Representative Ann Wagner (R-MO-2) Ann Wagner’s career is both deep and broad in service to her hometown, state and nation with over 30 years of work in the private sector, community and public service, and the political arena. The 2nd District means family for Ann. It is where she and her husband of twenty-five years, Ray, grew up, went to school, raised their children, work, volunteer and go to church. This community has given her extraordinary opportunities to make a difference. At an early age, Ann started working in the family business, a retail carpet store called Carpetime in Manchester. Working beside her parents she learned the value of a dollar, a strong work ethic, honesty, integrity, and that government ought not to be in the way and on the backs of hard-working Americans trying to make a living. Ann then took her firsthand experience to the University of Missouri-Columbia and received her BSBA from the Business School with an emphasis in Logistics. After college, Ann went to work in the private sector and held management positions at Hallmark Cards in Kansas City and Ralston Purina in St. Louis. Ann’s most important jobs, however, have always been as a wife and mother. Ann and Ray have three children: Raymond, a West Point graduate stationed at Fort Campbell with the 101st Airborne; Stephen, a senior at Washington University in St. Louis; and Mary Ruth, a high school senior at Ursuline Academy. Ann Wagner’s public service began at the grassroots level. She served for nine years as a local committeewoman in Lafayette Township and went on to Chair the Missouri Republican Party delivering historic Republican gains. She also served as Co- Chairman of the Republican National Committee during the first Date of Birth: September 13, 1962 term of President George W. Bush. In 2005, following nomination by President Bush and confirmation by the U.S. Senate, Ann was sworn in as the 19th U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO-3) As the Congressman from the 3rd Congressional District of Missouri, Blaine is committed to representing the interests of the hard-working people who sent him to Congress by being a strong voice for them in Washington, D.C. Along with his strong agriculture background, he was also a small businessman, having been in the banking and insurance business. Blaine has also served as a bank regulator for the state of Missouri earlier in his career. He was elected in November, 2008, succeeding fellow Republican Kenny Hulshof. From 1999 to 2005, Blaine was a Missouri State Representative and served as Chairman of the Financial Services Committee and was elected by his colleagues to serve as the House Republican Caucus Chairman.

Representative Vicky Hartzler (R-MO-4) Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler was first elected to Congress in 2010, pledging to reduce wasteful spending, stop the intrusion of the federal government in everyday life, and implement a strong national defense policy. Now in her third term, serving on the House Armed Services and Agriculture Committee, the Congresswoman has shown effective leadership on these priorities. Since Vicky first took the oath of office, government spending has been cut by almost $70 billion. For the first time since the Korean War, Federal spending has decreased four years in a row. In addition to reining in overall spending, Vicky has been focused on prioritizing the use of tax dollars to the most important areas. Vicky also consistently combats government overreach on key regulatory issues. In 2011, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) unilaterally demanded that 1,200 homes at the Lake of the Ozarks be torn down, even though they were built to comply with local ordinances and building code. Vicky opposed this unnecessary government intervention through the Leave Our Lakes Alone Act, which would stop Washington's heavy-handed administration of hydropower lakes in America. As a result of her leadership, the commission backed down and allowed all 1,200 homes to remain. Most importantly, Vicky cares for the good people in Missouri's Fourth District and wants the government to work for them, not against them. She loves to hear their ideas, take them to Washington, and advance their positive solutions. Vicky is a 1983 graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia (summa Date of Birth: October 13, 1960 cum laude, B.S., Education) and a 1992 graduate of Central Missouri State University (now the University of Central Missouri, M.S., Education).

  • Libertarian Party of Nevada Hosted "Speed Dating" Events Over 2 Days at Different Venues in Las Vegas
    Endorsement Committee This year, we formed an Endorsement Committee comprised of 18 members plus additional Libertarian leadership; the “Committee.” The Committee members conducted their own independent research on each of the candidates and asked them questions at our events. The Committee members took notes and made recommendations on grades and endorsements. Endorsement Committee Chair: Jason Weinman Committee Members: Jason G Smith Jim Duensing Jason Nellis Lesley Chan John McCormack JD Smith Lou Pombo Brady Bowyer Scott Lafata Tim Hagan Brett H. Pojunis Brandon Ellyson Debra Dedmon Nick Klein Andrew Lea Ross Williams Tarina Dark Steve Brown Format - Why "Speed Dating?" The Libertarian Party of Nevada hosted "Speed Dating" events over 2 days at different venues in Las Vegas. The goal was to meet as many candidates as possible in a format similar to speed dating. LPNevada endorsed Candidates in non‐partisan races and graded Candidates in partisan races for the 2014 General Elections. Most organizations do not get one‐on‐one interaction with the candidates; we felt this is important. Endorsements and Grading Non‐Partisan candidates received either a positive (thumbs up) or negative (thumbs down) endorsement from the Committee. Partisan Candidates received a grade of 1 to 5 stars. Candidates who received 1 star were not very Libertarian and candidates who received 5 stars were very good in regards to their position on issues important to Libertarians. The Libertarian Party of Nevada has the following 15 Candidate on the 2014 Ballot.

