  • Rainbow Coalition of Vermont Records, 1984-1991 Doc 454, MSA 212, Size D
    Rainbow Coalition of Vermont Records, 1984-1991 Doc 454, MSA 212, Size D Introduction This collection consists of the records of the Rainbow Coalition of Vermont, 1984-1991, a progressive political organization that worked within and outside the Vermont Democratic Party to elect candidates and increase voter participation. The collection was given to the Vermont Historical Society by Mary Deaett of the Rainbow Coalition in 1992 (ms. acc. no. 92.5). The collection is housed in one document storage box, one archival flip-top box, and one oversized folder; it occupies 1.5 linear feet of shelf space. Agency History The Rainbow Coalition was organized in 1984 during Jesse Jackson’s first run for president. It brought together progressive political activists from throughout the state to support Jackson and his platform. In the elections of 1984, 1986, 1988, and 1990 the Rainbow Coalition supported both Democratic and independent candidates in legislative and state races, and worked inside and outside of the Vermont Democratic Party to advance progressive positions on a variety of issues. The Rainbow Coalition was closely affiliated with the Progressive Coalition of Burlington, Vermont. Bernard Sanders, a member of the Progressive Coalition, had been elected mayor of Burlington in 1981. In 1988 he ran for Vermont’s lone seat in the U. S. Congress as a member the Progressive Coalition with support from the Rainbow Coalition. Sanders lost that year to Peter Smith. Two years Sanders defeated Smith to win the Congressional seat. By 1992, the Rainbow Coalition formally merged with the Progressive Coalition to establish a statewide electoral organization, devoted exclusively to supporting progressive candidates running outside of the major parties.

  • Autism Society Public Policy and Advocacy Newsletter - February 22, 2018
    Autism Society Public Policy and Advocacy Newsletter - February 22, 2018 BUDGET AND APPROPRIATIONS On February 12, President Trump transmitted his Budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2019 to Congress. The Autism Society provided a summary analyzing the impact on programs that support people with disabilities immediately following its release. The Budget makes significant cuts to numerous programs that support people with disabilities and other vulnerable people. The President’s Budget is just the first step in year-long budget and appropriations process. In the week before the budget was released, congressional leaders came to an agreement on a top-line number for discretionary spending for Fiscal Year 2018 that began on October 1, 2017. This deal will allow the Congress to finalize the 12 annual appropriations bills, hopefully before the next continuing resolution (CR) expires on March 23. Congress will then have to start working on passing annual appropriations bills for the Fiscal Year 2019. The budget deal to lift the caps on discretionary spending will help smooth this process in an election year. The Autism Society will be monitoring this process closely and advocating for the highest possible funding for programs important to the individuals and families we serve. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT Last week, the House of Representatives passed the ADA Education and Reform Act of 2017 (H.R. 620) by a vote of 225- 192. This bill prevents lawsuits over architectural barriers violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) unless an individual provides "specific enough" notice and allows 120 days for a business to correct that barrier. Please use this linkto see how your Representative voted on the ADA Education and Reform Act of 2017 and thank members that voted against the bill.

  • In Florida, Marco Rubio Looks Set to Win a Senate Race That Will Have a Lasting Impact on US Politics
    In Florida, Marco Rubio looks set to win a Senate race that will have a lasting impact on US politics. blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2016/09/16/in-florida-marco-rubio-looks-set-to-win-a-senate-race-that-will-have-a-lasting-impact-on-us-politics/ 9/16/2016 In the first article in our new series covering key Senate races in the 2016 election cycle, Rolda Darlington takes a close look at the race between the incumbent Republican Marco Rubio and Democrat Patrick Murphy. She writes that despite Murphy’s apparent talent for career politics, Rubio looks set to win an election that will have important implications for how the next president governs- whoever they may be. This week the Congressional primary season came to an end as Delaware, New Hampshire, New York, and Rhode Island voters went to the polls to cast their ballots. It has been a contentious and arduous primary season in 2016, not made any easier by the impending Presidential election. One state that remains on the radar, for a number of reasons, is Florida, which held its primary elections on August 30th. In that election, Florida voters cast their lots for who would compete for the upcoming Senate race. In what is expected to be one of the nation’s most expensive Senate races this year, the victorious contenders, representing the Republican and Democratic parties were Marco Rubio and Patrick Murphy, respectively. Florida’s Senate race is one of the nine competitive battleground races, which could determine which party controls the upper chamber of Congress after the November election.

  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................
