2020 PA Primary Developments & Notes Republican PA GOP House
2020 PA Primary Developments & Notes Republican PA GOP House and Senate Goals in November General Election: Although there are 17 Democratic-held seats in districts that Trump won, the release specifically pinpointed House Districts 33, 55, 72, and 123 as “just a few targets for Republicans” in the upcoming election. House Minority Leader Frank Dermody (D-Allegheny) represents the least Trump friendly district of those four targets, with the president carrying the 33rd state House District by 5 points over Sec. Hillary Clinton in 2016, according to DailyKos. Dermody’s closest reelection bid since the last two presidential elections was in 2014 when he fended off Republican Sean Watson by 6 points, according to Ballotpedia. Dermody is slated to face Carrie DelRosso, an Oakmont Borough Councilmember and businesswoman, for the seat in the fall. State Rep. Frank Burns (D-Cambria) represents the most Trump friendly district of the four targets with Trump winning the 72nd state House District by 43 points over Clinton in 2016. Burns’ closest reelection bid since the past two presidential elections was in 2018 when he edged out Republican Gerald Carnicella by 5 points, according to Ballotpedia. Burns will face Republican Howard Terndrup for his reelection bid in November. State Rep. Joe Petrarca’s (D-Westmoreland) 55th state House District is also very favorable to Trump with the president carrying his district by 33 points in 2016, according to DailyKos. Petrarca ran unopposed in 2018 and his closest reelection bid since the past two presidential elections was in 2012 when he defeated Republican John Hauser, although his 2016 victory over Republican Michael Geiselhart was a 13 point win, according to Ballotpedia.

University Integrations Public Comments Batch 2 (5/27/21
DATE PLAN GROUP OTHER COMMENT / SOURCE INFORMATION NAME (GROUP) 5/27/2021 5:56 Northeast Staff, I am very much supportive of the integration. I think it will provide needed changes in structure given the new climate of higher Ed, along with Plan Alumni/ increased opportunities for students throughout the triad. Donor However, I was so disappointed to hear that Recreation Management was not listed in the program array. I believe this is a mistake and does not support the working needs of PA (as almost all of our graduates stay in PA). These individuals staff YMCAs, youth programs, state parks, event centers, venues, and so much more. This program provides skills and necessary curriculum to make students successful in these fields. This program is filled with students who are truly passionate about their coursework and the prospect of bettering the future. This is the only program of its kind to be offered within the triad and Lock Haven University is the ideal location. With hard decisions to be made, I don’t doubt that we can take a harder look at programs and efficiencies, but I ask you to reconsider eliminating the Recreation Management program. I am confident by eliminating this program you will be doing this triad and the state a disservice. 5/27/2021 7:40 West Plan Alumni/ Auxiliary Please define Brand Identity" will remain in tact needs defined with examples and how the alumni can identify with that definition. Change is Donor, employee tough and specifics to how it relates to alumni (plaid, boro, logos, EUP, traditions) would be helpful.

According to Capitolwire, their work will primarily focus on trying "to figure out a way to finish off the state’s 2020-21 state budget (as well as appropriate $1.3 billion in federal CARES Act funding), of which there are seven months remaining to be addressed."

The $25.8 billion interim budget funded education for kindergarten to 12th grade at the same level as 2019-20, and it also fully funded colleges and universities, including Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education. The current two-year legislative comes to an end on November 30th. If a balanced buget is not settled upon by then, providers, grantees and others would be impacted. Senate Session & Committee Activity Senate Session Days | Watch Session Live | Senate Calendars | Senate Committee Meeting Schedule The Senate stands in recess until the call of the President Pro Tempore, but is presently scheduled to convene today and again Tuesday through Thursday.

Her design choices are steered by her own desire to be both fashionable and comfortable. “We as women probably take more upon ourselves than we should. When I was getting back on my feet, I felt that I was supposed to look a certain way. In reality, I just wanted to be comfortable. There’s no reason you can’t be comfortable and stylish at the same time.” Jennifer knows that in some peoples’ minds boutique equals pricey. “I know what it’s like to want to look nice, but say ‘Why in the world is this so expensive?’ I try to carry pieces that you can’t find in corporate stores, just to be different and unique, and I always try to keep it classy and up-to-date on the latest styles and trends. But I also try to keep it affordable. I don’t want people to be shy of coming in and to say, ‘I might as well not go in; I can’t afford it.’” Sottile Fashions, Brookline Blvd. The items in her store start in price from $19.99 and no piece Ray Feather Photography is more than $60.

