  • Guinta Unpopular in First District, Candidates for Nh Governor and Us Congress Unknown
    THE WMUR GRANITE STATE POLL March 2, 2016 GUINTA UNPOPULAR IN FIRST DISTRICT, CANDIDATES FOR NH GOVERNOR AND US CONGRESS UNKNOWN By: Andrew E. Smith, Ph.D. Zachary S. Azem, M.A. UNH Survey Center 603/862-2226 www.unh.edu/survey-center DURHAM, NH – New Hampshire governor Maggie Hassan is running for the U.S. Senate after serving two terms. Possible candidates for governor are largely unknown to New Hampshire residents. First District Congressman Frank Guinta is very unpopular in his district and faces three unknown challengers for the Republican nomination. Second District Congresswoman Ann Kuster is only somewhat popular in her district but faces a largely unknown challenger. These findings are based on the latest WMUR Granite State Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. Six hundred and eighty-seven (687) randomly selected New Hampshire adults were interviewed by landline and cellular telephone between February 20 and February 28, 2016. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 3.7 percent. Included were six hundred and twenty-eight (628) likely 2016 general election voters (MSE = +/- 3.9%). Three hundred and fifty-eight (358) residents were from the First Congressional District (MSE = +/- 5.2%) and three hundred and twenty-nine (329) were from the Second District (MSE = +/- 5.4%). Favorability Ratings – Potential Republican NH Governor Candidates Governor Maggie Hassan has decided to run for the U.S. Senate rather than run for re-election and leaves the race for the next governor of New Hampshire wide open. The potential candidates to replace Hassan are all relatively unknown among New Hampshire residents.

  • Kuster Takes Lead in NH Second, Guinta Maintains Lead in First 10
    THE WMUR / UNH NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION POLL THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE SURVEY CENTER October 15, 2010 KUSTER TAKES LEAD IN NH SECOND, GUINTA MAINTAINS LEAD IN FIRST By: Andrew E. Smith, Ph.D. UNH Survey Center www.unh.edu/survey-center 603/862-2226 DURHAM, NH – Democrat Ann McLane Kuster has overtaken Republican Charlie Bass in the race for New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District seat. In the First C.D., Republican Frank Guinta continues to lead incumbent Carol Shea- Porter. These findings are based on the latest WMUR / UNH New Hampshire Election Poll ,∗ conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. Seven hundred nine (709) randomly selected New Hampshire likely voters were interviewed by telephone between October 7 and October 12, 2010. Included was a subsample of 340 likely voters in the NH First Congressional District (margin of sampling error +/-5.3%), and a subsample of 369 Second Congressional District likely voters (margin of sampling error +/-5.1%). 2nd Congressional District For the first time during the campaign, Democrat Ann McLane Kuster has overtaken her opponent, Republican Charlie Bass, in the Second Congressional District. Bass, who held this seat between 1995 and 2007, has seen his once formidable lead over Kuster evaporate since the September 14 primary. Currently, 43% of likely 2 nd CD voters say they will vote for Kuster, 36% support Bass, 3% prefer Libertarian Howard Wilson, 1% favor independent Tim Van Blommesteyn, 1% prefer some other candidate, and 16% remain undecided. In late September, Bass held a narrow 43% to 38% lead over Kuster, but led by 18 percentage points in July.