  • Presidential Election Results
    2016 Election Overview The outcome of the 2016 elections has definitely altered the landscape for transportation policy and funding initiatives. From the Presidency down to state legislative races, we face a new legislative dynamic and many new faces. What hasn’t changed: the huge need for resources to increase the nation’s and the state’s investment in the transportation system and bipartisan agreement on that fact. Prior to the outcome of Tuesday’s election we were hearing from candidates on both sides of the aisle that increasing investments in infrastructure was an area of agreement. Candidates for Minnesota’s legislature brought up the need for a comprehensive, long-term transportation funding package over and over again in news stories, candidate profiles and candidate forums. We were hearing more from candidates about transportation than we have in previous election cycles. Voters in other states, made their voices heard by approving ballot initiatives in 22 states that increased and stabilized funding for transportation. As we head into 2017, transportation advocates have a huge opportunity to capitalize on the widespread support for infrastructure improvements. However, it will take the involvement of transportation advocates across the state making their voices heard to rise above partisan squabbling and the many other issues that will be on the table. National Presidential Election Results Electoral Votes Needed to Win: 270 *Remaining: 16 Trump (R) Electoral Votes 290 Popular Vote 60,375,961 Clinton (D) Electoral Votes 232 Popular Vote 61,047,207 Minnesota Clinton (D) percent 46.9% votes 1,366,676 Trump (R) percent 45.4% votes 1,322,891 The race for the White House defied the polls and expectations as Donald Trump won more than the needed 270 votes in the electoral college while Hillary Clinton narrowly won the popular vote.

  • Addendum a to Resolution to Reestablish Republican Unity and Principles
    Addendum A to Resolution to Reestablish Republican Unity and Principles Note: This addendum is attached to the Resolution to ensure clarity and justification for the claims and appeals made within the Resolution. Towards Integrity, Then Unity We, the Nevada Republican Central Committee make it known that we delayed presentation and publication of this Resolution until after the 2012 Presidential Election to unmistakably demonstrate support and respect for our Republican candidate. Unlike events at the 2012 Republican National Committee (RNC) Tampa Convention, we demand integrity and sincere unity in Republican Party affairs. The RNC silenced the delegates, and therefore, all Republicans, during the vote to accept the RNC Rules Committee Report, in violation of RNC Rules, specifically, our Preamble. The Preamble of our RNC Rules sets out a clear vision for the Party to function properly. The leadership of the Party exercised exceptionally poor judgment in their decision making, clearly violating that Preamble. As members of the Republican Party it is our duty to take actions necessary to ensure that our Party respects our rules. Specific Grievances 1) The report of the 2012 RNC Convention Rules Committee was not accepted properly. Legitimate cries of “Division” were heard, clearly requiring actions which were not taken (see Rules of the House of Representatives, Rule XX, 1. (a) Voting and Quorum Calls) 2) Therefore, Rule 40 (b) could not have been amended and the original requirement for five states remained the criteria. Considering this and that the RNC Secretary was handed candidate nomination forms in accordance with the rules, there should have been a nomination from the floor.

  • June 30, 2021 the Honorable Joseph R. Biden, Jr. President of the United States the White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500
    June 30, 2021 The Honorable Joseph R. Biden, Jr. President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Biden, We are writing to urge you to act swiftly on bipartisan solutions to address the critical water crisis facing the western United States. This historic drought is threatening our drinking water supply and energy generation capacity, along with putting the health of our citizens, environment, and economy at risk. We are witnessing this water crisis grow each day in our communities. As you may know, Lake Mead, which supplies water for 25 million people across Nevada, Arizona, and California, just reached its lowest level since construction in the 1930s. Alarmingly, it currently stands at only 36 percent capacity. The Bureau of Reclamation is expected to declare a Level 1 shortage condition for 2022 that will result in water supply cuts for many states, including the loss of approximately one-third of the Colorado River water delivered into Central Arizona. Reclamation has already reduced water allocations for users of the Central Valley Project, which is facing the worst hydrologic conditions since 1976-77. And extreme drought conditions and low snowpack on the Rio Grande are threatening reservoir levels and water allocations. The shortages will have far-reaching impacts for our water utilities, farmers, tribal communities, and the health of our rivers and ecosystems. But the impacts of this drought will be felt far beyond these water shortages. Lower levels in reservoirs decrease our ability to generate electricity. At the Hoover Dam, which has the capacity to produce power for 1.3 million people, generation is down by 25%.

  • 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.
