  • Mcconnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117Th Congress
    For Immediate Release, Wednesday, February 3, 2021 Contacts: David Popp, Doug Andres Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn McConnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress Praises Senators Crapo and Tim Scott for their work on the Committee on Committees WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the 50-50 power-sharing agreement finalized earlier today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced the Senate Republican Conference Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress. Leader McConnell once again selected Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) to chair the Senate Republicans’ Committee on Committees, the panel responsible for committee assignments for the 117th Congress. This is the ninth consecutive Congress in which Senate leadership has asked Crapo to lead this important task among Senate Republicans. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) assisted in the committee selection process as he did in the previous three Congresses. “I want to thank Mike and Tim for their work. They have both earned the trust of our colleagues in the Republican Conference by effectively leading these important negotiations in years past and this year was no different. Their trust and experience was especially important as we enter a power-sharing agreement with Democrats and prepare for equal representation on committees,” McConnell said. “I am very grateful for their work.” “I appreciate Leader McConnell’s continued trust in having me lead the important work of the Committee on Committees,” said Senator Crapo. “Americans elected an evenly-split Senate, and working together to achieve policy solutions will be critical in continuing to advance meaningful legislation impacting all Americans. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit our nation, our economy was the strongest it has ever been.

  • June 4, 2018 Honorable Chuck Grassley
    June 4, 2018 Honorable Chuck Grassley Honorable Dianne Feinstein Chairman Ranking Member Senate Judiciary Committee Senate Judiciary Committee 224 Dirksen Senate Office Building 224 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Feinstein: On behalf of the Copyright Alliance and our members, I write in opposition to S. 2933, the Accessibility for Curators, Creators, Educators, Scholars, and Society to Recordings Act (the “ACCESS to Recordings Act”). The bill is a fundamentally flawed attempt to address misinformed and unfounded criticisms of the Music Modernization Act (S. 2823), in particular, provisions which would enable legacy artists (who recorded music before 1972) to be paid royalties when their music is played on digital radio. The Copyright Alliance is a non-profit, non-partisan public interest and educational organization representing the copyright interests of over 1.8 million individual creators and over 13,000 organizations in the United States, across the spectrum of copyright disciplines. In particular, we represent most of the individuals and businesses involved in the music industry, including songwriters, music publishers, performance rights organizations, recording artists, producers, record labels, and broadcasters. The Copyright Alliance is dedicated to advocating policies that promote and preserve the value of copyright and to protecting the rights of creators and innovators, including musicians, filmmakers, photographers and publishers. The individual creators and organizations that we represent rely on copyright law to protect their creativity, efforts, and investments in the creation and distribution of new copyrighted works for the public to enjoy. Among other things, the Music Modernization Act would correct a historical injustice by requiring digital services to pay legacy artists when they stream their music under federal law.

  • Ranking Member John Barrasso
    Senate Committee Musical Chairs August 15, 2018 Key Retiring Committee Seniority over Sitting Chair/Ranking Member Viewed as Seat Republicans Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Republican Seat Viewed as Republican Seat at Risk Viewed as Seat Democrats Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Democratic Seat Viewed as Democratic Seat at Risk Notes • The Senate Republican leader is not term-limited; Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will likely remain majority leader. The only member of Senate GOP leadership who is currently term-limited is Republican Whip John Cornyn (R-TX). • Republicans have term limits of six years as chairman and six years as ranking member. Republican members can only use seniority to bump sitting chairs/ranking members when the control of the Senate switches parties. • Committee leadership for the Senate Aging; Agriculture; Appropriations; Banking; Environment and Public Works (EPW); Health Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP); Indian Affairs; Intelligence; Rules; and Veterans Affairs Committees are unlikely to change. Notes • Current Armed Services Committee (SASC) Chairman John McCain (R-AZ) continues to receive treatment for brain cancer in Arizona. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) has served as acting chairman and is likely to continue to do so in Senator McCain’s absence. If Republicans lose control of the Senate, Senator McCain would lose his top spot on the committee because he already has six years as ranking member. • In the unlikely scenario that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) does not take over the Finance Committee, Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), who currently serves as Chairman of the Banking Committee, could take over the Finance Committee.

