UCLA Office  of  Government  &  Community  Relations  

OVERVIEW OF 2016 FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL ELECTIONS Dear Colleagues: The November 8th General Election campaign is finally over! The outcomes will impact UCLA and public higher education nationally and in California. This document, prepared by Government & Community Relations staff, summarizes the preliminary results from key races in Los Angeles County at the federal, state and local levels of government. The election results are current as of November 8th. The final results have not been certified at this time, with absentee and provisional ballots still being counted in some races. Further updates will be provided if there are significant changes. The election of Donald Trump as President will signal a shift in higher education policy from the Obama Administration. During the campaign, while he didn’t provide many policy details, the President-elect was critical of college costs, endowment utilization, rising tuition and international students. Some of the important concerns for UCLA will be the new administration’s position on the Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA). The HEA contains federal financial aid components, specifically Pell Grants that are important to UCLA. Approximately 38% of UCLA undergraduates are Pell Grant recipients. A second issue is the new Administration’s positions on Veterans Affairs. UCLA has worked diligently over the past few years to build a strong working relationship with the Veterans Administration. We have to be hopeful that we can continue the progress that has been made. Chancellor Gene Block has announced a number of new programmatic initiatives that UCLA wants to implement at the West Los Angeles VA campus. Also, the level of federal research funding support is always an ongoing concern for the campus. The Republican Congress has not supported the funding levels for research that the Obama Administration has requested. This is an issue that UCLA will join with the higher education community in addressing by working to increase research funding. The House of Representatives and Senate remain controlled by Republicans. In the House, the party representation will be: 238 Republicans 193 Democrats 4 Races pending In the Senate, the Party representation will be: 51 Republicans 45 Democrats 2 Independents (Caucus with Democrats) 2 Races pending

Proposition 55: Tax Extension to Fund Education, Healthcare Subject: Taxes Breakdown: the measure extends the 2012 income tax increase for people earning more than $250,000 and couples earning more than $500,000 in order to give more money to public k-12 schools, California community colleges and the Medi-Cal health care program in some years.

10    

Proposition 60: Condoms in Adult Films Subject: Entertainment Breakdown: the measure requires actors in pornographic movies to wear condoms during filming.

Studies by the University of California, Berkeley, the California Institute and Habitat for Humanity/San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valley estimate that these requirements could add as much as 23-30 percent to the cost of constructing new housing, with the end result being higher rental costs, and higher prices for first-time homebuyers and anyone considering a home purchase in Los Angeles
