OFFICE OF COMMUNICATION, SENATOR TARIK LEE Ms. Kelli Kweve, Director Mr. Elijah Park, Press Secretary Press Release #004 SENATOR LEE IS INVESTING IN OPPORTUNITY AND BREAKING BARRIERS WITH UNVEILED HBCU AND MSI BILL WASHINGTON D.C. - Senator Tarik Lee (R-GA) introduced the Advancing Education Opportunity for HBCUs and MSIs Act of 2017 along with Majority Leader Everhart and other black Senators to permanently fund HBCUs and MSIs and increase their level of support from the federal government. The legislation comes after years of HBCUs being underfunded by state and federal governments, limiting the tools and resources for students to achieve success in the future. The legislation would tackle the funding issues by 1) providing permanent funding and 2) by increasing the funding capacity. Senator Tarik Lee said, "There's been a many years of this funding gap between white schools and black schools, and every year this discussion comes up but nothing is done about it. I spent a lot of time and money in my nonprofit to do something about this, however, there's only so much I can do with our limited resources. Many schools like Morehouse and Spelman in my home state have had to fight for more and more resources. Underfunding has left students at a disadvantage with room shortages, pest infestations, student-athletes facing ineligibility, and so many more problems that hinder these students' chances at an equal education. HBCUs and MSIs have received the short end of the stick for too long and now's the time to end it." Senator Lee's legislation would: Permanently fund HBCUs and increase their funding capacity; Establishes a grant program to support long-term improvements of HBCUs and graduate programs at HBCUs; Award grants to HBCUs for constructing and renovating facilities, carrying out major repairs, and strengthening safety and security of a campus; Addresses the capacity of HBCUs to participate in federal programs; Enhance communication between the White House and HBCUs concerning programs, grants, or cooperative agreements; and Grants statutory authority to the President HBCU Advisory Board. Senator Lee remains committed to advancing education opportunities for all Americans so that all students may have an equal opportunity at the American Dream. "I will always put the needs of those who long for a fighting chance ahead of those looking for a handout. Education isn't just a privilege, it is a right."

He's just gonna have to switch.

OFFICE OF COMMUNICATION, SENATOR TARIK LEE Ms. Kelli Kweve, Director Mr. Elijah Park, Press Secretary Press Release #003 SENATOR LEE URGES CAUTION IN ADDRESSING CRIME LEGISLATION, PRIORITIZING PUBLIC SAFETY WASHINGTON D.C. - Today, Senator Tarik J. Lee (R-GA) spoke to the Senate regarding S.7 Reversing Mass Incarceration Act of 2017 and the dangers to American communities everywhere if this bill were to pass, underscoring the importance of prioritizing public safety while addressing the complexities of crime and incarceration in our nation. The legislation in question, which allocates a substantial sum of $4 billion to states for implementing programs to reduce crime rates and incarcerations, has sparked considerable debate within the Senate chambers. Senator Lee commended the intentions of the bill's proponents but voiced strong opposition to its current method of implementation. Senator Lee laid out the following as reasons for his opposition: 1. Budget allocation has zero dollars in offsets, further expanding the debt. 2. The eligibility criteria incentives reducing mass incarceration over public safety without clear guidelines on who should be released. 3. The evidence-based programs are concerning since the bill does not offer any proper oversight for ineffective or harmful programs. 4. Not much on public safety. Read Senator Lee's Senate floor speech on the topic or listen to at www.lee.senate.gov/videos/senator-lee "I rise today in opposition to this legislation. I commend the intentions of the gentlemen from Maryland for wanting to reduce incarceration in our nation, however, I cannot agree with this method of going about that change, nor do I agree with the implications that this bill would have on our nation. For starters, Madam President, the bill allocates a significant sum of $2 billion - $4 billion in total - to states, divided of course, for the purpose of implementing programs aimed at reducing crime rates and incarcerations. On the surface, this may seem like a laudable endeavor. Who wouldn't want to see a decrease in crime in our country? I live for the day, however, the devil, as they say, is in the details. With the funding this bill proposes, in which there is no offset to save taxpayers' dollars, the eligibility criteria do nothing to reduce crime, rather, it incentivizes more heavily a reduction of mass incarceration without setting a clear guideline on who should be released. There seems to be an emphasis on "evidence-based" programs in this bill and it sounds appealing, but what exactly does that entail? Who determines what qualifies as evidence-based? Without clear guidelines and oversight, there's a risk that states may implement programs that are ineffective or harmful to both individuals and our communities. The only evidence that we have is that the more criminals are released onto our streets, the higher the crime rate. This does not ensure public safety and that should be one reason for this bill to be pulled or killed. The goals of this bill may be well-intentioned, the means by which it seeks to achieve them are deeply flawed. We cannot afford to prioritize reducing incarceration rates at the expense of public safety and the well-being of our communities. It is imperative that we reassess this proposal and consider alternative approaches that address the complexities of crime and incarceration in a more holistic and responsible manner. I yield."

