  • Presession Report 2019

    Presession Report 2019

    PRESESSION REPORT 2019 PRE-FILED LEGISLATION • House http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/Prefiles.aspx?Chamber=2 • Senate http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/Prefiles.aspx?Chamber=1 There were 28 pre-filed pieces of legislation for 2019. While some were on the lighter side – such as naming the judicial center after Governor Nathan Deal and commending the Atlanta Braves 2018 season – some notables include the following: HB 2 – (Rep. Matt Gurtler) Allows certain Georgians to carry a firearm without a permit. HB 8 – (Rep. Debbie Buckner) Exempts certain women’s hygiene products from state sales tax. HR 2 – (Rep. Scot Turner) Prohibits the use of a poll tax in Georgia. HR 6 – (Rep. Michael Caldwell) Provides for term limits for state elected officials. SB 2 – (Sen. Steve Gooch) Allows for EMCs to partner with internet companies to provide broadband service to members. HOT BUTTON ISSUES FOR 2019 Education Throughout the campaign, Governor Kemp presented education as one of his top priorities. Included in this is teacher compensation and a priority on mental health counselors in schools as well as school security. We will also continue to watch and see how the state proceeds with the implementation of the testing pilot program passed in 2018. One complication in education policy in 2019 is a void in leadership in each Chamber. With the retirement of Brooks Coleman in the House and Senator Lindsey Tippins resigning his chairmanship, both committees are currently without a leader. We expect the new chairs to be announced any day now. Rural Georgia Throughout the 2018 Legislative Session and the 2018 Campaign season, we saw a recurring theme in that legislators see the need for reforms that aid rural Georgia.

    June 19, 2020 Volume 4, No

    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)

    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. Potential Outcomes On January 2021… White House Senate House of Representatives The Senate – Overview & Assessment § The Senate currently has 47 Democrats and 53 Republicans.

The ACLU of Georgia envisions a state that guarantees all persons the civil liberties and rights con- tained in the United States and Georgia Constitutions and Bill of Rights. The ACLU of Georgia en- hances and defends the civil liberties and rights of all Georgians through legal action, legislative and community advocacy and civic education and engagement. We are an inclusive, nonpartisan, state- wide organization powered by our members, donors and active volunteers. How do we select the bills to analyze? Which bills did we choose, and why?