Legislative Scorecard
2020 LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS 04 .........................................SCORING METHODOLOGY 05 ..................... LETTER FROM THE STATE DIRECTOR 06 .................................................... BILL DESCRIPTIONS 14 ............................................................... SENATE VOTES 18 ..................................................................HOUSE VOTES www.AmericansForProsperity.org/Pennsylvania 3 FELLOW PENNSYLVANIANS, Thank you for your interest in the 2019-2020 Americans for Prosperity- Pennsylvania (AFP-PA) Legislative Scorecard. Our goal with the scorecard is simple: to make the government more accountable to the people. People are capable of extraordinary things when provided with the freedom and opportunity to do so. Based on that belief, our team of dedicated staff and activists works tirelessly on the most pressing public policy issues of our time to remove barriers to opportunity to ensure that every Pennsylvanian can reach their full potential, and have the best shot at their unique version of the American Dream. Through continuous engagement, our grassroots activists across the Keystone State build connections between lawmakers and the constituents they serve to transform the key institution of government. It begins with welcoming everyday citizens that are motivated to join our charge so that we can elevate and amplify their voices in public policy—making them more powerful and influential than they could be on their own. It comes full circle when AFP-PA successfully mobilizes activists in support of principled policy leadership or to hold lawmakers accountable for harmful policies. It is about consistently pushing activists and lawmakers alike to be better and make a difference. From building diverse coalitions or providing lawmakers with the support they need to stand on principle, this approach has allowed our organization to emerge as a change-maker in the state.

April 21, 2020 Secretary Teresa Miller Pennsylvania Department Of
April 21, 2020 Secretary Teresa Miller Pennsylvania Department of Human Services 625 Forster Street Harrisburg, PA 17120 Dear Secretary Miller, Re: Safe Food Purchasing Options for SNAP Recipients As legislators, we understand the economic precariousness of our constituents since the onset of the COVID-19 outbreaks and that it has increased the need for people to access the SNAP benefits program to ensure food security. We understand the need for SNAP recipients to have safe access to groceries which would include access to online grocery shopping and delivery services. More than one-third of SNAP households include a family member who is an older adult or someone with a disability and many of these families rely on ride-sharing or public transportation options to go grocery shopping. Leaving their homes to make in-person payments or even using neighborhood volunteer-based buddy systems further increases the risk of contracting COVID-19 for an already at-risk population. We support DHS in submitting a waiver that allows SNAP benefit users to complete online grocery orders (and allow for home delivery service) so that they may adhere to the COVID-19 response guidelines outlined by the state government. This waiver will be a good start to supporting our most vulnerable population. Additionally, we encourage you to look ahead to broadening the options and abilities for using and accepting SNAP benefits. From across the Commonwealth, we hear concerns about the safety and security of local food growers and producers who keep our food supply safe and steady and the financial security of these industries that are considered essential.

March 29, 2021 Secretary Patrick McDonnell PA Department of Environmental Protection Rachel Carson State Office Building 400 Market Street Harrisburg, PA 17101 Dear Secretary McDonnell: As members of the Pennsylvania Legislative Climate Caucus, we appreciate PO Box 202155 the work of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to develop controls for VOC and methane emissions from oil and gas operations. As the Harrisburg, PA 17120 second largest natural gas producing state in the nation, and with emerging [email protected] acknowledgment by the industry that methane emissions need to be mitigated, Pennsylvania must take action to address this problem. For that reason, we are writing to urge you to strengthen DEP’s draft methane rule. As we work together to position Pennsylvania as a climate Co-Chairs leader, we need meaningful and comprehensive rules that will allow us to Senator Steve Santarsiero reach the greenhouse gas reduction goals of 26 percent by 2025 and 80 percent by 2050, from 2005 levels as outlined in Governor Wolf’s January Rep. Danielle Friel Otten 2019 Executive Order. Oil and gas development casts an extensive and still growing footprint across Vice Chairs our state. Whether it’s the tens of thousands of conventional wells that have been in operation for decades, the proliferation of unconventional wells and Senator Carolyn Comitta their vast network of associated infrastructure in more recent years, or the Rep. Nancy Guenst build-out of new natural gas generation facilities, oil and gas activity continues to climb, with no signs of slowing down. The reality is that wherever oil and gas are being drilled, compressed, processed, or sent Secretaries through pipelines, climate-warming methane is leaking and polluting our air.

S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.
