GOVERNORS The National Mood and the Seats in Play: Understanding the 2016 Gubernatorial Elections By Jennifer M. Jensen and Thad Beyle With a national anti-establishment mood and 12 gubernatorial elections—eight in states with a Democrat as sitting governor—the Republicans were optimistic that they would strengthen their hand as they headed into the November elections. Republicans already held 31 governor- ships to the Democrats’ 18—Alaska Gov. Bill Walker is an Independent—and with about half the gubernatorial elections considered competitive, Republicans had the potential to increase their control to 36 governors’ mansions. For their part, Democrats had a realistic chance to convert only a couple of Republican governorships to their party. Given the party’s win-loss potential, Republicans were optimistic, in a good position. The Safe Races North Dakota Races in Delaware, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah Republican incumbent Jack Dalrymple announced and Washington were widely considered safe for he would not run for another term as governor, the incumbent party. opening the seat up for a competitive Republican primary.

A legendary performer and global ambassador for his hometown of New Orleans, he won six Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Hall of Fame—but how many people have Muppets created in their image? At least Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem play on. SEC approves Regulation Best Interest, Form CRS At a long-anticipated meeting on Wednesday, the Securities and Exchange Commission voted 3-1 to approve a package of rules and guidance establishing the obligations of investment advisers and brokers to their customers. Regulation Best Interest (BI) goes beyond previous “suitability” standards for investment brokers to ban certain practices and address elements of the broker-customer relationship including cost considerations and conflicts in broker compensation. Form CRS is a streamlined disclosure document to provide retail customers with information about fees, costs, services, conflicts of interest, the applicable standards of conduct, and any previous legal or disciplinary history. The Commission also approved an interpretation that updates and clarifies the standards of conduct for investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and an interpretation of the “solely incidental” aspect of the broker-dealer exclusion under the Investment Advisers Act, intended to offer clearer guidance about when a broker- dealer’s activities cross the threshold to become investment advice.

We know that much more needs to be done and we look forward to our continued work with you to respond to this crisis together. As COVID-19 continues to impact both urban and rural communities, we are gravely concerned about the compromised digital access that now threatens entire communities, and people’s livelihoods, educational access, quality of healthcare and lives. Our rural communities are particularly less prepared to mitigate the pandemic itself and adapt to what will certainly be a different world in a post-COVID economy, in large part because of the lack of access to broadband. Some 18 million Americans lack access to broadband internet connectivity, 14 million of whom reside in rural America. In today’s economy these communities, businesses and families without adequate access are left behind, and the consequences are staggering from an economic, health, education, and social standpoint. Broadband is not a luxury, but rather critical infrastructure that’s vitally important to our economic future and national security.

    The Protection of Missouri Governors Has Come a Long Way Since 1881, When Governor Thomas Crittenden Kept a .44-Caliber Smith and Wesson Revolver in His Desk Drawer

    GOVERNOR’S SECURITY DIVISION The protection of Missouri governors has come a long way since 1881, when Governor Thomas Crittenden kept a .44-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver in his desk drawer. He had offered a $5,000 reward for the arrest and delivery of Frank and Jesse James, and kept the weapon handy to guard against retaliation. In less than a year, Jesse James had been killed, and in October 1882, Frank James surrendered, handing his .44 Remington revolver to Governor Crittenden in the governor’s office. In 1939, eight years after the creation of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, several troopers were assigned to escort and chauffeur Governor Lloyd Stark, and provide security at the Governor’s Mansion for the first family following death threats by Kansas City mobsters. Governor Stark had joined federal authorities in efforts to topple political boss Tom Pendergast. Within a year, Pendergast and 100 of his followers were indicted. In early 1963, Colonel Hugh Waggoner called Trooper Richard D. Radford into his office one afternoon. He told Tpr. Radford to report to him at 8 a.m. the following morning in civilian clothes. At that time, he would accompany Tpr. Radford to the governor’s office. The trooper was introduced to Governor John Dalton and was assigned to full-time security following several threats. Since security for the governor was in its infancy, Tpr. Radford had to develop procedures as he went along. There was no formal protection training available at this time, and the only equipment consisted of a suit, concealed weapon, and an unmarked car.