OFFICE OF COMMUNICATION, SENATOR TARIK LEE Ms. Kelli Kweve, Director Mr. Elijah Park, Press Secretary Press Release #002 SENATOR LEE APPOINTED VICE CHAIR OF THE RNC WASHINGTON D.C. - Today, Senator Tarik J. Lee was appointed as the Vice Chair of the Republican National Committee.

OFFICE OF COMMUNICATION, SENATOR TARIK LEE Ms. Kelli Kweve, Director Mr. Elijah Park, Press Secretary Press Release #001 SENATOR LEE OPPOSES KBJ's SCOTUS NOMINATION WASHINGTON D.C. - Today, President Murphy nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, an extreme activist judge, to the Supreme Court. Senator Lee is strongly opposing the nomination. "First and foremost, our nation continues to move forward strong after the resignation of de la Cruz. That's always a win for the people. What's not a win, however, is the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson, an activist judge who has spent her career departing from the very document she is supposed to uphold and interpret. Judge Jackson, glad to see a sista being nominated, but she's just too liberal and not the right person for the job. As it stands, I am opposed to her confirmation, but I do look forward to meeting with her and asking her some very important questions regarding her judicial philosophy."

Unpacking Leadership in the 115th Congress BY JEAN PIERRE - Quarter 1, 2017 The 115th Congress commenced its new session on January 3rd of this year, signaling the start of legislative activities in the United States Congress. During this session, both major political parties selected their leadership teams. While the House leadership remained largely unchanged, with the addition of Jim Jordan being a notable exception, significant shifts occurred in the Senate leadership. However, beneath the surface, challenges and ambitions emerged, particularly within the Republican Party, as various individuals aimed to assert control and advocate for reforms within their party. In the House of Representatives, the leadership landscape remained largely unchanged, with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan continuing to wield considerable influence. Despite facing internal challenges and external pressures from a small number of Freedom Caucus members, Ryan's tenure as Speaker demonstrated a commitment to navigating complex legislative agendas and balancing the diverse interests within his party. Democrats re-elected House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi after stiff opposition from Congressman Ashford and internal calls for leadership changes but ultimately retained her position, showcasing her adeptness at managing intra-party dynamics and maintaining unity in the face of ideological differences. However, the Senate presented a starkly different picture, with leadership changes occurring in both parties. With Mitch McConnell out, a leadership vacuum opened up in the Senate Republican Conference with several candidates vying for the position they could have won, or at least they thought. Many members came out early on in support of Cliff Flemming (R-AL), securing the bid with a clear majority voting in his favor. Fleming graduated from the University of Alabama (ROLL TIDE) with his B.S. in Political Science. After college Fleming, was a radio host on various political and conspiratorial programs, it was not quite coast to coast but was all around the nation. After years of just speaking about politics, he decided to take part in it. In 1990, he was elected to the House of Representatives representing the 5th district. He served for 18 years in this seat. In 2008, he ran for the Senate and won the class 2 seat. He is the most tenured of all people serving in a leadership position in this Congress. Openly gay Senator from Ohio, Will Croft, was chosen as the Senate Republican Whip, but his appointment to leading Senate Republicans has not only come with major backlash from traditional conservative voters, it could cost them, in the long run, depending on how he performs. Serving his first term, Croft is very young. The youngest member in the Senate. Croft is openly homosexual. Croft attended Ohio State University graduating with a B.S. in Agriculture. Croft was a big supporter of the Tea Party Movement in 2010, which would lead him to serve as a representative from Ohio's 6th Congressional District. During his third term, he would serve as the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Work and Welfare. After Senator Rob Portman announced retirement, Croft would start his campaign for his seat in the Senate. Croft authored a book during his time in the House called "Our Forgotten Founding- Returning to the Principles that Make America Great." The former Republican Vice Presidential Nominee is now serving as the RNC Chair. General Charles Walker came to D.C. with an outsider approach. Walker graduated from West Point with a B.S. and then earned a Rhodes scholarship and studied Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) at the University of Oxford. He would graduate with a degree from here. Walker joined the army as 2nd Lieutenant in 1978 and continued to move up the ranks until 2007 when he would reach the rank of General. Walker was been a huge critic of President Obama. In 2014, General Walker wrote a book, "How to Secure America," speaking about his background and providing strategies to ensure the security of America moving forward. In 2015, it was rumored Walker would be running for President. Walker formally announced his candidacy in Los Angeles, CA. In January 2016, Walker placed second in the Iowa and New Hampshire primary while winning South Carolina. Walker would decide to drop from the race and endorse Katherine McCord. After McCord was announced the nominee she chose Walker as her running