Immigration Reform in the House – Republican Targets July 3, 2013 If there is a vote on comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship in the House, it will pass with a bipartisan majority. If all but a handful of the House Democrats vote yes, and at least 20 Republicans from the list below come along, reform can easily clear the 218 necessary to pass the lower chamber. Looking at the list of 99 House Republicans below, it’s clear that capturing those 20 or so Republican votes is well within reach. Our target list includes several different groups of Republicans, such as: Republicans with growing numbers of Latino and Asian constituents. While redistricting has temporarily insulated many House Republicans from the “demographic cliff” their party faces if it caters only to white voters," at least 38 Republican members of Congress represent heavily Latino districts--and approximately 25 GOP members are in diverse swing districts where the growing Latino, Asian, and immigrant vote is crucial. These include California Republicans Jeff Denham, David Valadao, Gary Miller, Buck McKeon and Devin Nunes; Colorado Republican Mike Coffman; Florida Republicans Mario Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (both of whom are longtime supporters of immigration reform); New York Republicans Peter King and Michael Grimm; and Nevada Republican Joe Heck. Republicans with agricultural or high-tech interests in their districts. Both the agriculture and high-tech sectors urgently need immigration reform to secure a 21st century workforce. Republicans who should support reform for the economic well-being of their districts include Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), Spencer Bachus (R-AL),and Sam Johnson (R-TX), all of whom represent agriculture-heavy districts, and Darrell Issa (R-CA), whose district includes tech interests. Republicans who understand the need for the Party to tackle immigration reform for its own future. Several leading figures in the House GOP have come out in favor of immigration reform since the election, understanding that, as a Republican National Committee report put it this spring, “among the steps Republicans take in the Hispanic community and beyond we must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform. If we do not, our Party’s appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only.” This group includes Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI), who told reporters last month that he believes the House can pass immigration reform with a path to citizenship; NRCC chairman Greg Walden (R-OR), who told USA Today last month that he believes the undocumented should have access to a path to citizenship; and rising star Raul Labrador (R-ID), who has remained committed to immigration reform even after leaving the bipartisan House “Gang of 8.” 1 Immigration Reform -- House Republican Target List Latino Population Name State District % Notes Relevant Link http://www.murkowski.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=PressReleases&Conte ntRecord_id=3653fc41-9953-4966-83a9- b5d6fdfa154f&ContentType_id=b94acc28-404a-4fc6-b143- Young, Don AK 1 5.50% a9e15bf92da4&Group_id=c01df158-d935-4d7a-895d-f694ddf41624 http://www.rollcall.com/news/bachus_immigration_overhaul_promotes_us_ Bachus, Spencer AL 6 4.80% Voted for VAWA economic_competitiveness-223058-1.html?pos=oplyh Womack, Steve AR 3 12.70% Salmon, Matt AZ 5 8.89% Schweikert, David AZ 6 15.20% Cook, Paul CA 8 35.30% Voted for VAWA DCCC immigration target; http://www.scpr.org/blogs/politics/2013/06/05/13912/house-conservatives- Denham, Jeff CA 10 40.06% voted for VAWA weigh-in-on-senate-immigration/ Voted against Steve King DACA amendment; voted http://www.bakersfieldcalifornian.com/opinion/our-view/x1028019795/At- Valadao, David G.

    May 13, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-232 The Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Speaker Pelosi, In accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance released on May 13, 2021 we urge you to immediately return to normal voting procedures and end mandatory mask requirements in the House of Representatives. CDC guidance states fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any setting except where required by governmental or workplace mandate. It is time to update our own workplace regulations. Every member of Congress has had the opportunity to be vaccinated, and you have indicated about 75 percent have taken advantage of this opportunity. The United States Congress must serve as a model to show the country we can resume normal life through vaccination. Let’s follow the science and get back to work.

    Federal Funding: Everybody Wants Some!

    Federal funding: everybody wants some! BY STEVE HYMON , OCTOBER 20, 2009 With Metro’s long-range plan (http://www.metro.net/board/Items/2009/10_October/20091014P&PItem10.pdf) scheduled for a vote Thursday, things around One Gateway Plaza are starting to heat up. Case in point: A letter from 14 members of Congress (http://www.metro.net/news_info/press/images/fedLetter102009.pdf) landed in the building Tuesday morning requesting that the Board of Directors seek federal money for three additional projects: The Gold Line Foothill Extension from Azusa to Montclair, the Crenshaw Corridor project (likely to be a light rail line) and the Eastside Gold Line Extension, which will travel from East L.A. to either South El Monte or Whittier. The letter comes about a month after the Board voted unanimously to request federal funding (http://www.metro.net/news_info/press/Metro_152.htm) for two projects — the subway extension on the Westside and the downtown regional connector, the two planned lines expected to have very high ridership. The Congress members in their letter say that federal money for the subway and regional connector could take several years to flow, so it would make sense in the meantime to try to secure money for other projects. “The Gold Line Foothill Extension project, Azusa to Montclair, is developed enough to be ready for Federal New Starts funds in the years before the Westside Subway Extension and the Regional Connector Transit Corridor,” write the Congress members. The long-range plan due for a vote on Thursday has the subway opening to Fairfax in 2019, the same year the downtown connector would open.

RCRC staff is encouraging member counties to send a letter supporting H.R. 836 and requesting that their Congressional representative join as a co-sponsor of the bill. Background Current U.S. EPA regulations preclude any individual from serving on a water quality permitting authority if that person receives “significant” income, defined as 10% or more of his or her income, from an entity holding or applying for a federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Because general permits and NPDES permits now cover the vast majority of local governments, school districts, etc., the 10% requirement is an obstacle for many qualified local government candidates. Issue H.R. 836 would replace the income restriction approach with a conflict of interest test by requiring the promulgation of a rule that would prohibit any member of a board or body that approves permit applications from voting on, or seeking to influence, the approval of any permit in which that member has a direct or indirect financial interest as defined in State law.
