    STATE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH 2004 Legislative Elections By Tim Storey Before launching into the analysis of the 2004 state legislative elections, it is instructive to go back two years to the last major legislative elections. The year 2002 was a banner year for the Republican Party in legislatures; they seized eight legislative chambers and claimed bragging rights by taking the majority of legislative seats nationwide for the first time in 50 years. When it comes to state legislatures, Democrats Control of Legislative Seats bounced back big in 2004 despite their defeat at the Perhaps the parity in state legislatures is best top of the ticket where George Bush extended his understood by looking at the total number of seats stay in the White House by defeating John Kerry by held by each party.

  • Iowa Legislative Alert

    Iowa Legislative Alert

    IOWA LEGISLATIVE ALERT Issue: The Iowa Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition will hold a Lobbying Workshop and legislator visit on February 22nd, 2017. Points of Contact: Using the list attached to this alert, along with the action alert, contact your elected Representative and Senator. Others that are helpful to contact: • House Speaker: Linda Upmeyer, R-Clear Lake: [email protected] • House Majority Leader: Chris Hagenow, R-Windsor Heights: [email protected] • House Minority Leader: Mark Smith, D-Marshalltown: [email protected] • Senate President: Jack Whitver, R-Ankeny: [email protected] • Senate Majority Leader: Bill Dix, R-Shell Rock: [email protected] • Senate Minority Leader: Robert Hogg, D-Cedar Rapids: [email protected] Analysis Iowa law licenses dietitians for the providing of nutrition assessment, goal setting, counseling, or advice. There is an exemption in the law for licensed physicians and surgeons, nurses, chiropractors, dentists, dental hygienists, pharmacists or physical therapists that make dietetic or nutritional assessments, or give dietetic or nutritional advice in the normal practice of their profession or as otherwise authorized by law. However there is no such exemption for holistic nutrition professionals. The Iowa Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition will be holding a Lobbying Workshop along with meetings with key legislators. Recommendations We should politely disrupt the legislative day and urge policymakers to consider finding ways to open up the practice of nutrition. Specifically, we should call attention to parts of the law that are anticompetitive, and encourage them to investigate whether licensure of dietetics prevents competition, by creating a monopoly for a single profession.
  • Prayer Practices

    Prayer Practices

    Floor Action 5-145 Prayer Practices Legislatures operate with a certain element of pomp, ceremony and procedure that flavor the institution with a unique air of tradition and theatre. The mystique of the opening ceremonies and rituals help to bring order and dignity to the proceedings. One of these opening ceremonies is the offering of a prayer. Use of legislative prayer. The practice of opening legislative sessions with prayer is long- standing. The custom draws its roots from both houses of the British Parliament, which, according to noted parliamentarian Luther Cushing, from time ”immemorial” began each day with a “reading of the prayers.” In the United States, this custom has continued without interruption at the federal level since the first Congress under the Constitution (1789) and for more than a century in many states. Almost all state legislatures still use an opening prayer as part of their tradition and procedure (see table 02-5.50). In the Massachusetts Senate, a prayer is offered at the beginning of floor sessions for special occasions. Although the use of an opening prayer is standard practice, the timing of when the prayer occurs varies (see table 02-5.51). In the majority of legislative bodies, the prayer is offered after the floor session is called to order, but before the opening roll call is taken. Prayers sometimes are given before floor sessions are officially called to order; this is true in the Colorado House, Nebraska Senate and Ohio House. Many chambers vary on who delivers the prayer. Forty-seven chambers allow people other than the designated legislative chaplain or a visiting chaplain to offer the opening prayer (see table 02-5.52).

    Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC Freedom Starts Here 2018 VOTER’S GUIDE Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC 2018 Voter’s Guide What’s At Stake In The 2018 Elections Elections matter. We only have to look back a few years to see what the difference is between having a Pro-Second Amendment majority and having anti-gunners in charge in Des Moines. We spent years passing good gun bills in the Iowa House only to see them die in committee in Mike Gronstal and Rob Hogg’s Senate. The Iowa Firearms Coalition (IFC) went to work in 2016 and helped flip the Iowa Senate. What difference did it make? In 2017, Iowa passed the most significant Pro-Second Amendment bill in Iowa history. HF-517 accomplishments include: • Short Barreled Rifles/Shotguns • Permit Privacy • Preemption • Stand Your Ground • Emergency Powers • Capitol Carry • Supervised Youth Handgun Shooting • Permit Renewal Improvements • Uniform Permit Format In 2018, we took the first steps necessary to recognize - under strict scrutiny - the right to keep and bear arms into the Iowa Constitution. These successes only happened “ because of the support and “ activism of people like you! Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC 2018 Voter’s Guide Not everyone was happy with these improvements in Iowa law. In fact, we saw an unprecedented number of gun-control proposals made in the Iowa Legislature during the last General Assembly. Anti-gun bills included: • HF-2145 Reverts to “May Issue” Weapons Permits • HF-2181 Imposes a ban on private firearm transfers • HF-2180 Extreme Risk Protective Orders • SF-2025 Gun Free Zone Enforcement • HF-157 Semiautomatic Assault Weapon Ban These ridiculous gun-control measures never saw the floor for debate because the anti-gunners didn’t control either chamber.

