    Qtnugrrss uf tIr Unitcb Iatr% maalpugtrnz, 3Qt fl515 October 14, 2020 Mike Pompeo Alex Azar II Secretary of State Secretary of Health and Human Services Department of State Department of Health and Human Services 2201 C Street NW 301 7th St. SE Washington, D.C. 20520 Washington, D.C. 20229 Dear Secretary Pompeo and Secretary Azar: We write to express our serious concern over the Trump administration’s reckless approach to U.S.—international health cooperation that reversed long-standing successful policies advocated on a bipartisan basis by previous administrations. Your actions limited American cooperation with the European Union and removed American experts from the ground in China, where the outbreak began. This impeded the ability of American public health officials to receive timely and accurate information about the pandemic, delaying our response and likely costing American lives. We urge you to immediately reestablish common-sense cooperation with the global community and to explore additional measures that could further strengthen our domestic and international capacity to control the virus and save lives. The initial response to the COVID-19 outbreak by the Chinese government was demonstrably flawed and seriously problematic. However, prior to this outbreak, your Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) dramatically downsized the U.S.’ global epidemic prevention activities. This led to both the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health reducing U.S. personnel in China as well as the closure of the National Science Foundation office there. This deprived the U.S. of early and accurate information on the novel coronavirus outbreak and impeded our ability to prepare and respond.

  • July 31, 2020 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Chuck
    July 31, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Chuck Schumer Speaker Minority Leader House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC, 20515 Washington, DC, 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Schumer: Thank you for your leadership in securing necessary resources for communities and states in previous stimulus packages. In the midst of the nation’s most acute health care crisis in the last century, we must ensure everyone has guaranteed health care. Coupled with the historic levels of unemployment and economic instability, an estimated 5.4 million people around the country have lost their employer-based health insurance coverage, joining the roughly 30 million uninsured individuals at the outset of the crisis.1 Millions of people have fallen into the coverage gaps and cannot access Medicaid, COBRA, or the ACA marketplace. Allowing people to lose their health insurance in the midst of a public health pandemic is completely unacceptable. This is why we introduced H.R. 6674, The Medicare Crisis Program Act, to expand our country’s reliable and effective public health insurance programs to provide health security for our unemployed and uninsured. We must do more to ensure everyone has the health services they need. Therefore, we are writing to urge you to include the following key provisions from H.R. 6674, The Medicare Crisis Program Act, in the next stimulus package: ● Expand traditional Medicare to any uninsured person and their dependents who experienced a loss or reduction in employment during the COVID-19 crisis. In addition to expanded eligibility, H.R. 6674 includes expanded coverage under the Medicare program.

  • Calling on the Census Bureau
    September 3, 2020 Dr. Steven Dillingham Director United States Census Bureau 4600 Silver Hill Road Washington, DC 20233 Dear Dr. Dillingham: This letter is to inquire about the U.S. Census Bureau’s plans for accurately counting our country’s population in the 2020 Census. In California, nearly 15 percent of our residents remain uncounted, many in historically undercounted communities at risk of losing federal funding and resources. In light of the challenges created by COVID-19, the fires burning across California, and the recent decision to end counting operations early, we ask that you provide additional detail about how a complete count will be achieved. It is our understanding that with the shortened counting timeline, Census Bureau workers will need to visit 8 million more homes nationwide than in 2010, in just seven weeks instead of ten weeks. Data accuracy and review procedures for processing apportionment counts have also been reduced from six months to three months. Additional obstacles caused by COVID-19 include a higher number of people experiencing homelessness—an historically undercounted population—as well as difficulties with hiring and retention of census workers. Given these significant barriers to a fair and accurate census, we would appreciate answers to the following questions. With in-person counting operations cut short, the Census Bureau will likely need to utilize administrative records and statistical techniques to complete the enumeration. Do you now anticipate any changes in the number of households that will

I will certainly rely on Positioning Women to Win to guide me through the challenging issues that arise during my campaign for re-election.” – Governor Christine Gregoire “Winning an election can never be taken for granted. The Governors Guidebook series arms both incumbents and first- time challengers with the “do’s” and “don’ts” of effectively communicating your achievements and vision.

  • Most Corrupt: Representative Maxine Waters
    MOST CORRUPT: REPRESENTATIVE MAXINE WATERS Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) is an eleven-term member of Congress, representing California’s 35th congressional district. She is a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee. Rep. Waters’ ethics issues stem from a meeting she arranged between officials at the Department of Treasury and OneUnited Bank, a bank with which she has financial ties. In August 2010, an investigative subcommittee of the House Ethics Committee issued a Statement of Alleged Violation charging Rep. Waters with three counts of violating House rules and ethics regulations in connection with her actions regarding OneUnited. Later that year, however, the committee indefinitely postponed a scheduled ethics trial, citing the discovery of new evidence.1 In addition, news reports raised other questions about the conduct of the committee and its investigators during the Waters investigation, prompting an internal investigation that is still ongoing.2 Rep. Waters was included in CREW’s 2005 and 2006 congressional corruption reports for unrelated matters, and in CREW’s 2009 congressional corruption report for her actions regarding OneUnited.3 Intervention Between OneUnited and Treasury Officials Rep. Waters has close financial ties to OneUnited Bank, one of the largest black-owned banks in the country.4 In March 2004, she and her husband, Sidney Williams, each separately bought OneUnited stock worth between $250,001 and $500,000.5 Additionally, Mr. Williams maintained separate holdings at OneUnited worth between $250,001 and $500,000. In September 2004, Rep. Waters sold her stock in OneUnited, and her husband sold a portion of his 1 Due to serious questions about the actions of House Ethics Committee staff members involved in the Waters investigation, CREW in July 2011 called for an investigation of the House Ethics Committee and said there can be no confidence in the committee’s August 2010 Statement of Alleged Violation.

  • 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.
