LEGISLATIVE & REGULATORY PRIORITIES REPORT
Updated September 2017
APARTMENT INDUSTRY 2017 POLICY PRIORITIES
The apartment sector is a competitive and robust industry that helps today’s 38 million renters live in an apartment home that’s right for them. It’s also an important economic driver, contributing $1.3 trillion to the U.S. economy annually. We stand ready to meet the growing demand for rental housing, but we need public policies that don’t impede our ability to do so. Fair Housing and Disparate Impact: clarify HUD’s enforcement practices in light of regulatory and legal efforts, and improve compliance resources for rental housing providers Tax Reform: protect the current-law tax treatment of flow-through entities, depreciation, like-kind exchanges, business interest, carried interest and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Housing Finance Reform: ensure housing finance reform proposals include a federal guarantee and recognize the unique characteristics of the multifamily industry, and continue engagement with regulators as they pursue transformational policies outside the legislative process Workforce Housing: help policymakers develop effective solutions that will preserve programs that work, stem the loss of additional housing stock and promote the development of new units Low-Income Housing Tax Credit: increase program resources and allow “income averaging” to create more mixed-income housing Section 8 Rental Assistance: modernize and streamline the program to attract private sector participation as well as seek reliable funding and reinforce the voluntary nature of the program Military Housing Allowance: oppose reductions to the military’s Basic Allowance for Housing or other changes to military housing benefits Immigration Reform: promote immigration reform that improves temporary worker visa programs and prevents apartment firms from being required to enforce immigration laws Criminal Background Checks: protect the ability of apartment firms to consider criminal history in employment and residential screening Consumer Reporting: Ensure that reforms of the consumer reporting process and resident screening system do not hamper necessary business operations of multifamily operators. Clean Water Act: seek regulatory clarity on permitting requirements under a newly expanded scope of the Act
Data Security: seek reasonable data security and breach notification requirements that do not impose overly burdensome compliance obligations on apartment owners and operators. U.S. Postal Service Reform: ensure that postal reform legislation does not adversely affect mail delivery to apartment residents or impose costly requirements on apartment properties Music Licensing: as policymakers evaluate copyright laws, look for potential opportunities to clarify music licensing policies for apartment communities Telecommunications: protect apartment owner and resident interests as policymakers consider in-building and outdoor coverage, capacity, deployment and infrastructure issues Patent Reform: enact legislation to protect apartment companies from abusive patent infringement claims without merit or evidence to support them Flood Insurance: seek long-term reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that expires in September 2017, enact reforms of the program that would afford better NFIP coverage options to operators of rental housing, and capitalize on efforts to bolster private market solutions for flood coverage. Lead-Based Paint: advocate for health-protective standards that address the issue of lead hazards where they are found to exist Energy Policy: seek practical, cost effective solutions for improving the energy performance of building systems and appliances, support research on building technologies, and advocate for expanded federal tax to improve building energy efficiency Building Codes, Construction and Development: seek cost-effective building codes, green building goals and land use policies that support apartment development Regulatory Reform: reform of outdated, inefficient and burdensome regulations that lead to compliance uncertainty and harm economic growth.
2017 NMHC and NAA Policy Priorities
For more than 20 years, the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) and the National Apartment Association (NAA) have partnered on behalf of America's apartment industry. Drawing on the knowledge and policy expertise of staff in Washington, D.C., as well as the advocacy power of nearly 170 NAA state and local affiliated associations, NAA and NMHC provide a single voice for developers, owners and operators of multifamily rental housing. One-third of all Americans rent their housing, and 38 million of them live in an apartment home.

