Mucarsel-Powell Continues to Surge, Earns 50% of Fl-26
MUCARSEL-POWELL CONTINUES TO SURGE, EARNS 50% OF FL-26 In a late-September DCCC IE survey of likely 2018 general election voters conducted by GBA, Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell leads Republican Carlos Curbelo by 2 points, winning 50% of the district. This result is consistent with recent polling numbers in the district, Mucarsel-Powell earning 49% to Curbelo’s 48%, in a recent GQR poll. This 9-point shift since July’s survey, also conducted by GBA, reflects aggressive, early communication, driven by Debbie’s campaign and mirrored by the DCCC IE. To date, that paid communication has focused primarily on the contrast between Congressman Curbelo’s record on healthcare in Washington and Debbie’s record of making affordable healthcare more accessible in South Florida. Additionally, the realignment in the race echoes what the July poll’s informed vote projects. Mucarsel-Powell leads Congressman Curbelo among key slices of the electorate, beating Curbelo by 17 points among registered Independent/No Party Affiliation voters, (57% to 40%). Mucarsel-Powell also leads Curbelo by 16 points among voters under 40 years old (58% to 42%). Mucarsel-Powell also holds a 5-point advantage among women, earning 51% of women to Congressman Curbelo’s 46%. Just 44% of voters have an opinion of Mucarsel-Powell in a district that only fully engages when vote by mail ballots arrive at voters’ doorsteps. Voters hold a net- positive opinion of Mucarsel-Powell, 26% of voters have a favorable view while 18% have an unfavorable view. Despite this lower profile, Mucarsel-Powell still wins 50% of the vote, and in fact, 32% of voters who vote for Mucarsel-Powell are not able to identify her. -
Is All Descriptive Representation Equal?: a Closer Look at Latino Representation in the U.S
Is All Descriptive Representation Equal?: A Closer Look at Latino Representation in the U.S. House of Representatives Jennifer Garcia Graduate Student Department of Political Science University of California, Irvine [email protected] 1 Across the country, the ranks of Latinos are increasing in the Republican Party. The 2010 Midterm elections witnessed a record number of Latino Republicans elected to statewide and national office.1 Latino Republicans more than doubled in size in the U.S. House of Representatives, making up eight out of 27 Latino members in the 112th Congress. Yet, it is unknown whether their presence benefits Latinos. Although there is a general consensus among scholars that descriptive representation benefits racial and ethnic communities, it is also acknowledged that political parties significantly influence representation, at least for Blacks. Further, scholars have shown that political parties have become even more important in Congress. However, Blacks benefit from descriptive representation because Black representatives place racial and symbolic issues on the political agenda that are otherwise given little to no attention by non-Black representatives. This paper will take a closer look at the symbolic representation provided by Latino Republicans in the 112th Congress by examining bill sponsorship/co-sponsorship and floor speeches in the U.S. House of Representatives. A considerable amount of work has examined minority representation and its benefits. Some have emphasized the substantive benefits of descriptive representation by examining roll call votes, bills sponsorship/co-sponsorship, participation during committee hearings, and constituent services. Others have focused on the effect that descriptive representatives have on minority political behavior, showing that Latinos, like Blacks, are mobilized by co-ethnic candidates.2 Still others have focused on the symbolic benefits provided by descriptive representatives, finding that Black representatives provide the greatest amount of symbolic representation to Blacks (Tate 2003). -
2014 Florida Profile of Hispanic Electorate and Candidates Released in Advance of State Primary Election
For Immediate Release Contact: Amanda Bosquez, [email protected] August 21, 2014 (202) 546-2536 ext. 112, (361) 548-6989 (cell) Paula Valle Castanon, [email protected] (213) 747-7606 ext. 4414, (323) 253-6431 (cell) 2014 Florida Profile of Hispanic Electorate and Candidates Released in Advance of State Primary Election Hispanic turnout in Florida mid-term Congressional elections has nearly doubled since 1998 WASHINGTON, D.C. - The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund, the nation’s leading organization that facilitates the full participation of Latinos in the American political process, today released its 2014 primary profile for the Hispanic electorate and candidates in Florida. According to 2012 Census data, Florida was home to 4,484,201 Hispanics who were nearly one- fourth (23 percent) of the state’s residents. Among all states in the United States, Florida’s population is comprised of the third highest share of Hispanics. Over one-seventh (15 percent) of Florida’s registered voters are Hispanic. Census data showed that between 1998 and 2010, Hispanic voter turnout in mid-term Congressional elections nearly doubled, growing from 439,000 to 863,000, an increase of 97 percent. During the last decade, there have been significant changes in the partisan affiliation of Florida’s Hispanic electorate. According to Pew Hispanic Trends, as recently as 2006, more Hispanics in Florida were registered as Republicans (37 percent) than as Democrats (33 percent). By 2008, the balance tipped over to the Democrats, with the gap continuing to grow. Voter file data from October 2013 indicate that Florida’s Hispanic registered voters are nearly as likely to be registered as Democrats (38 percent) as non-Hispanics (39 percent) and much less likely to be registered as Republican (27 percent) than the non-Hispanic electorate (37 percent). -
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 ....................................................................................................................

