  • August 10, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Steny
    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.

    2020 Election Recap Below NACCHO summarizes election results and changes expected for 2021. Democrats will continue to lead the House of Representatives…but with a smaller majority. This means that many of the key committees for public health will continue to be chaired by the same members, with notable exceptions of the Appropriations Committee, where Chair Nita Lowey (D-NY) did not run for reelection; the Agriculture Committee, which has some jurisdiction around food safety and nutrition, whose Chair, Colin Peterson (D-MN) lost, as well as the Ranking Member for the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Greg Walden, (R-OR) who did not run for reelection. After the 117th Congress convenes in January, internal leadership elections will determine who heads these and other committees. The following new Representatives and Senators are confirmed as of January 7. House of Representatives Note: All House of Representative seats were up for re-election. We list only those where a new member will be coming to Congress below.

  • Bipartisan Letter Urges Additional Relief Fund Flexibilities and Extended Deadlines IDPH Releases New and Updated Vaccine Inform

Wednesday, May 12, 2021 Bipartisan letter urges additional relief fund flexibilities and extended deadlines The Iowa Hospital Association continues to advocate for an extension to the deadline for hospitals to spend unused funds from the Provider Relief Fund. This week, Reps. Cindy Axne and Mariannette Miller-Meeks led a bipartisan group of 77 members in a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services calling for greater flexibility and additional time for health care providers to use financial assistance they have received from the Provider Relief Fund. Reps. Ashley Hinson and Randy Feenstra also signed the letter, and Sens. Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley also are advocating for the same changes. Providers face a deadline of Wednesday, June 30, to spend unused funds and have limited options for how funds may be used. The letter notes that some providers have only tapped this assistance as a last resort for fear of being required to return a significant portion. This has resulted in hospitals postponing projects that would greatly help in responding to the pandemic, like converting patient care rooms to negative-pressure rooms. IDPH releases new and updated vaccine information IDPH has released the following new and updated COVID-19 vaccine information: COVID-19 Vaccine Information Brief. Vaccine Access and Wastage Guidance. Vaccine Equity Funding Questions and Answers. These documents are posted to the HAN *3 COVID-19 Vaccine folder.

  • ICYMI: Sara Jacobs Announces Big Local and National Endorsements
    For Immediate Release: January 16, 2018 Contact: Chelsea Brossard, [email protected] ICYMI: Sara Jacobs Announces Big Local and National Endorsements Sara Jacobs, former Policy Advisor at the State Department and Non-Profit Director running for Congress in California's 49th District, has announced multiple local and national endorsements since launching her campaign just two months ago. Endorsements include EMILY's List and Congressmember Lois Frankel, Chair of the Congressional Democratic Women Working Group, among others. Here's what they had to say about her candidacy: San Diego City Attorney Mara W. Elliott: “Sara is an exceptionally qualified woman who has what it takes to be an effective Member of Congress for our region. Her focus on closing the opportunity gap – which prevents children from getting the education they deserve, families from overcoming the high costs of health care and housing, and our communities from being adequately represented in elected office – will serve our community well. I’m thrilled to throw my full support behind her.” Imperial Beach City Councilmember Mark West: “As a veteran, an environmentalist, and a public servant, I’m thrilled to endorse Sara Jacobs for CA-49,” West said. “Sara and I see eye to eye on the issues and share the same progressive values that called me into public service – protecting our environment while paying special attention to the marginalized communities that are hit the hardest by climate change and environmental injustice, and supporting our service members and veterans and the families who have served and sacrificed alongside us. “As a seasoned policymaker, Sara is uniquely suited to take on the challenges that have dogged Congress for decades – and to put a much-needed focus on how to root out inequality before it becomes a permanent fixture of our economy.” Congressmember Lois Frankel: “In the age of Trump, Sara Jacobs is the perfect antidote.

    April 28, 2021 The Honorable Rosa DeLauro The Honorable Tom Cole Chair Ranking Member Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Health and Human Services, and Education 2358-B Rayburn House Office Building 2358-B Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairwoman DeLauro and Ranking Member Cole: As you begin work on the Fiscal Year 2022 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations bill, we respectfully request that you provide increased funding at $15.4 million to study the intersection of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS) at the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and to include the attached report language to complement this work. While the cause of ME/CFS is unknown, multiple studies have found it has a viral trigger, often following acute infections from the Spanish flu of 1918 to Epstein-Barr to Ebola. Some patients experiencing PACS – so called long haulers – meet the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS and may become permanently disabled.1 Dr. Anthony Fauci during a July 2020 news conference stated that many COVID-19 patients develop symptoms strikingly similar to ME/CFS and that “this is something we really need to seriously look at because it very well might be there is a post-viral syndrome associated with COVID-19.”2 The Institute of Medicine estimated in a 2015 report that between 836,000 and 2.5 million people in the United States suffer from ME/CFS.3 The direct and indirect costs on individuals, the U.S.