Tax Policy TAX REFORM Why It Matters: Tax reform has the potential to significantly impact all facets of the multifamily industry because the owners, operators and developers of multifamily housing pay taxes when they build, operate, sell or transfer communities to their heirs. What We Are Doing: Engaging with policymakers to protect the multifamily industry’s tax reform priorities in any possible tax reform legislation. These include: protecting flow-through entities; maintaining the current-law tax treatment of carried interest; defending like-kind exchanges; retaining the deduction for business interest; ensuring depreciation rules avoid harming real estate; and preserving the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. To support our advocacy, we have worked with our industry partners to commission key studies on the House Republican tax reform blueprint and the vital role that like-kind exchanges and economically viable depreciation schedules play in developing and maintaining commercial real estate. LOW-INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT (LIHTC) Why It Matters: LIHTC is the only federal program that helps subsidize the production of privately operated affordable housing. It has financed nearly 3 million units since its inception in 1986. While it generally operates effectively, additional resources could spur added construction of units. What We Are Doing: Urging lawmakers to resist calls to eliminate the LIHTC in any effort to reform the nation’s tax code. We are also seeking program improvements. These include expanding program resources by 50 percent and allowing “income averaging” to make the program more flexible and allow for more mixed-income housing. MIDDLE-INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT (MIHTC) Why It Matters: MIHTC was introduced in September 2016 by Senate Finance Committee ranking member Ron Wyden (D-OR) to spur the production of multifamily rental homes for America’s working families and would complement the LIHTC. The apartment industry strongly supports the bill based on our concerns that there is a lack of affordable housing available to millions of Americans that comprise the nation’s workforce. What We Are Doing: Continuing to work closely with Senator Wyden, his staff and other key lawmakers in pushing this critical legislation forward because it would make building needed units financially viable. Specifically, under the “Middle-Income Housing Tax Credit Act of 2016,” states would receive allocations of tax credits that would be distributed competitively to finance 50 percent of the cost of qualifying units. In order to qualify, a development would have to ensure that 60 percent of units were affordable to families earning no more than 100 percent of area median income. Allocated credits would be paid out over 15 years, the same period over which a development would have to commit to maintaining units at restricted rental rates. Importantly, we responded to the introduction of the MIHTC legislation by following up with a letter of support to Senator Wyden that urged him to coordinate the legislation with the Community Reinvestment
3UpdatedSeptember2017
Act (CRA) so that investments using the proposed tax credit would qualify for CRA credit – a vital change that would enable the new credit to reach its full potential in all housing markets. FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN REAL PROPERTY TAX ACT (FIRPTA) Why It Matters: FIRPTA imposes income tax on foreign persons disposing of U.S. real property interests that is not charged on a foreign person disposing of other U.S. assets such as stocks and bonds. As a result, it prevents commercial real estate from securing a key source of private-sector capital for developing, upgrading and refinancing properties. As part of tax legislation enacted in late 2015, Congress reduced FIRPTA’s negative impact on U.S. real estate investment by increasing from 5 to 10 percent the ownership stake that a foreign investor may take in a U.S. publicly traded REIT without triggering FIRPTA. Congress also removed a tax penalty FIRPTA imposed on foreign pension funds investing in U.S. real estate. While these provisions represent real progress, repealing FIRPTA or enacting additional reforms could unlock billions in foreign capital that could help to refinance real estate loans and drive new investment. What We Are Doing: Calling on Congress to either repeal FIRPTA or enact additional reforms to FIRPTA to promote foreign investment in the U.S. multifamily industry and meet the growing demand for rental housing.
Construction & Development CLEAN WATER ACT Why It Matters: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) finalized a rule that claimed to clarify the scope of the waters regulated under the federal Clean Water Act. The controversial rule was found to significantly increase the costs and time associated with permitting requirements, provide greater opportunities for citizen lawsuits and essentially federalize local land use planning. The rule would also subject municipal separate storm sewers to an additional level of regulation as "Waters of the US." The Trump Administration has ordered that the rule be repealed and replaced. What We Are Doing: Pursuing an aggressive advocacy strategy before Congress and the Administration on the appropriate scope of federal jurisdiction over water. Existing authority under the 1986regulationand2008guidancetodefine"watersoftheUnitedStates"coveredbytheCleanWaterAct has led to a spate of lawsuits and was the impetus for the last Administration to issue the flawed WOTUS rule. SUSTAINABILITY Why It Matters: Apartment properties face potentially costly challenges as federal, state and local governments increase various green building requirements and building performance mandates. These efforts must address the specific needs of multifamily occupancies, including the continued affordability and availability of new, and the preservation of existing, apartment homes. What We Are Doing: Developing robust tools to help building owners and managers improve the environmental performance of the nation’s housing stock. We support strong and cost effective green standards and represent the interests of the industry in the area of green building and operations certification. We are working in coordination with the EPA and Department of Energy to obtain wider access to aggregated whole building data for voluntary benchmarking purposes and look to expand opportunities to share case studies and other resources with our members.