  • Lindsey Graham Says 2017 Is All About Hitting Back at Russia
    Lindsey Graham Says 2017 Is All About Hitting Back at Russia Nick Wadhams and Patrick Donahue February 19, 2017, 1:50 PM GMT+1 ➞ U.S. Republican senator vows investigation into election hack ➞ Germans and French may be next to face attack, Graham says U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham promised that Congress will press ahead with a bill to sanction Russia for interfering in the U.S. presidential election, and investigate the methods it used, to make sure other countries don’t fall victim to similar hacking attacks. Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, called on President Donald Trump to make a clear statement that Russia must pay a price for interfering with the election even though Democrats suffered most from the hacking. A Senate bill to sanction Russia is likely to get more than 75 votes and Trump should sign it, he told the Munich Security Conference on Sunday. Lindsey Graham Photographer: Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg The year 2017 “is going to be a year of kicking Russia in the ass in Congress,” Graham said. “If you’re worried that we’re not going to look long and hard at what Russia did in our election because Trump won and Republicans are in charge, you don’t need to worry about that. We are. Because if we don’t, it could be the Chinese or Iranians next, it could be the Republicans next time.” Allegations of Russian meddling in the U.S. election -- and concern it will do the same ahead of votes in Germany and France this year -- were a theme at the security conference, where German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Russia’s pursuit of so-called hybrid warfare poses a “serious challenge for democracies.” Participants remained unnerved by Trump’s repeated calls for better ties with Moscow, even after Vice President Mike Pence said Russia must be held accountable for its actions in Ukraine.

The Monmouth University Poll of likely South Carolina voters also found that Marco Rubio, who places third overall, is the clear favorite from the so- called “establishment” pack of candidates. However, his so-called “generational appeal” seems to be appealing to a different generation than expected. Among voters likely to participate in South Carolina’s Republican primary in February, 28% support Ben Carson and 27% support Donald Trump. Marco Rubio places third at 11%, followed by Ted Cruz (9%) and Jeb Bush (7%). None of the other ten candidates in the field scores higher than 2%. Monmouth’s prior South Carolina poll was conducted in late August just as Carson had started to surge after the first debate. In that poll, Trump led Carson by 30% to 15%. Since then, Trump’s support has held fairly steady, trailing off by only 3 points, while Carson’s support has nearly doubled. Rubio’s share of the vote has grown by 5 points and the Cruz vote has increased by 4 points.

    March 5, 2020 The Honorable Lindsey Graham The Honorable Patrick Leahy Chairman Ranking Member Subcommittee on State-Foreign Operations Subcommittee on State-Foreign Operations Committee on Appropriations Committee on Appropriations United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Graham and Ranking Member Leahy: On behalf of the more than 500 business and NGO members of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC), including business, military, and faith-based leaders in all 50 states, I write in strong opposition to an amendment proposed by Senator Rand Paul that would offset emergency funding to address the growing coronavirus threat by canceling over $8 billion in congressionally approved funds for the International Affairs Budget. If enacted, this amendment would cancel critical funding for State Department, USAID, and other development programs around the world, undermining our national security and economic interests and placing America’s global leadership at risk. Cuts of this magnitude would have devastating consequences on our ability to confront unprecedented global challenges – including countering China’s growing influence around the world, supporting partners in the fight against extremism, and addressing the impacts of the Venezuelan refugee crisis on key allies like Colombia. There is a strong bipartisan legacy in the Senate of rejecting deep and dangerous cuts to America’s development and diplomacy programs. I urge the Senate to once again take decisive action and reject Senator Paul’s shortsighted amendment. Doing so will ensure that resources already approved by Congress can be fully deployed to support cost-effective programs that advance America’s interests.
