  • Pennsylvania Delegation Letter to Congressional Leadership on LIHTC
    April 20, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Mitch McConnell Speaker of the House Majority Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington DC 20515 Washington DC 20510 The Honorable Kevin McCarthy The Honorable Charles Schumer Minority Leader Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington DC 20515 Washington DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Leader McCarthy, and Leader Schumer: As you consider additional legislative priorities related to COVID-19, we respectfully urge you to support critical improvements to the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program. The LIHTC program, administered jointly by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and state tax credit allocating agencies, provides federal tax credits to developers in exchange for their investment in developing and preserving affordable rental housing. The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, for instance, monitors more than 1,100 affordable housing communities receiving LIHTC. Across the country, LIHTC has led to the development and preservation of over 3 million affordable rental units. As American families struggle to cover health care, utilities, and food costs during this health and economic crisis, access to safe, permanent housing is critical to prevent homelessness and poverty. Targeted public-private investments help provide desperately needed affordable housing for low-income families. As you weigh additional federal assistance measures to address COVID-19, we strongly encourage you to include the following LIHTC changes: Enact a minimum 4% credit rate used to finance acquisitions and Housing Bond- financed developments. LIHTC rates fluctuate in response to market interest movements. Tied to declining federal borrowing rates, the value of the 4% credit rate is closer to 3% – the lowest it has ever been.

  • 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.

  • 1 April 2, 2020 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House Of
    April 2, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives H-232, United States Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi: We are grateful for your tireless work to address the needs of all Americans struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, and for your understanding of the tremendous burdens that have been borne by localities as they work to respond to this crisis and keep their populations safe. However, we are concerned that the COVID-19 relief packages considered thus far have not provided direct funding to stabilize smaller counties, cities, and towns—specifically, those with populations under 500,000. As such, we urge you to include direct stabilization funding to such localities in the next COVID-19 response bill, or to lower the threshold for direct funding through the Coronavirus Relief Fund to localities with smaller populations. Many of us represent districts containing no or few localities with populations above 500,000. Like their larger neighbors, though, these smaller counties, cities, and towns have faced enormous costs while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. These costs include deploying timely public service announcements to keep Americans informed, rapidly activating emergency operations, readying employees for telework to keep services running, and more. This work is essential to keeping our constituents safe and mitigating the spread of the coronavirus as effectively as possible. We fear that, without targeted stabilization funding, smaller localities will be unable to continue providing these critical services to our constituents at the rate they are currently. We applaud you for including a $200 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund as part of H.R.

  • On Behalf of Republican Jim Bognet's Campaign for Congress In
    To: Interested Parties From: Ryan Munce, Co/Efficient Strategies; Barney Keller, Jamestown Associates Date: 10/15/20 Re: PA-8 Survey On behalf of Republican Jim Bognet’s campaign for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District , Co/Efficient Strategies conducted a survey of 615 Likely General Election Voters through IVR and Text from 10/13-10/14 with a margin of error of ±3.94%. The survey found: Ballot (Congressional) Jim Bognet 43 (34/40 Fav/Unfav) Matt Cartwright 48 (45/39 Fav/Unfav) Undecided 9 Ballot (Presidential) Regardless of whom you are voting for for President, President Donald Trump 46 who do you think more of your neighbors are voting for? Joe Biden 48 Trump 51 Jorgensen 3 Biden 34 Undecided 3 Undecided 16 Key Takeaways: • To date, Matt Cartwright has spent or reserved $1.9m on TV. The House Majority PAC/AFSCME has added $1.3m. Jim Bognet (including coordinated from NRCC) has spent $590k. House Majority PAC added to their buy this week. Jim Bognet has been outspent 5-1, but Matt Cartwright is STILL under 50% vote share, and Bognet only underperforms the President by 3. • Bognet’s messaging has begun to creep Cartwright’s unfavorable rating up. He is also now just 36/32 with independents. Conversely, Bognet outperforms his favorable rating by 9 points. • Because of small sample sizes, unique results in Pike County (NYC DMA) can skew results slightly. In the Co/Efficient survey, Bognet loses Pike County 51-42 to Cartwright. However: o In 2018, not a single Republican running for federal office in Pike County received less than 55% of the vote.

Bush supporting and advancing measures to combat climate change. However, since the 1990s, climate change has become increasingly polarized, with significant polarization in the last decade.