4UpdatedSeptember2017
LAND USE Why It Matters: Changing demographics, employment patterns and lifestyle preferences are challenging the sprawling, low-density development patterns of the past 50 years. Understanding that existing growth models are unsustainable, new efforts to promote infill, mixed-use and transit-oriented development that features apartment communities are being considered. What We Are Doing: Promoting land use policies that recognize the benefits of apartments, including compact development and efficiency.
Finance & Capital Markets HOUSING FINANCE REFORM Why It Matters: Getting multifamily right in housing finance reform is the single most important factor to ensuring that the apartment industry can meet the nation’s growing rental housing demand. What We Are Doing: Working closely with lawmakers to ensure that housing reform legislation recognizes the unique characteristics of the multifamily industry and retains a federal backstop to ensure reliable and affordable access to capital in all markets at all times. Because of our efforts, Members of Congress have come to understand that any credible housing finance reform effort must have dedicated consideration for the multifamily industry. BANK CAPITAL STANDARDS: DODD-FRANK AND BASEL III Why It Matters: Federal regulators have produced a number of regulations and standards during the previous Administration that could potentially constrain capital flows to the sector. Among those are Dodd-Frank risk-retention rules and Basel III capital standards, both of which impact how financial institutions must treat the multifamily debt they hold and originate. What We Are Doing: Working to educate regulators, Congress and the new Administration on existing and proposed regulations that could constrain and increase the cost for multifamily financing. Where appropriate, we are seeking changes or roll-backs. HIGH VOLATILITY COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS Why It Matters: Basel III capital standards for acquisition, development and construction loans went into effect on January 1, 2015, increasing the amount of capital banks have to hold by 50 percent. The regulation was unclear in many areas. In April 2015, the regulators issued guidelines in an FAQ in an effort to clarify implementation of the rule. This rule applies to every bank, no matter the size. Consequently, it has had an impact on the availability of construction loans during 2016. What We Are Doing: Working with a number of industry groups to seek better clarity on interpretation of the rule and provide rational relief to several of the provisions within the rule that constrain the capital contribution from borrowers. We are seeking changes with Congress and the regulators who issued the rule. As a result of our efforts, legislation was introduced in 2017 that would achieve our goals.
