1 in the Shadow of Trump: How the 2016 Presidential Contest Affected
In the Shadow of Trump: How the 2016 Presidential Contest Affected House and Senate Primaries Prepared for the 2017 State of the Parties Conference, Akron, Ohio Robert G. Boatright, Clark University [email protected] The presidential race did not quite monopolize all of the uncivil or bizarre moments of the summer of 2016. One of the more interesting exchanges took place in Arizona in August of 2016, during the weeks before the state’s Senate primary election. Senator John McCain, always a somewhat unpredictable politician, has had difficulties in his last two primaries. Perhaps because he was perceived as having strayed too far toward the political center, or perhaps simply because his presidential bid had created some distance between McCain and Arizonans, he faced a vigorous challenge in 2010 from conservative talk show host and former Congressman J. D. Hayworth. McCain ultimately beat back Hayworth’s challenge, 56 percent to 32 percent, but only after a bitter campaign in which McCain spent a total of over $21 million and abandoned much of his “maverick” positioning and presented himself as a staunch conservative and a fierce opponent of illegal immigration (Steinhauer 2010). His task was made easier by his ability to attack Hayworth’s own checkered career in Congress. In 2016, McCain again faced a competitive primary opponent, physician, Tea Party activist, and two-term State Senator Kelli Ward. Ward, like Hayworth, argued that McCain was not conservative enough for Arizona. Ward was (and is), however, a decade younger than Hayworth, and her shorter tenure in political office made it harder for McCain to attack her.

1 Redistricting and Congressional Control Following the 2012 Election
Redistricting and Congressional Control Following the 2012 Election By Sundeep Iyer On Election Day, Republicans maintained control of the House of Representatives. While two Congressional races remain undecided as of November 20, it appears that Democrats may have picked up about eight seats during the 2012 election,1 falling well short of the 25 seats Democrats needed to take back control of the House. Before the election, the Brennan Center estimated that redistricting would allow Republicans to maintain long-term control of 11 more seats in the House than they would have under the previous district lines.2 Now that the election is complete, it is worth re-examining the influence of redistricting on the results of the 2012 election. This brief assesses how the new district lines affected the partisan balance of power in the House. The report is the prologue to more extensive analyses, which will examine other aspects of redistricting, including the fairness of the process and its effect on minority representation, among others. Based on our initial analysis of the 2012 election, several important trends emerge: • Redistricting may have changed which party won the election in at least 25 House districts. Because of redistricting, it is likely that the GOP won about six more seats overall in 2012 than they would have under the old district lines. • Where Republicans controlled redistricting, the GOP likely won 11 more seats than they would have under the old district lines, including five seats previously held by Democrats. Democrats also used redistricting to their advantage, but Republicans redrew the lines for four times as many districts as Democrats.

What Has Twenty-Five Years of Racial Gerrymandering Doctrine Achieved?
First to Printer_Pitts (Do Not Delete) 10/3/2018 11:00 AM What Has Twenty-Five Years of Racial Gerrymandering Doctrine Achieved? Michael J. Pitts* In 1993, Shaw v. Reno created a doctrine of racial gerrymandering that has now been in existence for twenty-five years. This Article examines the doctrine’s impact over that time—whether it has achieved the goals the Court set out for the doctrine in Shaw and whether it has had other consequences. This Article examines the doctrine’s impact through the lens of the place where the doctrine first took root and has been most heavily litigated over the last twenty-five years—North Carolina’s congressional districts. This Article also draws upon the existing empirical literature in its assessment of the doctrine’s impact. In so doing, this Article represents the first comprehensive assessment of the doctrine. Ultimately, the Article concludes that while more research could and should be done in this realm, racial gerrymandering doctrine does not appear to have achieved the goals the Court set out for it. In addition, the doctrine has likely had little additional impact other than to make districts more compact and cost state governments money for litigation and compliance. For these reasons, the Article concludes that the doctrine should be abandoned absent additional research documenting a systematically meaningful positive impact on American democracy.

Seeking Assistance from Elected Officials
SEEKING ASSISTANCE FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS J. Brett Keeter District Director Office of U.S. Congressman Patrick McHenry WHY CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSMAN OR SENATOR? 1. To advocate or express an opinion 2. To seek assistance Advocacy Q: Whose opinions do elected officials care about? A: The people who can vote them in or out of office! Contrary to popular cynicism, elected officials will give far more weight to opinions expressed by their constituents over those from outside their districts. Advocacy Advocacy Tips: - “Kitchen table letter” vs. boilerplate - Don’t rely on your national or state association or lobbyist to represent you - Remember, your elected officials have many competing priorities – you’re not the only important thing - Never make an enemy. The legislator that can’t help you on one particular issue may be your biggest ally on something else. Assistance •History of casework • Growth of Congressional Staff • Increase in Federal red tape • Approximately 200 open cases at any time • 1,500 – 2,000 cases disposed of per Congressional cycle (two years) What kinds of cases do we assist with?? Tracy Peek: David McCrary: Nancy Meek: • News Clippings • Citizenship and Immigration Services • Security • Front Desk and Phone Duties (CIS) • Academy Appointments (Academies) • Washington Visitors (Tours) • Department of Homeland Security (DHS) • Social Security Administration (SSA) • PMC Reference (Hickory DO) • General Services Administration (GSA) • Medicare (MEDICA) • Flag Requests (Flag) • Labor (DOL) • Railroad Retirement Board (RRB)

CCUL Grassroots Toolkit 2015
“Stop the Data Breaches” CCUL Grassroots Toolkit 2015 CCUL Grassroots Toolkit North Carolina CUNA, in partnership with state leagues, has launched a National Action Alert on Data Breach. Over the years, credit unions have been affected by data breaches at large merchants like Target, Home Depot and Michaels. The costs have been significant to credit unions, and members have been frustrated. Now with bills in Congress to address this issue, the Carolinas Credit Union League strongly urges your credit union to mobilize your employees (and your members if you so choose) to contact their members of Congress, asking them to support: The Data Security Act of 2015 S. 961, introduced by Senators Carper (D-DE) and Blunt (R-MO) H.R. 2205, introduced by Reps. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) and John Carney (D-Del) These bills strengthen merchant standards to be comparable with those of credit unions, and they mandate a federal notification requirement for merchants when breaches occur. Additionally, each bill provides a floor for data security standards nationwide and includes the important provision to exclude financial institutions from these requirements as credit unions already are subject to rigorous standards under the GLBA (Gramm-Leach Bliley Act). Merchants need to improve their data security so credit unions can continue to serve their members. It’s time merchants are held to the same data protection standards. It’s time to stop the data breaches! Take action today using the resources provided in this toolkit. www.stopthedatabreaches.com 1 “Stop the Data Breaches” CCUL Grassroots Toolkit 2015 TABLE OF CONTENTS I.