Waxman-Strategies-Midterm-Enviro-Memo.Pdf
| 2 | WHAT TO WATCH IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS With polls predicting a possible “blue wave”, the 2018 mid-term elections bring with them the potential to dramatically reshape the legislative landscape. For environmental issues, this means an opportunity to advance real policy solutions. But with a potentially divided Congress and an indifferent-to-hostile administration, what pro- environment policies will be on the table? At Waxman Strategies, we are preparing and planning for the many possible outcomes of this election. Given the importance of this year’s election, we wanted to share some of our insights on the bellwether races to watch, what we are expecting could happen in the 116th Congress and the environmental policy issues we are following. | 3 | THE RACES WE’RE FOLLOWING We’ve selected five House races and five Senate races that we see as election night bellwethers. If the Democrats win the races lower on the lists, it may indicate a “blue wave.” REPUBLICAN HOLD HOUSE RACES TO WATCH SENATE RACES TO WATCH IA-1: Rod Blum (R) v.

ML Strategies has compiled recent polling and punditry on the 2012 Presidential, Senate, and House races. The race to the White House grows closer as Election Day approaches. In the past week of polling, roughly half have shown a slight Obama lead while the other half has Romney slightly leading. The control of the Senate remains uncertain: with eight races remaining pure tossups, it is not clear which party will be the majority in the 113th Congress. The House will likely remain in Republican control with anywhere 226 and 228 seats already solid, likely, or leaning Republican seats; 218 are needed for a majority.

Your Credit Union Name
May 23, 2014 Mr. Gerald Poliquin Secretary of the Board National Credit Union Administration 1775 Duke Street Alexandria, Va. 22314-3428 Re: Risk Based Capital Proposal Dear Mr. Poliquin: I am writing on behalf of Miami Federal Credit Union. We serve over 3,000 members and have $31 million in assets. Our Credit Union appreciates the opportunity to provide comments to the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) on its proposed rule, Prompt Corrective Action – Risk Based Capital. The need for credit unions to be strong financially has our full support. However, since credit unions build capital the old fashioned way (we retain a dollar that is earned at a time) this proposed rule could severely limit the ability of credit unions to take advantage to grow, increase the products and services we could provide to our members, and help our local communities prosper. In fact, we believe the proposal could actually serve to weaken our industry in the future because as we grow slower, we will not be able to innovate as fast as our competitors and we will become less relevant in the consumer market place. An unintended consequence of this proposal is that could actually serve to weaken the strength of our insurance fund not strengthen it. Additionally, because of the potential impact of this proposal could have on our balance sheets 10 years down the road, the NCUA should have heeded the request from CUNA and other trade organizations to extend the comment period. All the credit unions executives I know are busy trying to run our credit unions as successfully as we can. -
