  • 1605026 NY Spotlight Memo
    ! MEMORANDUM TO: Interested Parties FROM: Alixandria Lapp, Executive Director, House Majority PAC DATE: May 26, 2016 RE: Congressional Democrats Poised for Pick-Ups Across the Empire State With just over a month until New York’s June 28 congressional primaries, and just under six months from the November general election, Democrats are poised for significant pick-ups in congressional districts across the Empire State. This year Democrats are overwhelmingly on offense in New York – with at least six Republican held seats that could be flipped this November. Multiple Republican incumbents and challengers are finding their already-precarious political prospects diminishing even further as they struggle with a damaging party brand, a toxic presidential ticket-mate, and increasingly prove themselves out of touch with their own districts. Bottom line: With New York’s congressional Republicans increasingly vulnerable heading into the fall, Democrats are overwhelmingly on offense and well-positioned to win key districts across the state in 2016. New York Republicans Tied to Toxic Brand As in any presidential year, down-ballot races will be heavily shaped by the top of the ticket. For Republicans, particularly in New York, that’s bad news. Even before the GOP presidential race took shape, New York’s congressional Republicans faced significant structural political challenges. In six competitive Republican-held districts, President Obama either won or came within 1% of winning in 2008 and 2012. Now with Donald Trump as their presidential ticket-mate, down-ballot prospects for New York Republicans are far worse. Earlier this month, a poll by Morning Consult found that nearly half of all Americans would “be less likely to support candidates for public office if they say they back Donald Trump.” And despite Donald Trump’s big win in New York’s presidential primary, there’s no indication that it will translate to success in November.

  • Voters: Climate Change Is Real Threat; Want Path to Citizenship for Illegal Aliens; See Themselves As 2Nd Amendment Supporters; Divided on Obamacare & Fed Govt
    SIENA RESEARCH INSTITUTE SIENA COLLEGE, LOUDONVILLE, NY www.siena.edu/sri For Immediate Release: Tuesday, September 27, 2016 Contact: Steven Greenberg (518) 469-9858 Crosstabs; website/Twitter: www.Siena.edu/SRI/SNY @SienaResearch Time Warner Cable News / Siena College 19th Congressional District Poll: Game On: Faso 43 Percent, Teachout 42 Percent ¾ of Dems with Teachout, ¾ of Reps with Faso; Inds Divided Voters: Climate Change Is Real Threat; Want Path to Citizenship for Illegal Aliens; See Themselves as 2nd Amendment Supporters; Divided on Obamacare & Fed Govt. Involvement in Economy Trump Leads Clinton by 5 Points; Schumer Over Long by 19 Points Loudonville, NY. The race to replace retiring Republican Representative Chris Gibson is neck and neck, as Republican John Faso has the support of 43 percent of likely voters and Democrat Zephyr Teachout has the support of 42 percent, with 15 percent still undecided, according to a new Time Warner Cable News/Siena College poll of likely 19th C.D. voters released today. Both have identical 75 percent support among voters from their party, with independents virtually evenly divided between the two. By large margins, voters say climate change is a real, significant threat; want a pathway to citizenship for aliens here illegally; and, consider themselves 2nd Amendment supporters rather than gun control supporters. Voters are closely divided on Obamacare, supporting its repeal by a small four-point margin, and whether the federal government should increase or lessen its role to stimulate the economy. In the race for President, Donald Trump has a 43-38 percent lead over Hillary Clinton, while Chuck Schumer has a 55-36 percent lead over Wendy Long in the race for United States Senator.

