  • Races to Watch for Supporters of Immigration Reform Senate Edition
    RACES TO WATCH FOR SUPPORTERS OF IMMIGRATION REFORM SENATE EDITION September 2012 ARIZONA (OPEN) FLORIDA (NELSON-D) MASSACHUSETTS (BROWN-R) NEVADA (HELLER-R) NEW MEXICO (OPEN) VIRGINIA (OPEN) 1 State: Arizona (open) Candidates: Richard Carmona (D) v. Rep. Jeff Flake (R) Rating: Lean Republican (Cook Political Report, 9/24/12) Latino Voters: 18.4% (see LatinoVoteMap.org) Arizona’s Jeff Flake used to be a champion of comprehensive immigration reform, leading the effort to push for common sense solutions in the U.S. House of Representatives in the mid- 2000s. However, Flake tacked right during the Senate primary, following the playbook of Senator John McCain in his transformation between the push for comprehensive reform in 2007 and the Republican presidential primary in 2008. Flake went so far as to vote against the DREAM Act in 2010. But the Congressman might not have gotten the memo: in the two years since the Arizona legislature passed SB 1070, voters have begun to realize that immigrant- bashing is distracting and destructive. SB 1070’s lead sponsor, State Senate President Russell Pearce, was kicked out of office in an unprecedented recall election in 2011—then defeated again in 2012. Furthermore, advocates and community leaders are working hard to ensure that Latinos (who measure 30.1% of Arizona’s population and 18.4% of its voter base) and immigrants in Arizona show resilience in the face of anti-immigrant bullying by showing up at the polls. If Carmona is able to beat Flake, it will be due to turnout of Latino voters. Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio will be represented in the Senate by a vocal supporter of comprehensive immigration reform and the DREAM Act—and it might prove that the head-in-the-sand anti-immigrant fad of the last few years has finally worn out its welcome.

  • Bill Nelson Leads Connie Mack, Others by at Least 11 Points Raleigh, N.C
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 2, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Bill Nelson leads Connie Mack, others by at least 11 points Raleigh, N.C. – Sen. Bill Nelson’s approval rating has slipped since PPP last polled Florida in September, but he maintains double-digit leads over all his potential opponents. That is even true when matched against the highest-profile Republican, Connie Mack IV, whose family name instantly shot him to the top of the primary race when he recently announced he had reversed his original decision not to run. Nelson leads Mack by eleven points (46-35), Adam Hasner by 15 (48-33), George LeMieux and Mike McCalister also by 15 (47-32), and Craig Miller by 19 (49-30). Two months ago, Nelson led McCalister by 13 points, Hasner and LeMieux by 14, and Miller by 17. When Mack was last tested in March, he trailed by 13 points. After bumping his overall job performance rating to a 40-32 spread in September, Nelson has declined to barely even (38-37). At 51-27, he continues to be weak with his own party, but he is unusually strong across the aisle, with 22% of Republicans approving. Meanwhile, with 51% aware enough of him to form an opinion, Mack is the most recognized Republican; the others are known to only 23-33% of voters. Because of that, more Republicans and independents are undecided than Democrats in all the matchups, so the race will get closer once the GOP settles on a nominee next year.

  • Senator Scarnati Denies Links Between Campaign Funds and Legislation Pennsylvania Senate Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati's Office
    Senator Scarnati denies links between campaign funds and legislation Pennsylvania Senate Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati’s office denied a report written by Spotlight PA ​ and The Caucus, which stated he and lobbyists were pushing for legislation that would vastly expand gambling in Pennsylvania. In a statement, Mr. Scarnati denied the link between monetary contributions to his campaign and legislative support for additional gambling, calling the report “appalling.” “I have not advocated for members of the Senate to support video gambling legislation,” the statement read. “In fact — in the past I actively worked against legislation that had been proposed for VGTs [video gaming terminals].” The article, which appeared in Friday’s Post-Gazette, which is a journalism partner with Spotlight PA, said that Mr. Scarnati and lobbyists for deep-pocketed video gaming companies, many from out of state, were pushing for the legislation. Spotlight PA and The Caucus defended their story in a tweet Friday. “We @SpotlightPA and @CaucusPA stand firmly behind our reporting on this story. Our reporters remain undeterred in their commitment to fearless journalism that serves Pennsylvania citizens and holds their elected leaders accountable.” The legislation in question would allow bars, restaurants, clubs and other establishments with liquor licenses to have VGTs. As current legislation stands, only truck stops are allowed to have VGTs in them. In his statement Mr. Scarnati noted that Spotlight PA accepts donations from individuals and organizations as one method of funding the publication. Mr. Scarnati closed his statement by saying that he would meet “any further false media statements” with legal action. COVID-19 has changed Trenton lobbying in many ways, from remote conversations to clients’ priorities There was lobbying before March 9 … it consisted of chasing down lawmakers outside Trenton’s State House to either promote or hurt the prospects of legislation lobbyists shepherded for clients.

