American Studies II College Prep Mr. Buggé 2014 Senatorial Election Research Project 85 Points American Studies II College Prep Mr. Buggé 2014 Senatorial Election Research Project 85 Points New Jersey is always at the forefront of politics. This year the voters go to the polls to elect our senator. The Senatorial election will have tremendous consequences for the nation as control of congress could switch political parties. The nation faces a myriad of issues such as the state of our economy, education, gay marriage, health care, foreign relations, and war. Over the past six years the only significant legislation to come out of congress was the Affordable Care Act and that was passed with a democrat in the white house and a democratic controlled congress. Currently congress is split with the republicans controlling the House of Representatives and democrats in control of the Senate. Congress has the lowest approval ratings over the past few years and the nation seems politically divided. Two candidates, Cory Booker, the democrat, and Jeff Bell, the republican, are both campaigning for votes. Cory Booker is the current senator and has been there for the past year when he was elected in a special election to fill the seat of Frank Lautenberg who died while serving in office. Booker is also the former mayor of Newark, NJ. Jeff Bell is an author and politician who has run for senate in the past. You will be assigned to either the Democratic or Republican Party with the goal of getting your candidate elected. In order to complete this assignment successfully, in- depth research surrounding the issues will be required. Additionally, you need to promote your candidate so the state can make an educated choice. Below are the roles that need to be fulfilled in your campaign as well as responsibilities. 1.

    For Immediate Release, Tuesday, October 21 9 pages Contact: Krista Jenkins 973.443.8390 or [email protected] BLAST FROM THE PAST: LEAD FOR BOOKER COMPARABLE TO BELL’S LAST OPPONENT IN 1978 November’s Senate election pits the incumbent, Democrat Cory Booker, against an underdog, Republican Jeff Bell. While most are focused on the horserace numbers between the two, Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind expands the focus by asking likely voters not just about the current contest involving Bell, but also their preferences in a hypothetical rematch between Bell and his 1978 opponent, Democrat Bill Bradley. Beginning with how Bell fares against his current opponent, the poll finds that Booker’s lead remains formidable at 56 to 40 percent, with Booker outpacing Bell’s favorables by an almost two-to-one margin (57% versus 29%, respectively). Despite Bell’s history in New Jersey politics, voters remain unsure of their opinion of him (49%). “Since the interviews were done more than two weeks out from the election, numbers are certainly likely to change. But a lead of this magnitude is good news for the incumbent Senator,” said Krista Jenkins, director of the poll and professor of political science. “It’s not a political environment that’s particularly warm for incumbents, but it looks like Booker has little to be worried about as the campaign season draws to a close.” The same poll finds that Bell polls worse now than 35 years ago when he first ran for a New Jersey U.S. Senate seat and lost. In a hypothetical rematch between Bell and then-competitor Bradley today, PublicMind pegs him at 36 percent whereas in 1978 he wound up with 43 percent of the vote.

HECTOR P. GARCIA: A STUDY IN CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION LEADERSHIP A Thesis by ROSANA VANESSA GOMEZ PACHON This thesis meets the standards for scope and quality of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and is hereby approved. Anantha Babbili, PhD Michelle M. Maresh-Fuehrer, PhD Chair Co-Chair May 2020 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to investigate the communication leadership styles of Dr. Hector P. Garcia, a Mexican American leader in the United States. Dr. Garcia is best known for founding the American G.I. Forum social movement with a mission to protect and defend veterans’ and Hispanic Americans’ civil rights by providing access to education, health, and employment. Trait, skills, and emotional intelligence leadership styles are applied using a critical rhetorical approach. Dr. Garcia’s leadership style is a reference to analyze, understand, and apply the different concepts, theories, and approaches concerning effective leadership. The results of this study demonstrate that Dr. Hector P. Garcia was a transformational and servant leader who used charismatic and authentic communication to build a relationship with followers. These findings illustrate how Dr. Garcia used different tools of persuasion such as ethos, logos, pathos, and civic spaces to deliver and engage in communication with his followers.

The Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press Poll finds the state’s junior senator enjoys growing approval ratings while the field of potential Republican opponents is largely unknown. Currently, 47% of New Jersey voters approve of the job Booker is doing as U.S. Senator compared to just 20% who disapprove. Another 32% have no opinion. In December, his job rating stood at 37% approve to 21% disapprove and 43% with no opinion. Booker took office in October, shortly after winning a special election to fill the remainder of the late Frank Lautenberg’s term. Booker garners solid ratings among his fellow Democrats (66% approve to 9% disapprove), generally positive ratings among independents (41% approve to 23% disapprove), and negative ratings among GOP voters (24% approve to 39% disapprove). “New Jersey voters are just getting to know Cory Booker as their Senator and generally giving him positive reviews,” said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute. “They feel they have seen enough to say he deserves a full term.” A majority (55%) of Garden State voters say that Booker should be re-elected to the U.S.