    Grassley up 9 Points in Iowa Senate Race, Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll Finds; Bennet Swamping Gop Challenger in Colorado

    Peter A. Brown, Assistant Director (203) 535-6203 Tim Malloy, Assistant Director (203) 645-8043 Rubenstein Pat Smith (212) 843-8026 FOR RELEASE: AUGUST 18, 2016 GRASSLEY UP 9 POINTS IN IOWA SENATE RACE, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY SWING STATE POLL FINDS; BENNET SWAMPING GOP CHALLENGER IN COLORADO Incumbent U.S. Senators hold comfortable likely voter leads in reelection races in Colorado and Iowa, according to a Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll released today. In Colorado, first-term Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet is cruising to a second term with a 54 – 38 percent lead over El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn, his Republican challenger, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. Party loyalty trumps race as non-white likely voters go Democratic 64 – 22 percent, even though Glenn is black. White voters back the incumbent 53 – 41 percent. Bennet leads 96 – 1 percent among Democrats and 55 – 33 percent among independent voters. Republicans back Glenn 84 – 8 percent. Bennet leads 59 – 33 percent among women and 49 – 43 percent among men. “For first term Sen. Michael Bennet, the path to a second six years in DC may seem as clear as a crisp day in the Rockies, but there is still time for Darryl Glenn to summon enough support to win a Senate seat the GOP sorely needs,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. Iowa In Iowa, six-term Republican incumbent Sen. Chuck Grassley is holding off his Democratic challenger, former Lieutenant Gov. Patty Judge 51 – 42 percent. The challenger gets no bounce from women likely voters, who are divided, with 47 percent for the Democrat and 46 percent for the Republican.

The previous report included as its main focus a survey conducted by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) to other states that asked a variety of questions on electronic voting both in terms of equipment and legislative procedures. For purposes of this update, LSO again reached out to Ms. Brenda Erickson, a staff specialist knowledgeable in the areas of electronic voting and voting process and procedure from NCSL, to again conduct a survey related to process and procedure of other states related to electronic voting. Before engaging in a discussion of electronic voting systems, it is important to recognize that electronic voting systems are tools for facilitating legislative business. These systems are subject to legislative rules, processes and procedures. It is the implementation, and subsequent enforcement, of legislative rules and procedures related to voting process, not just the systems technology, which create accountability in the process.

  • Discriminatory Policing What the Bill Proposes

    Discriminatory Policing What the Bill Proposes

    SF 2173 & HF 2376: Discriminatory Policing What the Bill proposes: 1. Prohibits officers from engaging in discriminatory policing. 2. Creation of a Community Policing Advisory Board. 3. Requires officers to inform people of their right to file a complaint with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission if they believe they’ve been profiled. 4. Collect and analyze data. 5. Training law enforcement. Why the legislation is needed: • An ideal discriminatory policing bill should do the following things: 1) Define “profiling” in a comprehensive way that includes all impacted groups; 2) Require data collection that is based on officer perception of a person’s race, gender, age, and nationality; 3) Create an independent review board that can review and adjudicate individual complaints of racial profiling; and 4) Create a private right of action for individuals who believe they have been the victim of racial profiling. • Iowa is one of 20 states that doesn’t have a state law prohibiting discriminatory policing. The President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing and U.S. Department of Justice provided recommendation that law enforcement agencies prohibit profiling based on race, gender, national origin, religion, and sexual orientation. • Transparency and accountability improve police-community relations. Creating a system where data on law enforcement stops is collected and reported regularly and establishing a solution-driven advisory board are ways to enhance police accountability and transparency. • Profiling is an ineffective public safety tool. Stopping people based on race or other identity characteristics, rather than on evidence of criminal activity, misdirects limited resources away from evidence-based policing. Preventing profiling facilitates efficient pursuit of people who pose a threat to public safety.
