  • Presentation Center Team Director: Alistair Taylor ROADMAP
    Freshmen elected in 2016 New governors and members of the House and Senate February 23, 2017 Producer: Presentation Center Team Director: Alistair Taylor ROADMAP Roadmap Freshmen governors (7) Freshmen senators (7) Freshmen representatives (58) JOHN CARNEY Gov. John Carney Biography John Carney was born in 1956 in Wilmington, DE. Carney, elected to succeed nine-term Republican Rep. Michael Castle in 2010, is a centrist Democrat with an unusual devotion to bipartisanship. Not long after taking office, he co-founded a policy group of Democrats and Republicans to discuss finding common ground, which has gotten some results. Carney has lived in Wilmington for most of his life, and spent nearly his entire adult life in public office, except for brief stints as president and chief operating officer of Transformative Technologies, a Delaware green technology firm, and as executive vice president of a wind farm start-up called DelaWind. After getting a degree in English at Dartmouth College and a master’s degree in public administration at the University of Delaware, Carney went to work as an aide to Joe Biden, then a senator. Carney was also the state secretary of finance under Carper from 1997 to 2000. In 2000, he won the first of two terms as Delaware’s lieutenant governor. Carney later ran for the at-large seat in the House and prevailed with 57% of the vote, a rare instance of a Democrat seizing Republican territory in the GOP-friendly year of 2010. Carney was assigned to the Financial Services Committee and struck up a friendship with fellow freshman James Renacci, a Republican from Ohio.

JAN/FEB 2021 USW and SOAR Welcome Biden Administration USW International President Tom Conway issued the following statement in response to Joe Biden’s inauguration: “The USW and SOAR congratulate Joe Biden on January 20, 2021, becoming the 46th president of the United States and welcomes his vision and experience as our country faces unparalleled challenges. “From containing the pandemic to revitalizing our flailing economy, it’s essential that we have strong, steady leadership that prioritizes working people. “The new administration is extremely qualified to address these crises. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris understand that all workers deserve fair wages, safe working conditions and a secure retirement, and they’ve assembled a cabinet that has proven that they’re eager to work to create good, family-sustaining jobs and healthy, vibrant communities. “Central to the success of this revitalization effort is a clear focus on building back our country’s crumbling infrastructure. Aggressive investment in a modernized infrastructure will not only help rebuild our domestic supply chains and create badly needed manufacturing jobs now, but will also ensure long-term sustainable economic recovery for generations to come. “President Biden has long been a friend of our union and of all working people. The USW is excited to work with his administration as together we put our country back on the path toward health and widespread economic opportunity.” Front Cover Photo Caption: On January 20, 2021, Joseph R.

  • The Our White House Inauguration Celebration Kit for Kids!
    The Our White House Inauguration Celebration Kit for Kids! Created by The National Children’s Book and Literacy Alliance for parents, family members, teachers, librarians, and community leaders The National Children’s Book and Literacy Alliance has created this Inauguration Celebration Kit to assist all adults who live and work with young people to engage with our kids in informed discussions about the presidency and American government, teach them to think critically, and energize them to learn more about the political process in America—using the presidency and inauguration as the focus. This Kit includes: • Exclusive articles covering such topics as why presidential inaugurations are held on January 20th, the oath of office, inaugural parades, and how Thomas Jefferson's first inauguration helped unite the country following a bitter election battle. • Hands-on activities to use with young people in the classroom or at home, such as ideas for designing a parade float, hosting an inaugural ball for kids, and writing poetry. • Games to engage kids in this year’s inauguration, such as “Inaugural I Spy.” • Discussion questions you can share during class, around the dinner table, and at a club meeting. We invite you to check out the interactive version of this Kit on our education website OurWhiteHouse.org, the online companion to our award-winning anthology Our White House: Looking In, Looking Out (Candlewick Press). Our White House is an incomparable collection of essays, personal accounts, historical fiction, poetry, and a stunning array of original art, offering a multifaceted look at America’s history through the prism of the White House.
