The International online survey research firm YouGov just released a major US national poll for CBS News reporting upon their respondents’ attitudes and views about President Joe Biden and his Administration’s effectiveness, and the segmented data revealed a surprising information point.

A total of 27 states have completed their redistricting process and, at this point, it appears that the new district boundaries yield 89 competitive US House races, 36 of those in a respective party or jungle primary.

On January 13, the Supreme Court reinstated the nationwide stay on implementation and enforcement of the OSHA COVID-19 vaccination-or-testing emergency temporary standard (ETS).

On January 7, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on whether or not the Sixth Circuit was correct when it decided on December 17, 2021, to remove the nationwide stay (freeze) of the OSHA COVID-19 vaccination-or-testing emergency temporary standard (ETS).

A December 17, 2021, decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit effectively maintains a Georgia federal district court’s nationwide stay (or freeze) of the federal contractor vaccine mandate until—potentially—as late as April 2022.

Now that the new redistricting maps have been finalized in as many as 27 states, analysts can produce more detailed data about how the new seats will perform politically.

Four-term Michigan US Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Southfield) became the latest Democratic incumbent to announce her retirement.

One of the biggest complaints most commonly aired about redistricting is that it favors incumbents, but such is not the case with the recently completed Wolverine State congressional map.

Last week proved a topsy-turvy week in North Carolina politics, and situations are being created that won’t likely be resolved for some time.

For the most part, early polling has given Alabama US Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) a big lead in his open Senate Republican primary race, but a series of later surveys reveal a major change on the ballot test.

Redistricting has now been completed in 20 multi-congressional district states, so this is a good time to examine the races viewed as competitive in the places with new district boundaries.

All 34 lawsuits—including AGC’s, supported by the Construction Advocacy Fund—challenging OSHA’s Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) on COVID-19 are now consolidated in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

On November 29, AGC, along with 18 other organizations, sent a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen asking her department to clarify that American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds can be used by state and local governments to mitigate the effects of material and supply chain delays and shortages.

In a redistricting year, tracking the open seats can be a bit confusing.

Saying he “…need[s] a little more time for myself, for my health and well-being, for my wife, my family, and the things I love in Oregon," veteran Beaver State Rep. Peter DeFazio* (D-Springfield), chairman of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, Thursday announced that he will retire after completing his 18th term next year. 

At this point in the national redistricting process, six sets of incumbents have been paired together mostly in nomination battles, while an additional five incumbent combinations have been averted.
