This includes: • $140,000 Given By The American Crystal Sugar Company PAC To Members Of The Caucus. • $120,000 Given By Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s Majority Committee PAC To Members Of The Caucus • $41,000 Given By The Space Exploration Technologies Corp. PAC – the PAC affiliated with Elon Musk’s SpaceX company. Also among the top PACs are Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and the National Association of Realtors. Duke Energy and Boeing are also on this list despite these entity’s public declarations in January aimed at their customers and shareholders that were pausing all donations for a period of time, including those to members that voted against certifying the election. The leaders, companies and trade groups associated with these PACs should have to answer for their support of lawmakers whose votes that fueled the violence and sedition we saw on January 6.

  • 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.

  • Coalition Letter to Congress Re: COVID Impact On
    Tuesday, February 16, 2021 United States Senate and House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20510 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS: Businesses, small to large, across the nation have exponentially suffered as the result of COVID, and have been forced to cut jobs and even close their doors permanently. One of the looming costs is the significant impact on the unemployment insurance fund. To prevent further loss, we respectfully ask Congress to consider the following: Transfer of funds to state UI trust funds equal to the amount of benefits paid due to COVID. Delay the application of the FUTA offset credit reduction for a year. Reduce or waive interest fees. Grant loan extension etc. to the 18 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands that have not only exhausted their state unemployment (UI) fund reserves in the wake of the pandemic, but have borrowed over $48 billion dollars (as of January 25, 2021) from the Federal-State Unemployment Compensation "UC" Program to continue providing jobless benefits. Unlike federal UI benefits, state UI benefits remain financed by state payroll taxes and are expected to rise sharply in the coming years. This will increase taxes on a per-employee basis, which will disincentive hiring employees and slow business recovery. In their weakened state, many more businesses will shut their doors for good under these tax increases. It is the belief of this coalition that it is neither right nor fair to hold employers solely responsible for replenishing state reserves and paying down federal loans. Our state unemployment systems were originally designed to be 100% funded by employers to provide jobless benefits as a result of business decisions.

Paul Cook, R-Yucca Valley. (Courtesy) https://www.pe.com/...ervisor/?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_content=tw-pressenterprise&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com[8/27/2019 7:29:09 AM] Rep. Paul Cook considering run for San Bernardino County supervisor – Press Enterprise By SANDRA EMERSON | [email protected] | PUBLISHED: August 26, 2019 at 4:07 pm | UPDATED: August 26, 2019 at 4:08 pm An unexpected opening on the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors may lead to a game of political musical chairs. Supervisor Robert Lovingood’s recent announcement not to seek re-election to the 1st District means the seat will be open in 2020, including to a possible run from Rep. Paul Cook, R-Yucca Valley. Cook, who represents the 8th Congressional District, which includes most of San Bernardino County as well as Mono and Inyo counties, is considering a return to local politics, but has not yet made a decision, said John Sobel, Cook’s chief of staff. “He is a local government guy originally,” Sobel said. Cook, a retired Marine Corps colonel and Vietnam combat veteran, was elected to congress in 2012, after representing the area in the state Assembly for six years. He served on the Yucca Valley Town Council from 1998 to 2006. The 1st District lies within the footprint of the 8th Congressional District. Both include the High Desert cities of Victorville, Hesperia, Adelanto and Needles as well as Apply Valley.
