the moment of silence. As we formally begin our work for the 117th Congress, I want to express my commitment to working with every Member of this Committee to achieve the goals we share – ensuring that all people across this nation have access to quality education, good-paying jobs, and affordable health care. We will not always agree on the path to achieving these goals, but I hope we will agree to work in good-faith and follow evidence and research in developing policies that will improve the lives of the people we serve. This Committee has the authority and responsibility to address many of the urgent issues facing our communities today. First and foremost, we must do everything in our power to provide our children, students, educators, workers, and families with the relief to get through the COVID-19 pandemic.

    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.

    April 2, 2021 VIA EMAIL The Honorable Mikie Sherrill United States House of Representatives 1414 Longworth House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Representative Sherrill: Thank you for your letter and for voicing your concerns related to the 2021 Division I Women’s Basketball Championship. Please know that I and all of those involved in our championships share your concerns and have begun to immediately address and rectify these issues. As you noted, there have been several areas of concern related to this year’s women’s basketball tournament that have circulated among the public and media. I appreciate the opportunity to address each of these and attached to this letter are responses to the areas you noted. As is described in the comments below, we have retained an independent firm to conduct a comprehensive, thorough and external review of gender equity issues in connection with the NCAA, focusing on NCAA championships. While the immediate focus of the review is on women’s and men’s basketball, the full review will include an examination across other sports and championships more broadly, examining challenges that may be unique to those programs. Thank you again for your letter, the opportunity to address the concerns you have raised, and for your support of our student-athletes. The NCAA has a long history of supporting and providing exceptional championships and athletics experiences for nearly 500,000 women and men student-athletes each year. Gender equity is at the core of this work, and it is imperative we are doing all we can to ensure this commitment continues to be met.
