    This issue brought to you by Georgia Senate: The Road to Redemption By Jacob Rubashkin JUNE 19, 2020 VOLUME 4, NO. 12 Jon Ossoff has been the punchline of an expensive joke for the last three years. But the one-time failed House candidate might get the last laugh in a Senate race that has been out of the spotlight until recently. 2020 Senate Ratings Much of the attention around Georgia has focused on whether it’s a Toss-Up presidential battleground and the special election to fill the seat left by GOP Sen. Johnny Isakson. Collins (R-Maine) Tillis (R-N.C.) Polls consistently show Joe Biden running even with President McSally (R-Ariz.) Donald Trump, and Biden’s emerging coalition of non-white and Tilt Democratic Tilt Republican suburban voters has many Democrats feeling that this is the year they turn Georgia blue. Gardner (R-Colo.) In the race for the state’s other seat, appointed-GOP Sen. Kelly Lean Democratic Lean Republican Loeffler has been engulfed in an insider trading scandal, and though Peters (D-Mich.) KS Open (Roberts, R) the FBI has reportedly closed its investigation, it’s taken a heavy toll on Daines (R-Mont.) her image in the state. While she began unknown, she is now deeply Ernst (R-Iowa) unpopular; her abysmal numbers have both Republican and Democratic opponents thinking they can unseat her. Jones (D-Ala.) All this has meant that GOP Sen. David Perdue has flown under the Likely Democratic Likely Republican radar. But that may be changing now that the general election matchup Cornyn (R-Texas) is set.

    Trump V. Biden & Trump V. Clinton (53 Days Out) § Clinton led Trump in most of the final polls before the 2016 election, but still lost. § Polling trend lines can also shift significantly as Election Day draws near — no guarantee Biden’s lead will continue through the fall. § 53 days left until November 3rd – A LOT CAN HAPPEN. Can Trump Repeat History? § Polls are showing Biden leading. § Political pundits and reporters saying Trump can’t win and sneering at his voter base… HOWEVER…. § The stock market has hit record highs in recent weeks. § Trump is doing better in swing states. § Aggressive messaging from the Trump campaign highlighting Biden’s lack of achievements and Kamala Harris’ leftist policies. § “If you look at Joe Biden’s goals and Bernie Sanders’s goals, they’re not that different, from a forty- thousand-foot level.” – Former President Obama, August 23rd § Trump’s base continues to support him. Some differences between the 2016 race and the 2020 race: § Biden is viewed more favorably than Clinton. § Trump can still count himself as the outsider – but he now has a record to defend § A poll conducted by WSJ in August found 13% of voters remain "in play," enough to tip the election. § The same poll also found that also found Trump’s standing with Hispanics is as good if not better than 2016 — and had improved his image by 20 points among whites, who are more than 70% of the electorate.

  • 2020 Election Recap

    2020 Election Recap

    2020 Election Recap Below NACCHO summarizes election results and changes expected for 2021. Democrats will continue to lead the House of Representatives…but with a smaller majority. This means that many of the key committees for public health will continue to be chaired by the same members, with notable exceptions of the Appropriations Committee, where Chair Nita Lowey (D-NY) did not run for reelection; the Agriculture Committee, which has some jurisdiction around food safety and nutrition, whose Chair, Colin Peterson (D-MN) lost, as well as the Ranking Member for the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Greg Walden, (R-OR) who did not run for reelection. After the 117th Congress convenes in January, internal leadership elections will determine who heads these and other committees. The following new Representatives and Senators are confirmed as of January 7. House of Representatives Note: All House of Representative seats were up for re-election. We list only those where a new member will be coming to Congress below. AL-1: Republican Jerry Carl beat Democrat James Averhart (open seat) Carl has served a member of the Mobile County Commission since 2012. He lists veterans’ health care and border security as policy priorities. Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-AL) vacated the seat to run for Senate. AL-2: Republican Barry Moore beat Democrat Phyllis Harvey-Hall (open seat) Moore served in the Alabama House of Representatives from 2010 to 2018. The seat was vacated by Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL) who retired. CA-8 Republican Jay Obernolte beat Democrat Christine Bubser (open seat) Jay Obsernolte served in the California State Assembly since 2014.

    WHO WEARE Progressive Turnout Project is the largest voter contact organization in the country. Our mission: Get Democrats to vote. We were founded in 2015 to fill a void in Democratic strategy - the lack of an organization 100% focused on targeted field conversations in highly competitive House and Senate races, instead of pouring money into ineffective TV ads. "I'm grateful that Progressive Turnout Project is puttingin the hard work to turn out voters for Democrats upand down theticket. PTP supports grassroots candidates who run in tough races and helped me win in 2018." Rep. Katie Porter (CA-45) In the past five years, Progressive Turnout Project has taken a leadership role in testing new field tactics and fine-tuning our traditional door-to-door canvass program. In 2020, we developed a robust digital and phone program, plus expanded outreach to Latinx and Spanish-speaking voters. With Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the White House, and Democrats in control in Congress, we wanted to share our latest work with you. ARIZONA was on our watchlist for two big reasons: a vulnerable incumbent Republican Senator, Martha McSally, and a growing Democratic electorate thanks to years of work by local groups. Our Phoenix and Tucson teams (plus volunteers) made more than 4.2 million voter-contact attempts to flip Arizona for Mark Kelly and Joe Biden. 89 staff on the ground $2,827,000 investment In GEORGIA, our more than 11.6 million voter- contact attempts helped turn out the voters Democrats needed not only to win these 16 electoral votes but also to send Rev.

    June 14, 2021 The Honorable Tammy Baldwin The Honorable John Hoeven Chairwoman Ranking Member Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies Administration and Related Agencies Senate Committee on Appropriations Senate Committee on Appropriations Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairwoman Baldwin and Ranking Member Hoeven, As you work to develop the Fiscal Year 2022 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill, we write to express our strong support for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Distance Learning and Telemedicine (DLT) grant program. The DLT grant program assists rural and tribal communities in acquiring distance learning and telemedical technologies so that local teachers and medical service providers can connect to educators and medical professionals in other parts of the country. Since 1994, the DLT grant program has helped to establish hundreds of distance learning and telemedicine systems, improving the quality of life for thousands of residents in rural communities all across the United States. DLT specifically helps rural communities invest in telecommunications-enabled information, audio and visual equipment, and advanced technologies to assist its residents in accessing educational and health care services. Recipients have used the program to provide distance learning paramedic courses to first responders, improve access to specialty health education, and establish partnerships between rural high schools and community colleges. Recent DLT recipients have used the grants to help address opioid abuse treatment and mental health counseling in rural America. These educational and health services are vital.
