    Letter from State-Level Elected Leaders in All 50 States Supporting Betsy Devos for Secretary of Education

    LETTER FROM STATE-LEVEL ELECTED LEADERS IN ALL 50 STATES SUPPORTING BETSY DEVOS FOR SECRETARY OF EDUCATION January 17, 2017 The Honorable Lamar Alexander Chairman U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions 428 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Chairman Alexander, As one of the most critical issues impacting the future of our nation, we must have a Secretary of Education committed to the needs of all of our nation’s children. Betsy DeVos has made it her life’s mission to find, support and push for education solutions in her home state of Michigan and across the country. She is an advocate and ally for all children, and we write to you today to express our support for her nomination to this important position as her confirmation hearing approaches. We represent elected state offices from all 50 states, and as such, we each know the impact of an overgrown federal government reaching into the states to push a one-size-fits all approach to education. No two states, localities or school districts are the same, nor are the needs of the children who reside there. Betsy DeVos understands this distinction and for years has embraced a variety of education solutions to meet this need. Her support for an all-of-the-above approach to K-12 education – from charter schools, to public, private and online education – defines the school choice movement that has helped countless children across many of our states. By advancing these innovative solutions from the Department of Education, Betsy DeVos will put children first and empower not only states to lead the way in making critical education decisions, but also empower parents to choose what type of education is best for their children.
  • New Leadership for Hawai'i and Prospects for Policy Change

    New Leadership for Hawai'i and Prospects for Policy Change

    New Leadership for Hawai‘i and Prospects for Policy Change Todd L. Belt1 University of Hawai‘i at Hilo Colin D. Moore University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Introduction Hawai‘i’s slow economic recovery continued throughout 2014. Despite the improving eco- nomic news, voters ousted their brash and combative sitting governor Neil Abercrombie in the Democratic primary. The humble, unassuming state Senator David Ige rolled to a general elec- tion victory. The new governor, an electrical engineer by training and a veteran chair of the Sen- ate Ways and Means Committee, looked to bring less in terms of policy change and more in terms of approach to governance. Governor Ige was inaugurated on December 1, 2014, and his biennial budget was released on December 22. The original request reflected a status-quo budget prepared by the outgoing Aber- crombie administration. In late January 2015, Ige’s administration put together an amended budget that slightly increased budgetary requests based on expected revenue increases. Recalling the previous years’ experience of overestimated revenues, the legislature passed a conservative budget largely similar to the governor’s budget request with few alterations or new programs. State of the Economy Through 2015, economic recovery in Hawai‘i remained slow, with GDP growth since 2010 at or a bit below two percent per year (DBEDT 2015a). Unemployment continued its downward trend since its high of 7.1 percent in September of 2009. As of the end of the legislative session in May of 2015, the rate stood at 3.9 percent, still a bit above its historical average during better times (see Figure 1).

    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance In

    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012). Senator Inouye’s death brought to an end a political career that spanned nearly six decades, and commenced a new era for Hawai'i political leadership. Quite possibly, this new era has also fractured the succession model. In a 75% minority state, throughout the past 65 years, Americans of Japanese ancestry have managed to gain a stranglehold over the Hawai'i Democratic Party, and therefore the Hawai’i state government itself.
