    Rainbow Coalition of Vermont Records, 1984-1991 Doc 454, MSA 212, Size D Introduction This collection consists of the records of the Rainbow Coalition of Vermont, 1984-1991, a progressive political organization that worked within and outside the Vermont Democratic Party to elect candidates and increase voter participation. The collection was given to the Vermont Historical Society by Mary Deaett of the Rainbow Coalition in 1992 (ms. acc. no. 92.5). The collection is housed in one document storage box, one archival flip-top box, and one oversized folder; it occupies 1.5 linear feet of shelf space. Agency History The Rainbow Coalition was organized in 1984 during Jesse Jackson’s first run for president. It brought together progressive political activists from throughout the state to support Jackson and his platform. In the elections of 1984, 1986, 1988, and 1990 the Rainbow Coalition supported both Democratic and independent candidates in legislative and state races, and worked inside and outside of the Vermont Democratic Party to advance progressive positions on a variety of issues. The Rainbow Coalition was closely affiliated with the Progressive Coalition of Burlington, Vermont. Bernard Sanders, a member of the Progressive Coalition, had been elected mayor of Burlington in 1981. In 1988 he ran for Vermont’s lone seat in the U. S. Congress as a member the Progressive Coalition with support from the Rainbow Coalition. Sanders lost that year to Peter Smith. Two years Sanders defeated Smith to win the Congressional seat. By 1992, the Rainbow Coalition formally merged with the Progressive Coalition to establish a statewide electoral organization, devoted exclusively to supporting progressive candidates running outside of the major parties.

  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

The Office of General Counsel has reviewed this memorandum and concurs with the recommendations. Record keeping for Employees For the period covered by the audit, VDP did not maintain any monthly payroll logs, as required, to document the percentage of time each employee spent on federal election activity. For 2009 and 2010, the Audit staff identified payments to VDP employees totaling $203,472 for which monthly payroll logs were not maintained. All of the VDP employees were originally disclosed as having been paid with an allocation of federal and non-federal funds After the exit conference, VDP amended its reports to disclose payments to employees as federal election activity. In response to the Interim Audit Report recommendation, VDP submitted a plan to pay all employees with I 00 percent federal funds. Further, VDP said it would maintain monthly timesheets for all employees paid with federal/non-federal allocated funds, in order to track the percentage of time each employee spends on federal election activity The Audit staff recommends that the Commission find that the VDP failed to maintain logs to document the time employees spent on federal election activity totaling $203,472.

    James M. Jeffords Center’s Vermont Legislative Research Service 3 Campaign Contributions from the Corrections Corporation of America The Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) is a private corrections management industry that was founded in 1983. CCA specializes in the “design, construction, expansion and management of prisons, jails, and detention facilities, as well as inmate transportation services” and has become the “private corrections provider of choice” for both federal and state agencies.1 CCA currently houses 75,000 detainees in over 60 facilities throughout the nation and partners with the three federal corrections agencies (the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the US Marshals Services, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement).2 CCA is the fifth largest corrections system in the nation (behind the three federal corrections agencies and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation).3 CCA has also been prevalent in political elections, making campaign contributions to nominees who may support stricter prison policies, enabling CCA to stay in business.4 The National Influence of CCA CCA is a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a conservative lobby group that is based in Washington DC and is specifically invested in criminal justice discussions.5 1 Corrections Corporation of America, “About CCA,” CCA, accessed November 9, 2011, http://www.cca.com/about. 2 Corrections Corporation of America, “About CCA,” CCA, accessed November 9, 2011, http://www.cca.com/about. 3 Office of Research, “Population Reports,” California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation accessed November 9, 2011, http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Reports_Research/Offender_Information_Services_Branch/Population_Reports.html 4 Harvey Silvergate and Kyle Smeallie, “Freedom Watch: Jailhouse Bloc,” The Boston Phoenix, December 9, 2008, accessed November 9, 2011, http://thephoenix.com/Boston/News/73092‐Freedom‐watch‐Jailhouse‐ bloc/?page=3#TOPCONTENT.
