  • Gingrich Winning in Both Arizona and Pennsylvania
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 21, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Gingrich winning in both Arizona and Pennsylvania Raleigh, N.C. – Newt Gingrich's momentum in the Republican Presidential race is just continuing to grow as Herman Cain's support fades away. Gingrich leads the GOP field in both Pennsylvania and Arizona. In Pennsylvania Gingrich has 32% to 15% for Cain, 12% for Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, 9% for Ron Paul, 5% for Michele Bachmann, 3% for Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman, and 0% for Gary Johnson. In Arizona Gingrich has 28% to 23% for Romney, 17% for Cain, 8% for Paul, 5% for Huntsman, 3% for Bachmann, Perry, and Santorum, and 0% for Gary Johnson. Gingrich's leads are a result of Cain's support finally starting to really fall apart. For an 8 week period from the end of September through last week Cain was over 20% in every single poll we did at the state or national level. Over that period of time we also repeatedly found that Gingrich was the second choice of Cain voters. Now that Cain has slipped below that 20% threshold of support he had consistently held, Gingrich is gaining. There's reason to think Gingrich could get stronger before he gets weaker. In Pennsylvania he's the second choice of 49% of Cain voters to 10% for Romney. And in Arizona he's the second choice of 39% of Cain voters to 10% for Romney.

  • James Browning Case Study
    Payout A Common Cause Education Fund Study Of Campaign Contributions By the Gaming Industry in Pennsylvania from 2001-08 By James Browning Common Cause Education Fund www.commoncause.org/pennsylvania June 2009 1 Synopsis This is a study of campaign contributions made by the gaming industry to candidates and political committees in Pennsylvania from 2001-2008.i The study includes only contributions recorded by the Pennsylvania Department of State, and does not include contributions to candidates for local, municipal, and other offices who were not required to file contribution reports with the DOS during this time. Introduction It’s often said about gambling that the rules favor the house and the house always wins. In Pennsylvania, the state’s failure to limit campaign contributions has contributed to a political system in which the ―winner‖ on any particular issue is often the group or groups who can exert the most influence over elected officials through campaign contributions and lobbying expenditures. Pennsylvania is one of the few states that does not limit campaign contributions, and in 2007 it became one of the last states to force lobbyists to disclose their expenditures and the issues on which they have been lobbying. The state’s online campaign contribution database is not fully searchable or sortable, so that a search for contributions from a particular interest that might take hours in another state could take hundreds of hours in Pennsylvania. These three weaknesses—no contribution limits, no statutorily mandated lobbyist disclosure from 2002 to 2007, and poor disclosure of campaign contributions—meant that the gaming industry was able to conduct a massive, sustained campaign to expand legalized gambling with relatively little scrutiny.

  • November 7, 2018 Pennsylvania Was One of the Most Closely Watched
    Keep up to date with our blog: Follow us on Twitter @BuchananGov knowingGovernmentRelations.com November 7, 2018 Pennsylvania was one of the most closely watched states in the country on Election Day. Redistricting of Congressional seats meant a shakeup was coming for the Commonwealth’s 18-member delegation. At the statewide level, the Governor and one of two U.S. Senators were on the ballot. In the state legislature, half of the 50 Senate seats (even- numbered districts) and the entire 203-seat House of Representatives were up for grabs. During the 2017-18 legislative session the Pennsylvania House of Representatives was comprised of 121 Republicans and 82 Democrats. After last night’s election, the 2018-19 legislative session will have 109 Republicans and 94 Democrats, after the Democrats picked up 11 seats. In the Pennsylvania Senate, Republicans had a majority during the 2017-18 by a margin of 34-16. Yesterday, Senate Democrats picked up 5 seats, narrowing the Republican’s majority. Next session will have 29 Republican members and 21 Democratic members. The 18-member Pennsylvania delegation had only 6 Democrats during the 115th Congress (2017-19). When new members are sworn into the 116th Congress next year, Pennsylvania’s delegation will be split, with 9 Republicans and 9 Democrats. Governor Governor Tom Wolf (D) and his running mate for Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman (D) defeated the ticket of Scott Wagner (R) and Jeff Bartos (R). Wolf received 2,799,1559 votes (57.66%), while Wagner got 1,981,027 votes (40.81%). U.S. Senate Senator Bob Casey (D) defeated Lou Barletta (R) by a margin of over half a million votes.

  • Corbett Leads Unknowns in Pennsylvania Governor's Race, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Voters Oppose Rendell Sales Tax
    Peter Brown, Assistant Director, Quinnipiac University Polling Institute FOR RELEASE: MARCH 3, 2010 CORBETT LEADS UNKNOWNS IN PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNOR’S RACE, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS; VOTERS OPPOSE RENDELL SALES TAX PLAN Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett has a 43 – 5 percent lead over State Representative Sam Rohrer for the Republican nomination for governor and holds double-digit leads over the top Democratic candidates, all of whom who are virtual unknowns even to their own party members, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. “Don’t know” leads the field for the Democratic nomination with 59 percent, followed by Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato with 16 percent, State Auditor General Jack Wagner with 11 percent, 2004 U.S. Senate nominee Joel Hoeffel at 10 percent and State. Sen. Tony Williams at 2 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. Gov. Ed Rendell remains unpopular with voters as he completes his final year in office, as voters disapprove 49 – 43 percent of the job he is doing, unchanged from December 17. Voters say 49 – 6 percent Gov. Rendell’s plan to increase state spending next year by 4.1 percent was too much rather than too little. Another 35 percent say it’s about right. By a 53 – 40 percent margin, voters oppose the Governor’s plan to raise more money by cutting the state sales tax but expanding items covered by it. “The Democratic candidates for Governor are almost invisible men as far as the voters are concerned. One of them will win the nomination, but at this point they are so closely bunched together and such mystery men to the vast majority of primary voters that any result is possible, given that the primary is little more than 10 weeks away,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
