  • Libertarian Party of Nevada Hosted "Speed Dating" Events Over 2 Days at Different Venues in Las Vegas
    Endorsement Committee This year, we formed an Endorsement Committee comprised of 18 members plus additional Libertarian leadership; the “Committee.” The Committee members conducted their own independent research on each of the candidates and asked them questions at our events. The Committee members took notes and made recommendations on grades and endorsements. Endorsement Committee Chair: Jason Weinman Committee Members: Jason G Smith Jim Duensing Jason Nellis Lesley Chan John McCormack JD Smith Lou Pombo Brady Bowyer Scott Lafata Tim Hagan Brett H. Pojunis Brandon Ellyson Debra Dedmon Nick Klein Andrew Lea Ross Williams Tarina Dark Steve Brown Format - Why "Speed Dating?" The Libertarian Party of Nevada hosted "Speed Dating" events over 2 days at different venues in Las Vegas. The goal was to meet as many candidates as possible in a format similar to speed dating. LPNevada endorsed Candidates in non‐partisan races and graded Candidates in partisan races for the 2014 General Elections. Most organizations do not get one‐on‐one interaction with the candidates; we felt this is important. Endorsements and Grading Non‐Partisan candidates received either a positive (thumbs up) or negative (thumbs down) endorsement from the Committee. Partisan Candidates received a grade of 1 to 5 stars. Candidates who received 1 star were not very Libertarian and candidates who received 5 stars were very good in regards to their position on issues important to Libertarians. The Libertarian Party of Nevada has the following 15 Candidate on the 2014 Ballot. Adam Sanacore, Assembly District 21 Lou Pombo, Assembly District 37 Chris Dailey, White Pine County Commission Louis Gabriel, Assembly District 32 Donald W.

  • New Leadership for Hawai'i and Prospects for Policy Change
    New Leadership for Hawai‘i and Prospects for Policy Change Todd L. Belt1 University of Hawai‘i at Hilo Colin D. Moore University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Introduction Hawai‘i’s slow economic recovery continued throughout 2014. Despite the improving eco- nomic news, voters ousted their brash and combative sitting governor Neil Abercrombie in the Democratic primary. The humble, unassuming state Senator David Ige rolled to a general elec- tion victory. The new governor, an electrical engineer by training and a veteran chair of the Sen- ate Ways and Means Committee, looked to bring less in terms of policy change and more in terms of approach to governance. Governor Ige was inaugurated on December 1, 2014, and his biennial budget was released on December 22. The original request reflected a status-quo budget prepared by the outgoing Aber- crombie administration. In late January 2015, Ige’s administration put together an amended budget that slightly increased budgetary requests based on expected revenue increases. Recalling the previous years’ experience of overestimated revenues, the legislature passed a conservative budget largely similar to the governor’s budget request with few alterations or new programs. State of the Economy Through 2015, economic recovery in Hawai‘i remained slow, with GDP growth since 2010 at or a bit below two percent per year (DBEDT 2015a). Unemployment continued its downward trend since its high of 7.1 percent in September of 2009. As of the end of the legislative session in May of 2015, the rate stood at 3.9 percent, still a bit above its historical average during better times (see Figure 1).

Although interest in health policy has not returned to the fever pitch of 2009, when the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was under debate, health care issues are more visible than in recent sessions thanks to greater attention on the cost of health coverage and hot-button social issues. That interest, coupled with budgetary pressures and the politics of a presidential election year, make the 2016 session one to watch. The General Assembly remains under split control, with Legislators are asking Democrats holding a three-seat majority in the House themselves who their base and Republicans maintaining a one-seat advantage voters are at a time when in the Senate.
