VIRGINIA CAPITOL CONNECTIONS, SPRING 2011 5 March 14, 1957– A Bruce F.

I am extremely honored to have been knew him well and by people who have only known him for a short asked by Bruce’s wife, Elizabeth, to pay tribute today to my former time. But what these stories share at their core is the great impact roommate, travel companion, trusted confidante, valued mentor, that one man can make on another’s life through the seemingly frequent collaborator, sometime co-conspirator, wonderful boss, and simple act of reaching out and making a connection. For many, Bruce dearest friend —Bruce Jamerson. connected by sending a note or a card, for others it was a phone call Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Like to say congratulations or best wishes. And for many of us, in times of you, I am overwhelmed by the reality of our need to gather here personal sorrow, Bruce was always there to offer his sympathy and today. This was a week that we were to welcome him back from his condolences, going out of his way to attend the funeral of a loved Mediterranean cruise. This was not supposed to be the week that one. I am certain that everyone in the room today has an example or we were to gather to say goodbye to this remarkable man. And he a story of their own. His were not not grand gestures, but simple and was remarkable. His life was remarkable. And the depth to which he consistent acts of thoughtfulness and kindness. On this foundation, touched our lives—often through the simplest acts of thoughtfulness Bruce built his reputation, his career, his friendships, and his legacy. and kindness—is a remarkable legacy that will live on after him in Bruce was Clerk of the House for 19 and a half years. In terms of the memories that each of us will cherish and the stories we will tell. consecutive years of service, his tenure is fourth all time in the history And so we give thanks for his life and honor him through the of House Clerks. That’s a remarkable statistic. And we know that he telling of stories and the sharing of memories. My story and my was respected and loved by the members of the House. But he was memories of Bruce Jamerson begin when I was in high school and also adored by those that called him boss. Bruce was our boss, but he worked in the House Post Office in 1980. But I have been amazed by called us his family. He believed that. We were his extended family, the stories that I have heard this week—some told on the floor of the and he cared for us in a familial, almost paternal way. He was proud of House, some shared via email, others by phone call—by people who his staff. He would say over and over again the he would put his “staff up against any other clerk’s staff in the country,” and he believed that. He was a believer in allowing staff to participate in professional organizations, and because of this several members of the House staff have become leaders in national legislative organizations. He knew that what was learned through sharing ideas with others across the country would benefit the members in Richmond, and he was right. He placed a high value on continuity. He was proud to list the number of years of service that his staff had accumulated working for the House, and so he worked hard to make sure that employees wanted stay with the House. And we did. Staff turnover in the House of Delegates is very rare, in no small measure because Bruce made us feel a part of something bigger than ourselves. He made our work seem important and helped us put it in the context of the bigger picture. He worked hard, from the day he first became Clerk, to elevate the level of professionalism in the House Clerk’s office, and, indeed one of his lasting legacies

  • CHAPTER 3 Networks on the Ground
    CHAPTER 3 Networks on the Ground “There’s only one way to hold a district: you must study human nature and act accordin’. You can’t study human nature in books. Books is a hindrance more than anything else. If you have been to college, so much the worse for you. You’ll have to unlearn all you learned before you can get right down to human nature, and unlearnin’ takes a lot of time. Some men can never forget what they learned at college...To learn real human nature you have to go among the people, see them and be seen.” – George W. Plunkitt1 3.1 Parties on the Ground If one accepts this more di↵use definition of political parties, we should forgive an initial sense of pessimism or despondency toward our ability to study their behavior in a systematic fashion. The diversity of potential actors – from party organizations, to activist networks; from interest groups, to old-fashioned machines – multiplies both the potential environments and potential resources available for electoral intervention. And worse yet, the actions of these extended party networks are often purposefully kept from the public eye. The choice to recruit candidates for office, pressure others out of a contest, or expend resources in support of particular campaigns are at best highly sensitive decisions and at worst skirt the borders of legality.2 Moreover, the individual state primary and nomination contests are scattered over 1Riordan, William. 1905. Plunkitt of Tammany Hall. The Project Gutenberg. 2For example, the same union officials central to the coming example in Pennsylvania’s 13th district are currently under a FBI investigation covering “virtually every aspect of the union’s operations, as well as [the union leader’s] personal finances” (Phillips and Fazlollah 2017).

Governor McAuliffe provided an overview of his Administration’s recent accomplishments, including an agreement on improvements to Interstate 66, enhancements to the school breakfast program, efforts to expand the capacity of the Port of Virginia and work to assist Dulles Airport with retention of its major carriers (the Governor later announced United Airlines had agreed to a long-term lease extension that afternoon). The Governor reiterated the need to diversify Virginia’s economy and lessen its dependence on federal spending, particularly in light of a potential second round of sequestration scheduled to take place in October 2017. He signaled that Medicaid expansion remains a priority for his Administration, though he indicated that he remains at an impasse with the majority in the General Assembly on this issue.
