DE LA GARZA ANNOUNCES For immediate release, Thursday, Jan. 27, 1994 WASHINGTON -- The problem of hunger in America and how Federal food assistance programs can better respond to people's needs in Texas and other states will be the focus of a Feb. 14 public forum in Weslaco, Texas, said U.S. Rep. Kika de la Garza, D-Texas. The forum, organized and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), will be held from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. at Hoblitzelle Auditorium located at the Texas A&M Research Center, 2415 East Highway 83 in Weslaco. "I am pleased USDA selected Weslaco as the site for one of its regional public forums on this national and local problem. This will be an opportunity for people in South Texas and our region to discuss the extent of the hunger problem in our communities and what current Federal programs are doing right and what needs to be changed. I look forward to hearing people's views and ideas on how Congress and the Administration can make these programs operate more effectively, including how to better fight fraud and abuse problems," said Rep. de la Garza. The Weslaco forum is the second in a series of regional hunger forums organized by USDA on how Federal food assistance programs can be improved. Testimony will be presented by people from Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Oklahoma -- including recipients, program administrators, educators and advocates, etc. -- who are involved with the programs. Rep. de la Garza will serve as the congressional host of the forum. As Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, he oversees the operation of several of USDA's food assistance programs, including the food stamp program. USDA's Assistant Secretary for Food and Consumer Services, Ellen Haas -- who administers all of USDA's domestic food assistance programs in Washington -- will moderate the three panel discussions currently scheduled. For further information on the hunger forum, contact Anita Brown of the House Agriculture Committee staff at 202-225-2171, or Judy Snow of USDA's Food and Nutrition Service Southwest regional office at 214-767-0256. #.

Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President
Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Jon R. Bond Texas A&M University [email protected] and Manny Teodoro Texas A&M University [email protected] Prepared for Presentation at the 115th Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Political Science Association August 29 – September 1, 2019 Washington, DC Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Abstract Conventional indicators reported in CQ’s 2017 Presidential Support Study show that President Trump racked up a “Record Success Rate”, winning 100 percent of House votes on which he expressed a position. Although presidency scholars have long recognized that winning roll call votes is not an indication of presidential influence, Trump’s unconventional style and his willful ignorance of Congress and basic details of the policies he “supports” lead us to question whether the results of roll call votes should even be interpreted as presidential success. Including this unconventional president in the study of a still small n of presidents requires innovative indicators that do not rely exclusively on traditional Presidential Support Scores that compare members on a static zero to 100 scale. Taking cues from FiveThirtyEight and from the field of sabermetrics, this paper presents two novel metrics that estimate whether House members’ support for the 11 elected presidents from Eisenhower to Trump is higher or lower than should be expected relative to differing political conditions. One metric, Support Above Expectations (SAE), estimates whether members’ presidential support is higher or lower than should be expected given electoral conditions, partisanship, polarization. This metric builds on 538’s “Trump plus-minus” score.
