A week has passed since the election, and five House races still remain
uncalled. You can view full election results and 113th Congress member list here. As the votes continue to be
counted in these races, Congress returned to work today in what could be the
busiest lame duck session in recent memory.
The
most pressing issue confronting the 112th Congress continues to be
the impeding fiscal cliff, a collection of automatic budget cuts and tax
increases that will take effect in January and that could have a major negative
impact on the economy. In a recent article, Politico outlined five scenarios in which this crisis can be
resolved. In addition to the fiscal cliff, Congress still has to deal with
payroll tax cuts, unemployment benefits, disaster assistance, and the farm bill.
Although
this is a busy lame duck session, it is essential that your issues remain
relevant to legislators and that you begin to prepare your organization’s advocacy
strategy for the 113th Congress. Advocacy Associates partners Jason
Jordan and Stephanie Vance, The Advocacy Guru, will be featured in the second
free webinar in the series “Winning, No Matter Who Wins” on November 15 at
3:00pm. The webinar will provide post-election analysis that will help you
understand the new dynamics of the 113th Congress and what you can
do today to be better prepared to get results in the next Congress.
