CALENDAR Virginia Governor: Republican Rebound? This issue brought to you by Virginia Governor: Republican Rebound? By Jacob Rubashkin JANUARY 22, 2021 VOLUME 5, NO. 2 It doesn’t have the same pomp and circumstance as the presidential inauguration, but the Virginia gubernatorial election is the next big political event on the docket. As one of only two states electing a 2022 Senate Ratings governor in 2021 (New Jersey is the other), all eyes often turn to Virginia at the beginning of each presidential term for clues into what the political BATTLEGROUND environment for the midterm elections could feel like. Democratic-Held (4) Republican-Held (4) This year is also the beginning of a huge cycle for governors elections. Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) NC Open (Burr, R) While just 11 states elected a governor in 2020, 36 states will elect a Hassan (D-N.H.) PA Open (Toomey, R) governor in 2022, including the biggest states in the country such as New Kelly (D-Ariz.) Johnson (R-Wisc.) York, California, Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania. And with Congress Warnock (D-Ga.) Rubio (R-Fl.) consistently and evenly divided, control of the states is critical. Solid Democratic (10) Solid Republican (16) The Lay of the Land Bennet (D-Colo.)

Kennedy (R-La.) houses of the state Legislature, a majority of the state’s Congressional Schatz (D-Hawaii) Lankford (R-Ok.) delegation, and just won the state’s 13 Electoral College votes. The last Schumer (D-N.Y.) Lee (R-Utah) time all that was true was in 1964. Van Hollen (D-Md.) Moran (R-Kan.) Republicans have not won a statewide race in the last decade. That’s Wyden (D-Ore.)

Portman (R-Ohio) Democrats’ victories in the back half of the decade are noticeably Scott (R-S.C.) larger than in the early 2010s. In 2012, President Barack Obama won Shelby (R-Ala.) by 4 points while Tim Kaine won the Senate race by 6 points. In 2013, Thune (R-S.D.) Terry McAuliffe won a narrower-than-expected 48-45 percent victory Young (R-Ind.) over Ken Cuccinelli in the gubernatorial race, and in 2014, Ed Gillespie nearly pulled off a shocking upset in the Senate race, losing to Sen. Mark Warner by just 1 point. But in 2016, Clinton carried the state by 6 points, in 2017 Ralph Northam won by a 9-point margin over Gillespie in the gubernatorial contest, and in 2018 and 2020 Sens.

    1 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2018 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies -- from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more -- that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon and its affiliates during the first half of 2018. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L.

  • Bingaman Safe, Johnson Dems' Only Threat in Open Seat Race
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 8, 2011 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Bingaman safe, Johnson Dems’ only threat in open seat race Raleigh, N.C. – New Mexico Senator Jeff Bingaman generally cruises to re-election, and if he chooses to go for a sixth term, he would start off as a heavy favorite. But there has been some speculation he will instead retire. In his stead, Democrats should still be in strong shape to hold his seat unless popular former Governor Gary Johnson declines a run for president to make a bid for Congress’ upper chamber instead. With a 56-27 approval-disapproval margin, Bingaman is more popular at home than all but four of the 77 colleagues which PPP has measured in the last year or so. This strong favor with his voters gives Bingaman formidable odds to walk to re-election, even against Johson, whose 44-32 favorability rating makes him considerably the best liked of the non-Bingaman candidates, and who is almost equally popular with Democrats, Republicans, and independents. Johnson comes closest to beating the incumbent, yet still trails, 51-40. By comparison, Rep. Steve Pearce lags Bingaman, 57-34, and Rep. Heather Wilson trails, 56-37. The Republicans all do what would make them far more competitive in almost any other state: they at least match the incumbent in party unity and take more of his voters from him than he does of theirs.
