How do we find out as soon as possible how to reach out to incoming members of Congress? We have a new senator coming in and we want to be some of the first constituents to reach out to him! --Cindy Levin, St Louis

Any other questions?

Senator Young is and Indiana Republican and has taken a leadership position on TB issues. He recognizes the importance of national security with global diseases. It has been incredible to work with his office on this. I find it interesting how you said some Democrats focus more on U.S. poverty issues, and we found this true with Senator Donnelly (Democrat leaving in January). Do you see with other Republicans that international affairs align with national security?
Cecilia van Wijk
01:54:56
Thank you!
Anne
01:55:18
with Rep. reichert leaving, Do you have a suggestioin for a strong R house leader for global health or global education?
Lisa Marchal
01:55:55
Great question, Anne - we'll note it for our own John Fawcett.

China is increasing its foreign aid dramatically. Could that be used as an argument to increase U.S. foreign aid?
Marc Tolo

How about sending thank you's to outgoing office holders who have cooperated on our issues in the past?
Ken Patterson
02:05:58
good idea Mark. they may want to engage with us as well
Lisa Marchal
02:06:03
That thank you would also make a great LTE, to get the importance of our issues in the paper yet again.

John Fawcett

Marc - great idea
John Fawcett
02:08:41
We will do some thank you letters from our office, and there will be some events in DC between now and the end of the year to say thanks. We were also able to acknowledge some folks at the IC (like Ros-Lehtinen)

If our states still have contested elections, does that mean our broadcast media story will last longer because our local media is still focused on the voter suppression in elections, etc?
John Fawcett
02:16:44
Good question, Misty... I would think given the high profile race in GA, the media won't shift to a post-election story until it's resolved
mistynovitch
02:19:22
Great thanks
Cecilia van Wijk
02:23:25
Thanks, Mea! We appreciate all you do!

Do the newly elected members of Congress typically have townhalls before January? I'm thinking maybe not with the holidays...