  • Nelson up 7 in Florida Senate Race
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 4, 2012 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Nelson up 7 in Florida Senate race Raleigh, N.C.-- The Florida Senate race is one of the strangest in the country this year. Bill Nelson has middling approval numbers, with only 35% of voters approving of him to 42% who disapprove. Usually an incumbent in that kind of position would be doomed for defeat. And yet Nelson has a 7 point lead over Connie Mack IV, 45-38, representing a 5 point increase in his lead compared to our last poll in late July. The reason Nelson's ahead despite being unpopular is that Mack is even more unpopular. Only 27% of voters have a favorable opinion of him to 45% with an unfavorable one. Just 17% of independents have a positive opinion of Mack to 48% with a negative one, and much of Nelson's lead comes thanks to a 45-29 advantage with that group. “Bill Nelson is the clear favorite in the Florida Senate race,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Voters aren’t exactly in love with him but they like Connie Mack IV even less.” Charlie Crist isn't a particularly popular figure in Florida anymore. After his endorsement of President Obama only 36% of voters in the state now have a positive opinion of him to 44% with a negative one. He's lost most of his remaining appeal to Republican voters- he was at 34/49 with them a month ago and now he's dropped a net 21 points to 24/60.

  • New Sachs/Mason-Dixon Florida Poll Shows Bill Nelson Vulnerable to Defeat in 2012
    For Immediate Release: Contact: Janelle Pepe February 15, 2011 (850) 222-1996 New Sachs/Mason-Dixon Florida Poll Shows Bill Nelson Vulnerable to Defeat in 2012 Tallahassee – Florida’s Senior U.S. Senator Bill Nelson is vulnerable to defeat in 2012, according to a new statewide Sachs/Mason-Dixon poll released today. “Regardless of his many years of public service, Sen. Nelson’s reelection in 2012 is anything but a sure thing – in fact, any of his prospective Republican challengers is positioned to be competitive and possibly win,” said Ron Sachs, president and CEO of Ron Sachs Communications who commissioned the poll. “This contest will be a national story, as will the fact that, if he ran and the election were held today, former Gov. Jeb Bush would beat Sen. Nelson.” In the poll of 625 registered Florida voters conducted Feb 9-10, 2011 by Mason- Dixon Polling & Research, Sen. Nelson fails to gain 50 percent support against any potential Republican challenger. “Bill Nelson will clearly have a much more difficult path to victory next year than he had in 2006. He is in trouble if voters in 2012 are looking to throw out career politicians like they did in the past election,” said Mason-Dixon Managing Director Brad Coker. “The fact that Sen. Nelson currently can’t crack 50 percent against any GOP challenger in a head-to-head match-up, including several lesser-known lawmakers, is a clear sign of vulnerability.” In hypothetical races, the Sachs/Mason-Dixon Poll shows: Former Gov. Jeb Bush leads Nelson 49 percent to 41 percent.

  • Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2008
    Order Code RL30261 Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2008 Updated July 23, 2008 Mildred L. Amer Specialist in American National Government Government and Finance Division Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2008 Summary A record 91 women serve in the 110th Congress: 75 in the House (55 Democrats and 20 Republicans) and 16 in the Senate (11 Democrats and 5 Republicans). A record 94 women have served during the 110th Congress, but three died during the first session, Juanita Millender-McDonald (D-CA), Jo Ann Davis (R-VA), and Julia Carson (D-IN). The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeanette Rankin (R- MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 246 women have served in Congress, 158 Democrats and 88 Republicans. Of these women, 211 have served only in the House, 28 only in the Senate, and seven in both houses. The figures include one Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
