  • 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 1, 2021 The Honorable Shelley Moore Capito The Honorable Mike Crapo 172 Russell Senate Office Building 239 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable John Barrasso The Honorable Cory Booker 307 Dirksen Senate Office Building 717 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Sheldon Whitehouse 530 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senators Capito, Barrasso, Whitehouse, Crapo, and Booker: We write to express our support for the American Nuclear Infrastructure Act (ANIA) and to encourage you to reintroduce and advance the legislation. The innovative programs established in this bill support currently operating nuclear reactors and the next generation of reactor technologies. ANIA would direct the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to continue to modernize its regulatory review processes. Efficiencies in the environmental review process and reviewing new license applications will help enable nuclear energy to deploy at a rapid enough scale to support decarbonization. In addition, preemptively reviewing U.S. Department of Energy sites for demonstration reactors can help companies partner with the National Labs to test out innovative concepts, including advanced methods of manufacturing and construction. Awarding prizes to first mover companies supports competition, but also recognizes the challenges of being first through the licensing process when using innovative technologies. The targeted credit program to preserve the existing nuclear fleet, the foundation of our nation’s low carbon electricity, allows plants to continue decreasing operating costs without prematurely shutting down. Advanced nuclear, due to its dispatchable and high temperature attributes, can also be used to decarbonize other energy sectors.

  • 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.

    April 15, 2021 The Honorable Deb Haaland Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, N.W. Washington DC 20240 Dear Secretary Haaland: We write in support of the Antiquities Act and the critical role it plays in protecting our nation’s most important and endangered places. Since 1906, sixteen presidents have used the Antiquities Act to protect places across our nation. From Chaco Canyon in New Mexico to Harriet Tubman’s house in Maryland, the Antiquities Act has long protected key landscapes and historical sites. National monuments protect our most precious natural, cultural, and historical resources, and threats to the integrity of any monuments established under the Antiquities Act threaten the protection of all monuments. During your confirmation process, you committed to undertaking a thorough review of the Antiquities Act proclamations of the previous Administration. Former President Trump illegally attempted to reduce the protections provided by proclamations that previous presidents issued. We urge you to defend the Antiquities Act and recommend that President Biden review President Trump’s actions and undo any unlawful attacks on the Antiquities Act. We thank you for your commitment to the conservation of our nation’s most important places and history. Sincerely, _______________________________/s/ Martin Heinrich _______________________________/s/ Ben Ray Luján Martin Heinrich Ben Ray Luján United States Senator United States Senator _______________________________/s/ RichardTammy BaldwinJ.

    For Immediate Release Contact: Kevin Perez-Allen, [email protected] December 22, 2020 (714) 499-4481 Marcus Silva, [email protected] (510) 456-5444 NALEO Congratulates California Secretary of State Alex Padilla on his Upcoming Appointment to the U.S. Senate Padilla will be the first Latino to represent California in the state’s 170-year history WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) today released the following statement from Board President Ricardo Lara after California Governor Gavin Newsom’s announcement that he will appoint Secretary of State Alex Padilla to Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’s soon-to-be vacated U.S. Senate seat: “NALEO congratulates California Secretary of State and former NALEO President Alex Padilla on his upcoming appointment to the United States Senate. This historic appointment represents the first time a Latino will represent California in the state’s 170-year history, an incredible milestone for the nearly 40 percent of residents who identify as Latino. “Through his public service career, Secretary Padilla has gained a deep understanding of the broad range of issues that face Californians and has been a consummate leader in pursuing innovative and effective policy solutions. He advanced measures addressing the state’s energy and transportation needs, the health of California’s families, and the education of California’s youth, including English language learners. As Secretary of State, he brought California’s democracy into the 21st century, by modernizing its voter registration system and making both in-person and vote-by-mail more accessible to all Californians.

  • April 24, 2017 the Honorable Tom Cotton U.S. Senate 124 Russell
    April 24, 2017 The Honorable Tom Cotton U.S. Senate 124 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable John Boozman U.S. Senate 141 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Marco Rubio U.S. Senate 284 Russell Senate Office Building Washington DC, 20510 Dear Senators Cotton, Boozman, and Rubio: The undersigned trade associations—representing collectively real estate professionals, home builders, and mortgage lenders and servicers—write today to express strong support for your recently introduced legislation, S.838, the Protecting Americans from Credit Entanglements Act of 2017. While energy efficient home improvements can be beneficial for homeowners, we have serious concerns with the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program construct. Residential PACE loans are—in substance—mortgage financing and should be subject to federal consumer protection requirements. S.838 will rightfully provide these loans the same Truth in Lending Act (TILA) consumer protections required of other mortgage products. As you know, PACE loans were developed to help finance energy efficient retrofits on real property—e.g., solar panels, energy efficient appliances and windows, etc. PACE program specifics vary by state/municipality, but typically these loans are initiated by the private companies approving contractors to make these improvements, with financing from proceeds raised by issuing municipal revenue bonds. The bonds are secured by the payments on the PACE loan obligation; the loan payments are added to the borrower’s property tax bill and then paid through property tax installments—typically over 15 or 20 years. The outstanding PACE loan obligation then runs with the property (not the borrower) going forward.