  • 114TH CONGRESS / First Session Available at Frcaction.Org/Scorecard
    FRC ACTION VOTE SCORECARD 114TH CONGRESS / First Session Available at FRCAction.org/scorecard U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate Dear Voter and Friend of the Family, FRC Action presents our Vote Scorecard for the First Session of the 114th Congress. This online Scorecard contains a compilation of significant votes on federal legislation affecting faith, family, and freedom that FRC Action either supported or opposed. These recorded votes span the 2015 calendar year and include the greatest number of pro-life votes in history, after the U.S. House increased its Republican membership and the U.S. Senate was returned to Republican control. The year began with a bipartisan effort in the House to prohibit federal funds from being used to pay for abortion coverage under Obamacare. Congress successfully fought to restrict FDA approval of some forms of embryo-destructive research. The House, once again, passed legislation that would prevent late abortions on 5 month old pain-capable unborn children, and although the Senate was unable to pass the bill due to the 60 vote threshold, for the first time, a majority of Senators voted in favor of the bill. The public release of videos revealing Planned Parenthood’s organ harvesting practices renewed efforts to defund this scandal-ridden organization and redirect funding towards community health centers. In an unprecedented victory, the House and Senate passed a budget reconciliation bill, the Restoring Ameri- cans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act, which would have eliminated a significant portion of Planned Parenthood’s funding—roughly 80%— and repealed key provisions of Obamacare.

  • The Koch's Criminal Justice Hypocrisy in New Hampshire
    CCWWTT::^^RRWW11aa^^ccWWTTaabb´´ 666AAA000===888CCC444 BBBCCC000CCC444 ???AAA>>>999444222CCC 77^^ffccWWTTAAPPSSXXRRPP[[00VVTT]]SSPP^^UU >dc^UBcPcT1XV>X[1X[[X^]PXaTb 77PPbb77ddaacc==TTff77PP\\__bbWWXXaaTT 1 Charles and David Koch pour hundreds of millions of dollars into our political system to advance their self-enriching agenda and elect their puppet candidates. At the state and national level, the Kochs use their unlimited resources to influence policy to suit their political and personal needs while hurting middle class and working families. The policies they favor include cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy; reducing and eliminating regulations to protect workers, consumers, and the environment; privatizing and cutting both Social Security and Medicare; and cutting other programs, including Pell Grants for college. For decades, the Kochs and their network of dark money political front groups have been pushing the Koch agenda in New Hampshire — perhaps more than any other state in the country — which has benefitted billionaires like the Kochs at the expense of Granite Staters. In 2016, New Hampshire will continue to be on center stage in American politics with the First In The Nation primary, a top- tier Senate race, marquee Congressional contests, an open governor’s mansion, and a number of hot button issues in the limelight. At the same time, the Koch network has promised to spend nearly $900 million to buy elections for candidates who will do their bidding for them. The Kochs themselves admit they “expect something in return” for the millions they spend propping up their candidates, but for candidates, backing from the Kochs comes with a high price tag.

  • 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 ....................................................................................................................

  • Sen. Ayotte Opposes Pipeline
    Sen. Ayotte opposes pipeline By CHRIS GAROFOLO Staff Writer U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte came out against the controversial Kinder Morgan Northeast Energy Direct natural gas pipeline during a conference call on Tuesday, saying there remain too many unanswered questions about the project. The Nashua Republican said unless a series of basic questions are addressed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, she could not support the roughly 419-mile pipeline, about 78 miles of which are in New Hampshire, moving forward. Ayotte was critical of the federal agency for not directly answering inquiries regarding any possible threshold determination related to public need and a proper review of all natural gas projects in the region. She also asked how FERC plans to take into account public comments from New Hampshire residents about the project, including safety concerns, and the role of the Pipeline Hazardous Material Safety Administration, which establishes national policy and sets standards for the industry. Constituents have raised real concerns about this, and "these are very important, legitimate questions that should be answered," said Ayotte, who is up for re-election next year and is anticipating a high-profile race against current Gov. Maggie Hassan, a Democrat. "And in my view, unless and until these questions ... are sufficiently answered and the concerns of local residents are meaningfully addressed, I oppose this project going forward," she said. The question about the pipeline during the Tuesday call with Granite Staters came from state Rep. Jack Flanagan, a Republican from Brookline. The pipeline has been a major issue in his town. The Tennessee Gas Pipeline LLC, a subsidiary of the Texas-based energy giant Kinder Morgan, has proposed a roughly 3-foot-diameter pipeline buried across southern New Hampshire and underneath the Souhegan and Merrimack rivers before connecting with existing networks in Londonderry.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website.
