ReplyDeleteThe category of the interest group I chose was the entertainment industry. Doug Jones a Democrat from Alabama donated a total amount of $366,230 which makes him the top candidate who donated the most money. Doug Jones is on four committees which include health care, homeland security, banking, and programs that affect senior citizens. I believe that homeland security might affect the Entertainment Industry.
ReplyDeleteExtra Credit: Homeland Security act recently listed a bill that wants to secure the border and reform the legal immigration laws many democrats would not agree with this because according to Edwards and Wattenberg “Government in America” textbook it states that democrats wants to help “bring undocumented immigrants out of the shadows” which contradicts democratic values.

The top 3 contributors for the Defense Aerospace industry are Northrop Grumman ($1,798,564), Lockheed Martin ($1,745,047), and Boeing Co.($1,574,561).
ReplyDelete1) Republican Kay Granger- Texas District 12, was the top recipient for Defense Aerospace.
2) She received a total of $749,149.
3) Kay Granger is Chairwoman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. The Defense Subcommittee oversees more than 50 percent of discretionary funding in the federal budget. This funds National Defense and ensures that our military has the resources needed to keep America safe.
4) Extra Credit-
Bill to Fund the Department of Defense Re-Introduced
https://appropriations.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=395089
The bill contains $659.2 billion in full-year, Fiscal Year 2018 funding for the Department of Defense (DOD). Kay Granger wants to strengthen our military defense as she states, “Congress’s number one responsibility is to provide for the defense of this nation. It is this bill that fulfills that most fundamental constitutional duty. This important legislation reflects what our military leaders have recommended in countless meetings and briefings and demonstrates our commitment to restoring military readiness, force modernization efforts, and maintaining technological superiority on the battlefield. After years of cuts, it’s time to rebuild our military.” This bill affects defense aerospace top contributors because companies such as Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing Co. are the top manufacturers of military weapons and transportation.

The member of Congress I chose was Senator Claire McCaskill, a democratic Congresswoman from Missouri. The “Women’s Issues” interest group has donated $4,086,463 to Senator Claire McCaskill during the 2017-2018 election cycle. She is on the Committee of Armed Services, Committee of Finances, and Committee of Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. A bill (from the Committee Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs) that might affect the industry is the “Improve Data on Sexual Violence Act”. The bill was created to direct the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to establish a working group to collect data on sexual violence, which would benefit the women’s issues interest group who are concerned for the rights of women.

Ryan was previously the Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee which has jurisdiction relating to Medicare, a social insurance provided to retired people. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 likely contributed to Ryan being a top recipient as the bill helped to reduce Medicare costs.

ReplyDeleteThe member of Congress I chose was Paul Ryan, a conservative republican from Wisconsin. The “Retail Sales” interest group from 2016-2017 cycle. He received $103,455 in donations from this interest group. He is part of the US chamber of commerce and he sponsors bills corresponding to economy. This influences his desicions as a majority of his bills dealing with the economic sector tend to promote the creation of new jobs and ensure consumers have enough money saved up to contribute to the economic cycle. His focus of shrinking the debt also explains why he is sponsored by this group because alleviating the pressure of debt for the middle class will tremendously help the consumerism in America and lead to more sales in turn.

As the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and former chairman of the Health, Education, Labor Pensions Committee, he is committed to fix the nation's broken entitlement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. He is trying to lower the health care costs while ensuring quality care for the American people.

The top recipient for the Food & Beverage Category is Paul Ryan, a conservative American politician. Individuals and political action committees associated with this industry contributed nearly $16.9 million during the 2014 campaign cycle, with 68 percent going to Republicans. Paul Ryan sides with the Republican Party, which explains why the industry has been a steady supporter of the GOP for the last two decades, regularly giving 70 percent or more of its contributions to Republicans. A bill that the Food & Beverage impacted was one that included Vigo County in an Indiana Senate committee in late January of 2018. The bill stated that it would impose a food and beverage tax of up to 1 percent to provide financing for a proposed convention center in Terre Haute.

The Securities and Investment interest group paid Paul Ryan $1,091,149 for the 2017-2018 years.

ReplyDeleteOn March 1st, the democratic committee tried to force a hearing on two bills aimed at gun violence, but ended in defeat Thursday, with Republicans who control a House committee tabling the bills despite a heavy turnout from supporters. This could affect the human rights bill because the 2nd amendment states the right to bear arms, so many will try to fight against bills targeting stricter gun control.

Wicker is a part of the Transportation Committee that enhances funding to transportation services like railroads, and this makes sense that Wicker would then gain so much support from them. A bill that could severely affect this industry was the Railroad Reform, Enhancement, and Efficiency Act in 2015. This act stated that it would enhance railroad safety measures for passengers, reauthorize Amtrack services to the public, and better the infastructure of railroads as a whole.

ReplyDeleteThe interest group I chose is the National Beer Wholesalers Association. This group focuses on the issues relating to the sale and consumption of alcohol, such as their opposed efforts to lower national blood alcohol level standards. The congressman that they supported the most is John Boehner, who is a Republican from Ohio. They gave him $15,000. A committee that could affect this organization is Avamere Health Services. A bill that they have been looking at is the Graham-Cassidy bill.
