  • Gone Rogue: Time to Reform the Presidential Primary Debates
    Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Discussion Paper Series #D-67, January 2012 Gone Rogue: Time to Reform the Presidential Primary Debates by Mark McKinnon Shorenstein Center Reidy Fellow, Fall 2011 Political Communications Strategist Vice Chairman Hill+Knowlton Strategies Research Assistant: Sacha Feinman © 2012 President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. How would the course of history been altered had P.T. Barnum moderated the famed Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858? Today’s ultimate showman and on-again, off-again presidential candidate Donald Trump invited the Republican presidential primary contenders to a debate he planned to moderate and broadcast over the Christmas holidays. One of a record 30 such debates and forums held or scheduled between May 2011 and March 2012, this, more than any of the previous debates, had the potential to be an embarrassing debacle. Trump “could do a lot of damage to somebody,” said Karl Rove, the architect of President George W. Bush’s 2000 and 2004 campaigns, in an interview with Greta Van Susteren of Fox News. “And I suspect it’s not going to be to the candidate that he’s leaning towards. This is a man who says himself that he is going to run— potentially run—for the president of the United States starting next May. Why do we have that person moderating a debate?” 1 Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the 2008 Republican nominee for president, also reacted: “I guarantee you, there are too many debates and we have lost the focus on what the candidates’ vision for America is..

  • Republican Party of Iowa 621 East 9Th Street Des Moines, IA 50309 ! !
    Republican Party of Iowa 621 East 9th Street Des Moines, IA 50309 ! ! TO: Interested Parties FROM: Jeff Kaufmann Chairman, Republican Party of Iowa DATE: May 27, 2015 SUBJECT: Participation in 2015 Straw Poll Preliminary Meetings Several individuals who are considering running for the Republican nomination for President in 2016, but who have not yet declared their candidacies, have questioned their ability to participate in the preliminary planning meetings for the 2015 Iowa Straw Poll (the “Straw Poll”) while they “test the waters” for a potential candidacy. Such individuals have expressed concerns that their participation in these preliminary meetings will trigger “candidate” status under federal election laws and require them to register as candidates with the Federal Election Commission (the “Commission”). In short, participation in the preliminary planning meetings for the Straw Poll would not cause these individuals to trigger candidate status. Iowa Straw Poll Preliminary Meetings In the lead up to the August 8, 2015 Straw Poll, the Republican Party of Iowa (“RPI”) will hold a number of preliminary meetings to address certain logistical issues for participants, potential participants, consultants and vendors. At these preliminary meetings, RPI will distribute draft rules for the Straw Poll, circulate a draft map and layout of the Straw Poll, provide an overview of the event’s activities, and address logistics about speaking order and ticket sales. Participation in the Straw Poll and any preliminary meetings leading up to the Straw Poll are by invitation only. RPI has invited declared candidates for President, as well as individuals who are not candidates but are considering running for President in 2016.

  • Learn Which Candidates We Supported in Your Community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE in the POLITICAL PROCESS a Message from Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC
    PFIZER PAC & CORPORATE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS REPORT 2005 – 2006 CYCLE Learn which candidates we supported in your community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS A Message From Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: One of our five immediate priorities at Pfizer is to engage more actively and meaningfully with patients, doctors, payers, governments and other key stakeholders. We’re reaching out to these important groups and working harder to meet their needs. We're also working harder to engage all stakeholders in the dialogue on health policy and actively participate in the discussion over how to improve the quality of healthcare, access to medicines, and incentives for innovation. Pfizer PAC is one of the key ways in which we engage with candidates for public office. Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle. I hope you will take some time to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your region. This was a successful year for Pfizer PAC. In the past election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported more than 2,277 candidates from both political parties, and at all levels of government. You, and Pfizer colleagues across America, definitely made a difference this past year through Pfizer PAC, by supporting candidates for public office who value access and innovation in healthcare. Thank you for your support—this report explains how Pfizer PAC put your generous contributions to use.
