  • 2014 Election Preview OIA GA FINAL10.27.14.Pdf
    2014 Election Preview I. Background on 2014 elections The 2014 election had been difficult to predict due to some dead-heat races in the Senate, but it appears that Republicans will have an edge next Tuesday in many close races and are poised to take control of Congress. The House of Representatives will stay Republican- controlled, with very few tight races due to districting. The Senate is the big wild card here as there is a great deal of uncertainty around what could happen in nine key races, just six of which could cost the Democrats their majority. Republicans should be on their way to a shoe-in election, gaining them control of both chambers of Congress due to a very unpopular 2nd term President and Congress’ low approval rating. However, because of campaign gaffes, some lack-luster candidates, and stumbles in races that should have been safe, their take-over of the Senate is in no way guaranteed. In general, Democrats need to focus on turnout/grassroots efforts, and Republicans need to focus on shoring up their base and avoiding gaffes. Things could also change a lot over the next few weeks so event at this late date, some races are very difficult to predict. II. United States House of Representatives All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for re-election. Currently, Republicans control 233 seats and Democrats control 199 seats, with 3 vacancies. The 2014 election is unlikely to change Republicans strong majority in the House and may, in fact, result in a larger number of Republican controlled seats, as they are projected to add 5-7 seats on November 4th.

  • Capitol Insurrection at Center of Conservative Movement
    Capitol Insurrection At Center Of Conservative Movement: At Least 43 Governors, Senators And Members Of Congress Have Ties To Groups That Planned January 6th Rally And Riots. SUMMARY: On January 6, 2021, a rally in support of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election “turned deadly” when thousands of people stormed the U.S. Capitol at Donald Trump’s urging. Even Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who rarely broke with Trump, has explicitly said, “the mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the President and other powerful people.” These “other powerful people” include a vast array of conservative officials and Trump allies who perpetuated false claims of fraud in the 2020 election after enjoying critical support from the groups that fueled the Capitol riot. In fact, at least 43 current Governors or elected federal office holders have direct ties to the groups that helped plan the January 6th rally, along with at least 15 members of Donald Trump’s former administration. The links that these Trump-allied officials have to these groups are: Turning Point Action, an arm of right-wing Turning Point USA, claimed to send “80+ buses full of patriots” to the rally that led to the Capitol riot, claiming the event would be one of the most “consequential” in U.S. history. • The group spent over $1.5 million supporting Trump and his Georgia senate allies who claimed the election was fraudulent and supported efforts to overturn it. • The organization hosted Trump at an event where he claimed Democrats were trying to “rig the election,” which he said would be “the most corrupt election in the history of our country.” • At a Turning Point USA event, Rep.

  • 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 ....................................................................................................................

  • Alex Youn, Campaign Manager DA
    TO: Reporters, Editorial Boards & Interested Parties FR: Alex Youn, Campaign Manager DA: Tuesday, May 20, 2014 RE: Republicans Poised To Nominate A Deeply Flawed Candidate Who'd Be a Rubber Stamp For the National Republican Agenda – That Doesn't Win Oregon It's unclear which candidate will prevail in the deeply divided Oregon Senate Republican primary election on Tuesday, but one thing this is already certain: Monica Wehby and Jason Conger are deeply-flawed candidates. Both are out of touch with Oregon values, and support a national Republican agenda that would hurt Oregon. And neither can win Oregon or defeat Sen. Jeff Merkley in November. NATIONAL GOP & SPECIAL INTEREST BACKERS Over the past several months, a V.I.P. list of failed Republican presidential hopefuls and national Republican Party figureheads have lined up to endorse Monica Wehby and Jason Conger in the Oregon GOP primary. Conger's attracted the support of Rick Santorum. Wehby's been endorsed by Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney. Karl Rove's raved about Wehby, and FOX News commentator Ben Carson, who called health care reform "the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery," has come to Oregon to raise money for her. And both are backed by the national Republican Party's SuperPACs and corporate special interests. There's a reason why Washington D.C. Republicans are so interested in putting Wehby or Conger in the Senate – because if either goes to Washington, they'll vote with Senate Republicans against Oregon's priorities. RUBBER STAMP FOR NATIONAL GOP AGENDA When Monica Wehby was asked by the Oregonian where she differed with the national GOP, she "couldn't point to any specifics where she knows she would depart from the majority of Senate Republicans." Wehby and Conger support the national Republican agenda to give massive tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires while rewarding corporations who ship jobs overseas – all while slashing education funding and job training for the middle class.

  • Outdoor Industry Association 2014 Election Preview
    Outdoor Industry Association 2014 Election Preview BACKGROUND ON 2014 ELECTIONS The 2014 election has been difficult to predict due to some dead-heat races in the U.S. Senate, but it appears that Republicans will have an edge next Tuesday in many close races and are poised to take control of Congress. Republicans need a net gain of six seats to win the majority in the Senate and control of both chambers of Congress. Republicans will continue to have a significant majority in the House of Representatives. The Outdoor Industry Association government affairs team has been closely monitoring dozens of races across the country. We work with donors to the OIA Political Action Committee (OIAPAC), who give their personal dollars, to support candidates who support the outdoor industry. OIA member dues are not donated to political candidates. UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for re-election. Currently, Republicans control 233 seats and Democrats control 199 seats, with 3 vacancies. The 2014 election is unlikely to change the Republican “supermajority” in the House and may, in fact, result in a larger number of Republican controlled seats, as they are projected to add between five and seven seats to their majority on November 4. Some of the key races Outdoor Industry Association is watching are those where OIA Political Action Committee (OIAPAC), made contributions. Those include: Representative Jared Polis (D, CO-2) – OIAPAC contributed $5000 to Polis. He has consistently been a champion for the outdoor industry, strongly supporting the recreation and trade agendas and regularly meeting with industry executives.

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION JIM WILLIAMS KATE BROWN DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 Robert tayLOR SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 Dear Oregon Voters, Welcome to the 2014 Primary Election Voters’ Pamphlet. Enclosed you will find valuable information about candidates and issues. If you are not yet registered to vote, you have until April 29, 2014, to do so. Here in Oregon we have made it easy for eligible Oregonians to register, update your registration and track your ballot. Simply visit www.oregonvotes.gov. As your Secretary of State, my goal is to encourage all eligible Oregonians to exercise their most fundamental right to vote. If you’re questioning whether your one vote really makes a difference, then consider this: I won my first race for the state House by just seven votes. Every vote counts! Your vote is your voice, and every voice matters! As Oregon’s top elections official, sometimes I have to tell hard truths. And the truth is that four years ago in the last gubernatorial primary election total voter participation was only 41.62%. In other words, less than half of registered voters actually cast a vote during the 2010 primary. We can do better than that! Indeed, in 2010, there were some bright spots. Lake County had a voter participation rate of 63.90% - more than 20 percentage points higher than the statewide average! Close on Lake County’s heels were Harney County at 62.29% and Gilliam County at 60.05%.
