Transcripts for website edited by members of Historical League, Inc. Original tapes are in the collection of the Arizona Historical Society Museum Library at Papago Park, Tempe, Arizona. WJ: Today it is our pleasure to interview Senator Barry Goldwater about his remembrances of Phoenix. Senator Goldwater, what is the first thing you can remember as a child about this city? BG: Well, this may seem strange to you, but the first thing I can remember was the marriage of Joe Meltzer, Sr. because I was the ring bearer. It was being held at the old Women’s Club at Fillmore, which was about Fillmore and First Avenue. I remember I was only about four years old, standing outside waiting for the telegraph boy to bring a message saying that President Taft had signed us into statehood. It was Joe Meltzer’s determination to be the first man married in the State of Arizona. Sure enough, I can still see that dust coming up old unpaved First Avenue with the messenger with the telegram. Then we marched in and had the wedding. WJ: That’s interesting. I interviewed Mr. Meltzer and he told me that story from his perspective.

It's great to be back here. Remember, you cannot win unless you get the State of Ohio. Remember that? I heard that so many times. "You need the State of Ohio; therefore Trump can't win." I think we won by 9 points. What did we win by? Nine? We're winning. We're going to keep winning. I love this State. I worked here. During a summer, I worked here, and I loved it. Cincinnati. We like Cincinnati. Right? [Applause] We like Cincinnati. And this November, we're going to win really big. It's going to be one big Ohio family, as we've had. Special place. Helping us to achieve that victory will be our incredible Ohio GOP Chairwoman—a really incredible person and friend of mine—Jane Timken. Thank you, Jane. Great to be with you, Jane. Great job. This is your record—alltime. This is the all—that's not bad. You know, it is Ohio. All-time record. I'd say that's pretty good. We're also joined tonight by RNC Cochairman Bob Paduchik, who also ran my campaign in Ohio. And I want to tell you, he did an awfully good job. He did a great job. Thank you, Bob. Fantastic.

  • Ethnic Community, Party Politics, and the Cold War: the Political Ascendancy of Miami Cubans, 1980–2000
    The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 23 (2012) Ethnic Community, Party Politics, and the Cold War: The Political Ascendancy of Miami Cubans, 1980–2000 Hideaki KAMI* INTRODUCTION Analysis of the implications of the rapidly growing Latino/Hispanic electorate for future U.S. political life is a relatively new project for his- torians and political scientists.1 Indeed, the literature on Latino politics has long considered their political underrepresentation as the central issue for research. Many scholars in the field have sought to explain how the burden of historical discrimination and antagonistic attitudes toward immigrants has discouraged these minorities from taking part in U.S. politics. Their studies have also explored how to overcome low voter turnout among Latinos and detect unfavorable institutional obstacles for voicing their opinions in government.2 However, partly due to previous academic efforts, the 1990s and 2000s have witnessed U.S. voters of Hispanic origin solidifying their role as a key constituency in U.S. pol- itics. An increasing number of politicians of Hispanic origin now hold elective offices at local, state, and national levels. Both the Republican and Democratic Parties have made intensive outreach efforts to seize the hearts and minds of these new voters, particularly by broadcasting spe- cific messages in Spanish media such as Univision.3 Although low *Graduate student, University of Tokyo and Ohio State University 185 186 HIDEAKI KAMI turnout among Latino voters and strong anti-immigrant sentiments among many non-Latino voters persist, the growing importance of the Latino electorate during the presidential elections has attracted increas- ing attention from inside and outside academic circles.4 Hence, in 2004, political scientist Rodolfo O.

  • Chairman Andrew Hitt Teamed with Conservative Leaders Across The
    Chairman Andrew Hitt teamed with conservative leaders across the state to rebuild the Republican Party of Wisconsin after the devastating statewide losses of 2018 — providing a face for the Wisconsin GOP in a turbulent time and turning around party operations to prepare for the next generation of conservative reformers in 2022 and beyond. “We had to lay the foundation for future success at a time when the party had lost a number of statewide leaders in 2018 and faced a challenging and complex 2020 cycle, and I am grateful for the opportunity and trust Republican leaders placed in me to rebuild the party from the ground up. With races for governor, U.S. Senate, and attorney general on the way, our party is rebuilt, strong, and ready to take on an increasingly liberal Democrat Party that is failing us in Washington and here at home.” — Chairman Andrew Hitt Rebuilding the Republican Party of Wisconsin for the future required a new grassroots strategy, winning crucial races on the local and state level, defeating the liberal agenda in the courts, creating the infrastructure to reach new voters, and steadily preparing party operations for the challenges ahead. Highlights of the Republican Party Rebuild: Grassroots Resources: Overhauled the Republican Party of Wisconsin’s grassroots organizing strategy, increasing training, resources, and support that contributed to unprecedented election victories on the local level, strongly red near supermajorities in the state Legislature in 2020, and the most Republican votes ever won in a presidential year. Local Candidate Initiative: Helped elect conservatives to nearly 60 percent of the local offices targeted in 2020 — often in Democrat strongholds — and laid the groundwork for a future statewide resurgence from the ground up.

