  • August 10, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Steny
    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

  • 1 April 2, 2020 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House Of
    April 2, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives H-232, United States Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi: We are grateful for your tireless work to address the needs of all Americans struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, and for your understanding of the tremendous burdens that have been borne by localities as they work to respond to this crisis and keep their populations safe. However, we are concerned that the COVID-19 relief packages considered thus far have not provided direct funding to stabilize smaller counties, cities, and towns—specifically, those with populations under 500,000. As such, we urge you to include direct stabilization funding to such localities in the next COVID-19 response bill, or to lower the threshold for direct funding through the Coronavirus Relief Fund to localities with smaller populations. Many of us represent districts containing no or few localities with populations above 500,000. Like their larger neighbors, though, these smaller counties, cities, and towns have faced enormous costs while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. These costs include deploying timely public service announcements to keep Americans informed, rapidly activating emergency operations, readying employees for telework to keep services running, and more. This work is essential to keeping our constituents safe and mitigating the spread of the coronavirus as effectively as possible. We fear that, without targeted stabilization funding, smaller localities will be unable to continue providing these critical services to our constituents at the rate they are currently. We applaud you for including a $200 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund as part of H.R.

  • On Behalf of Republican Jim Bognet's Campaign for Congress In
    To: Interested Parties From: Ryan Munce, Co/Efficient Strategies; Barney Keller, Jamestown Associates Date: 10/15/20 Re: PA-8 Survey On behalf of Republican Jim Bognet’s campaign for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District , Co/Efficient Strategies conducted a survey of 615 Likely General Election Voters through IVR and Text from 10/13-10/14 with a margin of error of ±3.94%. The survey found: Ballot (Congressional) Jim Bognet 43 (34/40 Fav/Unfav) Matt Cartwright 48 (45/39 Fav/Unfav) Undecided 9 Ballot (Presidential) Regardless of whom you are voting for for President, President Donald Trump 46 who do you think more of your neighbors are voting for? Joe Biden 48 Trump 51 Jorgensen 3 Biden 34 Undecided 3 Undecided 16 Key Takeaways: • To date, Matt Cartwright has spent or reserved $1.9m on TV. The House Majority PAC/AFSCME has added $1.3m. Jim Bognet (including coordinated from NRCC) has spent $590k. House Majority PAC added to their buy this week. Jim Bognet has been outspent 5-1, but Matt Cartwright is STILL under 50% vote share, and Bognet only underperforms the President by 3. • Bognet’s messaging has begun to creep Cartwright’s unfavorable rating up. He is also now just 36/32 with independents. Conversely, Bognet outperforms his favorable rating by 9 points. • Because of small sample sizes, unique results in Pike County (NYC DMA) can skew results slightly. In the Co/Efficient survey, Bognet loses Pike County 51-42 to Cartwright. However: o In 2018, not a single Republican running for federal office in Pike County received less than 55% of the vote.

    pennsylvania currents Fall 2018 • The Clean Water Action Newsletter What’s at Stake in the 2018 Elections? Over the past two years, almost every major clean water protection, including the Clean Water Act, has been under assault by the federal government. And the November elections represent a chance for voters to let their elected representatives know their views on these attacks. And with state legislators in Harrisburg trying to outdo Washington in deregulating the oil and gas industry, who gets elected to Harrisburg matters more than ever. In 2018, there has been a real groundswell of candidates who have strong records of making environmental protection a priority at both the state and federal levels. Voters can ensure that representatives who will champion clean water and a healthy planet get elected. Top of the Ticket: Bob Casey for U.S. Senate and Tom Wolf for Governor Clean Water Action has endorsed Bob Casey for U.S. Senate and Tom Wolf for Governor in recognition of their strong records in support of environmental protection. Casey introduced the FRAC Act in the Senate to close the Halliburton Loophole, which has allowed oil and gas companies to hide from the public the toxic chemicals they are releasing. And since Trump’s election, Casey has been outspoken on the many anti-environmental actions by Trump and Scott Pruitt and Andrew Wheeler at EPA. By contrast Casey’s opponent, Lou Barletta, has an abysmal 0% environmental voting score as a member of the U.S. House. Bob Casey As Governor, Tom Wolf has voted for a permanent ban on fracking in the Delaware watershed, established a first ever reduction in methane emissions from gas wells and pipelines, and expanded state regulations on fracking, including a ban on open air frack pits which has been a major contamination source throughout the state.

  • September 18, 2020 the Honorable Alex Azar Secretary U.S
    September 18, 2020 The Honorable Alex Azar Secretary U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 200 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20201 Dear Secretary Azar: We are writing in support of Pennsylvania Governor Wolf’s letter of August 21, 2020, in which he raised concerns over the federal government’s actions to divert necessary COVID-19 testing supplies away from Pennsylvania. These actions—particularly the diversion of supplies and reagents manufactured by Hologic and Roche—have made it harder for hospitals and laboratories in our state to keep up with the demand for COVID-19 tests, thereby jeopardizing the progress Pennsylvania has made in curtailing the spread of this virus. We echo Governor Wolf’s concerns, and request your prompt attention to this matter. Pennsylvania was one of the earlier and harder-hit states in the pandemic. As of writing, the state has seen 148,683 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 7,934 deaths.1 While the daily reported numbers of new cases and deaths has decreased significantly from their peak in April, hundreds of new COVID-19 cases continue to appear each day. The state’s ongoing containment efforts will be severely hampered if adequate testing is not available. Hospitals across Pennsylvania have reported testing supply diversions or stoppages at the order of the White House, forcing providers who would normally be able to obtain COVID-19 test results within 24 to 48 hours to send specimens to outside laboratories, including Quest and LabCorp. This increases the risk of delays in getting test results to patients, which in turn increases the risk of continued viral transmission in Pennsylvania homes and communities.

  • Coalition Letter to PA Congressional Delegation Opposing President
    August 20, 2020 Dear Pennsylvania Members of Congress, President Trump’s recent executive order establishing a “Most Favored Nation” pricing model aims to impose severe price controls over the domestic healthcare industry, effectively allowing foreign nations to dictate American drug prices. This order would be devastating to one of the biopharmaceutical industry’s most important contributions – innovation. By imposing top-down mandates like foreign-based price controls, the federal government would limit biopharmaceutical companies’ ability to invest in the research and development of new, innovative treatments and cures. Given the continued presence of COVID-19, this outcome is clearly unacceptable. America’s biopharmaceutical companies are working at a break-neck pace to develop a safe and effective vaccine for COVID-19. At the same time, this executive order would also threaten thousands of American jobs – both direct company jobs and throughout the supply chain. This is an immense concern since the industry directly accounts for more than 811,000 jobs in the United States and supports a total of 4 million jobs. Consequently, we thoroughly oppose the proposed drug pricing executive order and strongly encourage ​ President Trump to abandon this approach. By imposing artificial foreign price controls, the executive order ​ undermines pharmaceutical companies’ capacity to invest in new, innovative solutions that patients need now. If President Trump wishes to effectively combat the COVID-19 infection and prepare for future pandemics, it will abandon this harmful policy. Together with our partners listed below, we urge you to think about the patients who depend on life-saving medicines and treatments and those who would be most affected by policies that thwart medical innovation.