5UpdatedSeptember2017
WORKFORCE HOUSING Why It Matters: America is facing significant rental affordability challenges. Rental demand is growing, supply is limited and resident incomes have been stagnant while housing costs have risen. Roughly 54 percent of apartment households spend more than 30 percent of their incomes on housing and 30 percent spend more than 50 percent, according to the most recent data from the American Housing Survey. State and federal collaborations, and partnerships between the public and private sectors, are critical to addressing this issue. What We Are Doing: Contributing to the discussion and aiming to help policymakers develop effective solutions that will preserve programs that work, stem the loss of additional housing stock and promote the development of new units. We took our message to Capitol Hill, testifying before the House Financial Services Committee, Subcommittee on Housing at a hearing entitled, The Future of Housing in America: Government Regulations and the High Cost of Housing. We outlined the key reasons why America faces a growing affordability problem – stagnant wages, a supply-demand imbalance and numerous hurdles and regulations in developing new apartments – along with potential solutions. HUD MULTIFAMILY PROGRAMS Why It Matters: The Federal Housing Administration’s (FHA) multifamily programs traditionally account for approximately 10 percent of the total outstanding multifamily mortgage debt and are a material and important source of capital for underserved segments of the rental market. Importantly, because of appropriate risk-based premiums and strong underwriting, the multifamily programs are able to operate as self-funded, fully covered lines of business at HUD. In past years, however, they have been hampered by artificial constraints on the volumes of mortgages they can insure. In addition, HUD has undertaken a multi-year effort to streamline and consolidate its multifamily field offices. These field offices provide mortgage insurance to HUD-approved lenders nationwide, facilitate multifamily housing projects and administer rental assistance programs. What We Are Doing: Educating policymakers about the different performance histories of FHA’s multifamily and single-family programs to retain FHA as a reliable source of capital for the apartment sector. Continuing in-depth discussions with the offices of the HUD Secretary and the FHA Commissioner to limit the potential adverse impact of the reorganization on multifamily borrowers. NMHC/NAA have also worked with HUD and Congress to lift the multifamily lending authority for FHA to levels more reflective of market demand. FOREIGN CAPITAL INVESTMENT (EB-5) Why It Matters: Foreign investment is an important and growing source of capital for the multifamily industry. The strong current and historic performance of multifamily real estate attracts interest from a variety of international capital sources, but opportunities exist for policymakers to further enable investment from abroad. One mechanism through which the apartment industry attracts foreign capital is the EB-5 Investor Visa Program. The program provides visas to foreign investors in exchange for investments in American real estate projects, which eventually create jobs. Multifamily projects have attracted significant equity through the EB-5 Program in recent years, including an estimated $68 million last year from China alone. What We Are Doing: Working to remove barriers and further encourage foreign capital participation through a long-term reauthorization of the EB-5 Investor Visa Program, retaining essential elements of the program and promoting multifamily investment.
6UpdatedSeptember2017
Fair Housing FAIR HOUSING AND DISPARATE IMPACT Why It Matters: Recent increases in regulatory and legal action related to disparate impact theory creates new uncertainty about the lawfulness of otherwise legitimate apartment operation and development practices like resident screening and use of tax credits. Absent limitations, housing providers can face increased allegations of Fair Housing violations. What We Are Doing: Seeking certainty and/or clarification of HUD enforcement practices in light of regulatory efforts, including HUD’s 2013 disparate impact rule, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project and HUD guidance on criminal history screening, limited English Proficiency and more. While the High Court upheld the validity of disparate impact liability under the Fair Housing Act in its final ruling in June 2015, the ruling offers some limitations on the theory that may prove helpful to businesses facing these types of actions. However, HUD and advocacy groups continue to test the bounds of disparate impact theory. We have produced a series of white papers and webinars to help apartment firms understand changes in fair housing law and we continue to explore both legislative and legal remedies to help apartment firms avoid disparate impact claims. ACCESSIBILITY: ADA AND FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY Why it Matters: Housing providers have responsibilities under both the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Fair Housing Act (FHA) to ensure that their communities are accessible to people with disabilities, including the inclusion of specific building design features. However, the complex and sometimes conflicting nature of guidance, building codes and statutory language have led to varying interpretations of compliance with the Acts. Litigation related to allegations of non-compliance poses significant costs, operational barriers and other challenges for apartment firms. What We Are Doing: Supporting legislation to stem the growing trend of ADA compliance complaints dubbed “drive by” lawsuits. These complaints often result from tester visits to a business for the express purpose of finding violations and filing suit. Plaintiffs then typically demand settlement money in lieu of filing a lawsuit. We are supporting legislation introduced in Congress that provides a business owner with the opportunity to cure an alleged ADA deficiency prior to the initiation of a lawsuit, which would disincentivize complaints motivated purely for financial gain.