  • Andrew Heaney the Political Landscape NY-19
    The Candidate: Andrew Heaney Andrew is a young small business owner recruited by the Party leadership in his county to run for this office, there is wide support and enthusiasm within the party for his candidacy. The number one issue facing the 19th Congressional District is economic growth and job creation. Andrew's success as a small business owner and intimate knowledge of the tax code and regulatory environment make him the best candidate to help grow the local economy. Despite being an outsider Andrew has strong connections to a committed national donor base. Andrew’s father in law, Larry Bathgate, was RNC Finance Chair for both Presidents Reagan and Bush 41. Leslie Heaney has taken a leadership role in the campaign overall, but especially with respect to finance. Beating the Democrat will be expensive. Andrew outraised everybody in NYS - both incumbent and candidates and ranked among the top ten nationally. In the first two filing quarters of his campaign Andrew has outpaced Faso raising over $1million. Choosing to forgo the insider designation process, heavily favoring career politicians like Faso; the Heaney campaign is taking its message directly to the people and is the first campaign on the airwaves throughout the district. The Political landscape NY-19 Like national Republicans, GOP voters in 19th Congressional District are fed up with politicians, all politicians - and want an outsider to change the culture in Washington. The outsider anti-establishment candidacies of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are strong in New York. A February 8, 2016 Siena Poll shows Donald Trump with34% while Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz each have the support of 16% The Cook Political Report designates the 19th district as one of 12 out of 435 nationally that is designated as a Republican swing district, which means without a great GOP candidate, the Republicans will lose this seat.

Alabama – no competitive races___________________________________________ Alaska_________________________________________________________________ Governor OPEN SEAT – incumbent Frank Murkowski (R) lost in primary and was anti-fair trade. As senator, Murkowski had a 100% anti-fair trade voting record. 9 GOP Sarah Palin’s trade position is unknown. • Democratic challenger Tony Knowles is a fair trader. In 2004, Knowles ran against Lisa Murkowski for Senate and attacked her for voting for NAFTA-style trade deals while in the Senate, and for accepting campaign contributions from companies that off-shore jobs.1 Arizona________________________________________________________________ Senate: Incumbent GOP Sen. Jon Kyl. 9 Kyl is anti-fair trade. Has a 100% anti-fair trade record. • Jim Pederson (D) is a fair trader. Pederson came out attacking Kyl’s bad trade record in closing week of campaign, deciding to make off-shoring the closing issue. On Nov. 3 campaign statement: “Kyl has repeatedly voted for tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas, and he has voted against a measure that prohibited outsourcing of work done under federally funded contracts,” said Pederson spokesman Kevin Griffis, who added that Pederson “wants more protections [in trade pacts] related to child labor rules and environmental safeguards to help protect U.S. jobs.”2 House Arizona 1: GOP Rep.

  • URGENT: Call to Stop Medicaid Cuts!
    June 21, 2017 URGENT: Call to Stop Medicaid Cuts! Medicaid funds 90% of NYS supports and services for people with developmental disabilities – including residential and adult day services, respite, community habilitation, certain special education costs, as well as medical services. Medicaid funds are in serious jeopardy: The U.S. House of Representatives already passed their version of the American Health Care Act (AHCA), which would cut Medicaid by $880 BILLION over the next 10 years. The U.S. Senate is poised to pass a similar bill that would cut and cap Medicaid. After the Senate passes its version, it may send it to the House for a vote. We have heard that the secret Senate AHCA version is 80% of the House AHCA bill with additional Medicaid cuts! If the AHCA were enacted, the #bFair2DirectCare funding would be eliminated and some services for people with developmental disabilities would likely be cut back or eliminated altogether. Cuts would worsen the existing crisis in recruiting and retaining direct support staff. Without sufficient staff, people with disabilities would not be safe. NY Senators Schumer and Gillibrand already oppose AHCA, but many of our NYS Representatives support it. We need to explain to these Representatives that Medicaid cuts would be disastrous for people with developmental disabilities. Please Make 7 Quick Calls Immediately! Call the following Representatives. Tell them: My name is _____________ I am the parent/relative/friend of a person with developmental disabilities. I am calling to ask you to oppose any legislation that would cut or cap Medicaid. Medicaid funds 90% of essential services for people with developmental disabilities.