mate. After losing the race, the GOP would select Gen. Walker to serve as RNC Chair. Democrats, however, have opted to elect a Senate Leader outside of the norm, electing Alex Fakhorui (D-MI) as the Senate Majority Leader. The now two-term Senator was born to immigrant parents of Lebanese background. He is the first Arab to lead one of the two major parties in the Senate. Fakhouri graduated from New York University with his juris doctor. He would become a paralegal with Brody and Sons for 4 years. Then became a private attorney with Brody and Sons for 5 years. After 9 years with the company, he left and became a public interest attorney for the Environmental Law and Policy Center for 11 years. He would also serve on the Michigan Advisory Council and Next Generation Advisory Council during this time. In 2007, Fakhouri became the Director of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. He would serve for two years before being elected to the Senate. Fakhouri is fairly young to serve in the leadership position, but he has the full support of the Democrat party. Fakhouri a member of the New Democrats faction, will lead the Democrats in the Senate. Diego Everhart (D-PA) was elected to serve as the Senate Majority Whip, becoming the first person of color to serve in this position. Everhart is also a child of immigrants. Everhart served his first term as a Senator from Pennsylvania. Everhart graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1993 and from Princeton University with his juris doctor in 1996. Everhart was a state political staffer for 8 years working under Senator Arlen Specter. He would then join LIUNA as a Labor Rights lawyer. He was there for 5 years. He would then be elected to the Senate. Senator Everhart is a member of the Progressive faction. The Democrats have all 3 factions covered in leadership. Everhart is one of the younger members in the Senate and the youngest in the Democratic leadership. Moderate Senator John Carlsen (D-IN) was elected to serve as the President Pro Tempore. Senator Carlsen has a distinguished career spanning over two decades in public service. Before his tenure in the Senate, Carlsen's political journey commenced with a six-year stint in the House of Representatives, where he garnered invaluable experience and honed his skills as a legislator. His commitment to serving the nation was evident from the outset, having graduated from Notre Dame in 1990 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science and History. Carlsen's dedication to the nation extended beyond the political realm, as he answered the call to serve in the Army after completing his education. Commissioned through the ROTC program during college, he demonstrated leadership and courage in various capacities. His deployments to South Korea and the Middle East, particularly following the tragic events of 9/11, showcased his unwavering commitment to defending freedom and upholding security. Transitioning from his military service, Carlsen pursued his aspirations for higher office. In 2004, he embarked on a new chapter by joining the active reserve list and setting his sights on the House of Representatives. His ambition and dedication propelled him forward as he successfully navigated three terms, culminating in a historic victory against the long-standing incumbent, Richard Lugar. Within the Senate, Carlsen has emerged as a prominent figure known for his moderate stance within the Democratic Party. His willingness to engage in bipartisan collaboration and seek pragmatic solutions to complex issues has earned him respect and admiration from colleagues across the political spectrum. As he continues to serve Indiana and the nation, Senator Carlsen remains steadfast in his commitment to fostering progress and unity for the betterment of all Americans. Serving as the DNC Chair for the 115th Congress is Washington Senator Heather James. Sen. James is a graduate of UCLA for her undergrad. She attended UC Berkeley Business School where she received her MBA. James grew up in the top 1% of economic status. She is one of the single wealthiest members serving in Congress currently. James spent most of the 1980s working in the Seattle tech industry. She is the co-founder of Nexxus Capital, a venture capital firm. In 1992, James ran for Washington's 1st Congressional seat, after serving in the State Senate for one term. Senator James was one of the youngest women ever elected to Congress. She would lose re-election in 1994 but go on to win in 1998. In 2000, Senator James decided to run for the Senate, after two terms in the House. James was very well known around her state. James would win the seat and has been serving there since. James has been Chair/RM of the Commerce subcommittee on the Internet for 3 Congresses and served as Chair/RM of the Energy and Natural Resources committee's Public Lands and Forest subcommittee before becoming Ranking Member in the most recent Congress. The dynamic interplay of leadership changes and continuity in the 115th Congress underscored the complexities of governing in a polarized political environment. While established leaders like Ryan and Pelosi maintained their positions of influence, new leaders in the Senate who are faced with the challenges of legislating and winning the next majority, are also facing challenges from within their respective parties with tensions between established norms and the intricate web of party factions with its ever-increasing importance and involvement in Congress. As the 115th Congress unfolded, it became clear that the path to legislative success would require not only effective leadership but also adept navigation of the shifting currents within American politics.

I made a mistake. Gamerboy signed in first for this seat.