  • The Invisible Primary and the 1996 Presidential Nomination
    The Invisible Primary and the 1996 Presidential Nomination Thomas R. Marshall, University of Texas at Arlington The 1996 presidential nominations process will not begin with the first state primaries and caucuses. By January 1996 the candidates had already spent millions of dollars and thousands of days campaigning during the "in­ visible primary." The 1996 nominations race features several new prac­ tices—such as the front-loading of delegate-selection events, and the re- emergence of Washington insiders as the early GOP leaders. For the first time since 1964 the Democrat Party did not face a spirited nominations race. This article reviews the prenomination season for the 1996 presidential race with evidence available by early January 1996. Public Opinion Public opinion remained relatively stable during the 1995 "invisible primary," just as it typically has in recent presidential contests.1 Heavy spending in key primary and caucus states, debates among the candidates, and the entry and exit of candidates all failed to move public opinion polls during 1995. In the absence of saturation media coverage and media labeling of "winners" and "losers" in the early caucuses and primaries, few dramatic poll shifts appeared. The Republicans Throughout 1995, the Gallup Poll reported only slight changes in the first-choice preferences of self-identified Republicans and independents leaning Republicans. Between April 1995 and January 1996, front-runner Bob Dole’s support varied only from a low of 45 percent to a high of 51 percent. Support for Senator Phil Gramm varied only from a low of seven percent to a high of 13 percent.

  • Waltz Florida Dems PPP Letter (/Uploadedfiles/Waltzsba FDP PPP)
    October 8, 2020 The Honorable Hannibal “Mike” Ware Inspector General U.S. Small Business Administration 409 3rd Street SW Washington, D.C. 20416 Dear Inspector General Ware: The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. Congress intended the program to provide relief to America’s small businesses quickly, and demand for the program was extraordinary: PPP lenders approved more than 1.6 million loans totaling more than $342 billion in the program’s first two weeks, according to your office.1 The Small Business Administration subsequently released data that shows a political organization may have taken advantage of the program’s expedited nature to obtain funds for which they were ineligible. Specifically, the data show a Democrat-affiliated political organization in Florida applied for and received PPP funds, contrary to the intent of Congress that the program should support small businesses, non-profits, veterans’ organizations, and tribal concerns. The Small Business Administration issued regulations that specifically prohibit “businesses primarily engaged in political or lobbying activities” from receiving PPP loans.2 Despite this restriction, the Florida Democratic Party (FDP) applied for and received a PPP loan worth $780,000.3 The details of the FDP loan application raise serious questions as to whether the applicant intentionally misled the Small Business Administration in order to obtain PPP funds. FDP filed its application under the identity of a non-profit organization called the “Florida Democratic Party Building Fund, Inc.” The Florida Democratic Party Building Fund, Inc. is a separate legal entity from the Florida Democratic Party, but Florida state records show the party formed the not-for-profit corporation in April of 2019 to construct, own or operate “the headquarters of the state executive committee of the Florida Democratic Party and related political organizations.”4 Documents show the Florida Democratic Party Building Fund, Inc.

  • The Democratic Party in 1862
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES PROGRAM “With No Time To Wrangle and Quarrel Amongst Themselves” The Pennsylvania Democracy During the Civil War KRISTEN CAMPBELL Spring 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in History with honors in History Reviewed and approved* by the following: Dr. William Blair Liberal Arts Professor, U.S. History Director, George and Ann Richards Civil War Era Center Thesis Supervisor Dr. Catherine Wanner Professor of History, Anthropology and Religious Studies Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College ABSTRACT This thesis examines the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania during the Civil War as a test case for assessing the group’s ideals and influence on politics. Scholarship on the Democratic Party during war years typically has focused on the people known as the Copperheads, or Peace Democrats. Prior studies have considered this wing of the party to be a loyal opposition by people with justifiable constitutional concerns, whose influence was often exaggerated by Republicans for political reasons. More recent work on the anti-war movement argues that the Peace Democrats were influential and that the anti-war movement was driven by opposition to local issues. This thesis expands on these ideas. Unlike earlier studies, it finds that the Democracy was more than a monolithic party that opposed the war, but a party deeply polarized by different opinions on war and peace from 1860 through 1864. The Pennsylvania Democracy was composed of both War and Peace Democrats, each inspired by larger political ideology on civil liberties, the extent of federal power, and local issues.