POTUS FUNDRAISING, GENERAL ELECTION ROUND 2 PRESIDENTIAL GENERAL ELECTION FUNDING Xiomara de la Cruz raised $83,000,000.00 from top democrat donors, Michael Bloomberg, high dollar fundraisers hosted by Clinton, Obama, and Beyonce. Katherine McCord raised $79,000,000.00 from top republican donors, energy groups, and grassroots activists. DE LA CRUZ LEADS FUNDRAISING RACE AGAINST MCCORD AHEAD OF GENERAL ELECTION SHOWDOWN The 2016 Presidential Election is no just any political showdown; it is the showdown of the century as two formidable women, Xiomara de la Cruz and Katherine McCord vie to become the first female leader of the free world. As the race intensifies, the spotlight not only shines on the candidates themselves but also on the intricate dynamics of fundraising that fuel their campaigns. The fundraising strategies employed by both candidates reflect broader trends within their respective parties. Democrats have traditionally relied on a network of wealthy donors and celebrity endorsements to drive their fundraising efforts, leveraging connections within Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and Wall Street. On the other hand, McCord have often emphasized support from corporate interests, conservative donors, and grassroots activism. Both ladies are making waves in the political arena with their impressive fundraising efforts, racking in millions of dollars to push their campaigns' over the finish line. De la Cruz, however, is still winning the money game, pulling no punches. In the latest fundraising push, the de la Cruz/Murphy campaign secured millions from Democrat megadonors like Michael Bloomberg. Her campaign has also. received a significant boost in funding with the support of key figures such as Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and even music icon Beyonce, all joining forces to help propel her fundraising drive. McCord, however, has made waves in her own way, depending less on megadonors and more on grassroots. Don't get us wrong, McCord has used megadonors and energy groups, but the majority of her campaign's funding has come from grassroots activists. Not bad to use megadonors, as McCord would have trailed de la Cruz by tens of millions if she relied just on grassroots fundraising. The financial landscape of the 2016 election also highlights the evolving role of money in politics. While megadonors and large-scale contributions continue to play a significant role, the rise of digital platforms and social media has democratized fundraising to some extent, allowing candidates like McCord to tap into a wider pool of individual donors. As the campaign trail unfolds, the intricate dance of fundraising will remain a crucial aspect of the candidates' strategies. Both de la Cruz and McCord are acutely aware of the financial challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, recognizing that a well-funded campaign can translate into critical advantages in terms of messaging, voter outreach, and overall competitiveness. Ultimately, the 2024 election represents not just a battle of ideologies and policies but also a test of fundraising prowess and strategic acumen. The outcome of this historic race will not only determine the next occupant of the White House but also shape the future trajectory of American politics for years to come.

POTUS FUNDRAISING, GENERAL ELECTION 1 PRESIDENTIAL GENERAL ELECTION FUNDING Xiomara de la Cruz raised $82,000,000.00 from The Bu Foundation, Unions, Micheal Bloomberg, and grassroots liberal voters and organizations. Katherine McCord raised $76,000,000.00 from The Ross Foundation, Wall Street, Defense contractors, and grassroots conservative voters and organizations. DE LA CRUZ LEADS FUNDRAISING RACE AGAINST MCCORD AHEAD OF GENERAL ELECTION SHOWDOWN In a compelling twist ahead of the general election, Democratic Presidential Nominee Xiomara de la Cruz has managed to outpace her Republican counterpart, Katherine McCord, in a fundraising showdown that hints at a fiercely contested race. Recent financial disclosures reveal de la Cruz's campaign chest has swollen to a remarkable $82 million, edging out McCord's formidable $76 million tally. This financial supremacy of de la Cruz, with McCord trailing closely behind, accentuates the fierce rivalry and elevated stakes of this landmark electoral battle. The financial prowess of de la Cruz has been bolstered significantly by contributions from unions, vigorous grassroots campaigns, Michael Bloomberg, and a cadre of other substantial benefactors. Her strategy, focusing on securing hefty donations from a wide and varied supporter base, has catapulted her to a financial vantage point over her rival, who has banked on moderate-sized grassroots contributions. Conversely, Katherine McCord, despite lagging slightly in the fundraising race, has showcased her formidable financial acumen. Her knack for transforming modest grassroots donations into significant campaign funds evidences robust support within the Republican ranks and among conservative patrons. Notably, McCord's campaign has gained momentum from her strategic choice of running mate. Together, they have seamlessly attracted substantial financial backing from Wall Street and the defense sector, capitalizing on their notable records in foreign and military affairs without necessitating direct solicitation. As the showdown between de la Cruz and McCord looms, their amassed war chests are set to play a crucial role in framing the campaign discourse and swaying the electoral verdict. With the campaigns poised for an exhaustive contest, de la Cruz's current monetary lead might just be the leverage she needs to steer the narrative in her favor in the ensuing months. This fiscal duel underscores not just the candidates' strategic divergences but also the overarching significance of campaign financing in steering the dynamics of American presidential politics.