Energy ENERGY POLICY Why It Matters: Energy efficient multifamily buildings reduce utility consumption costs for apartment owners and residents and further the goal of national energy independence. Although the industry has embraced energy efficient design and operations, it is important that federally-sponsored energy performance standards be cost-effective. Expensive code requirements that have a pay-back outside of traditional financing terms will exacerbate the shortage of affordable housing. Federal tax incentives are insufficient to improve the efficiency of the nation’s existing housing stock and should be expanded. New Federal Housing Administration financing programs will assist owners and developers in improving building
7UpdatedSeptember2017
energy performance. The apartment industry welcomes the newly available ENERGY STAR rating for multifamily, however, the lack of access to whole building energy consumption data in many regions of the country limits the ability of properties to participate in the program. What We Are Doing: Advocating for policies that include cost-effectiveness as a consideration in building code adoption, promoting building energy research and working to help property owners access their energy consumption data. We are also lobbying for energy efficiency tax measures that encourage energy efficient rehabilitation of existing properties. Finally, we continue to work with HUD, EPA and the Department of Energy to expand opportunities that will assist property owners in improving building energy performance and remain focused on growing the ENERGY STAR rating for multifamily.
Business & Property Operations FLOOD INSURANCE AND MITIGATION Why It Matters: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) was last reauthorized by Congress in 2012 and is set to expire in September, 2017. Existing law requires apartment properties with federally regulated and insured mortgages in high-risk flood areas to purchase flood insurance. In many cases the NFIP is the only coverage option available across the country. In the absence of a robust private flood insurance market, the multifamily industry has come to rely on the NFIP as a critical risk management tool and to ensure financing. Yet too often, the current constructs of the program and its limitations can serve as a challenge. What We Are Doing: Working with Congress and industry allies to see the program reauthorized and reformed in such a way that ensures flood coverage continues to be available at all times, in all market conditions, for every at-risk rental property. Reform of the NFIP is necessary both to ensure the fiscal solvency of the program and so that it is structured in such a way that it is able to offer sufficient and needed lines of coverage to property owners. We have called upon Congress to enable FEMA to offer additional, policy options such as Business Interruption coverage, Replacement Cost Value claim payments, and allow umbrella policies for all structures on a property. Allowing multifamily owners the flexibility to secure these additional lines of coverage, at full actuarial rate, would bring new premium revenue into the program and better mitigate the financial risk held by multifamily owners/operators. These, and other reforms, would reduce risk exposure and financial liabilities for multifamily properties in the wake of a disaster. Further, the industry has long called for greater private sector participation in the flood insurance market and we have strongly urged Congress to adopt policies that can help foster its development. We also continue to push Congress to reform and properly fund flood mapping efforts and prioritize pre-disaster mitigation efforts. LABOR DEPARTMENT OVERTIME RULE Why It Matters: In May 2016, the Department of Labor (DOL) issued its final rule to increase the salary threshold for white collar workers who are entitled to overtime pay protections under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Multifamily and other industry workers would be impacted because overtime pay would be determined based only on falling below the threshold. Specifically, under the final rule, the salary threshold for executive, administrative and professional employees’ overtime pay would be raised from $455 a week ($23,660 a year) to $913 a week ($47,476 a year). While the rule was slated to go into effect on December 1, 2016, a federal judge has issued an injunction blocking enforcement.
8UpdatedSeptember2017
Meanwhile, DOL has indicated its willingness to reconsider the rule. During his confirmation hearing, Secretary of Labor R. Alexander Acosta indicated a threshold of around $33,000 might be appropriate. Following his hearing, DOL issued a request for information soliciting industry views. In response, NMHC/NAA recommended that DOL index the current $23,660 overtime threshold for inflation. Further litigation, regulation and/or legislative activity will determine the rule’s fate. Among other issues, the multifamily industry is concerned the rule will harm the ability of employers to implement, and employees to take advantage of, flexible scheduling options. In addition, it could limit career advancement opportunities for employees. Those nearing 40 hours of work in a week may not be able to participate in training or other opportunities because the employer is unable to provide overtime compensation for the hours spent. What We Are Doing: Urging Congress and the new Administration to repeal or provide relief from the proposed rule. NLRB JOINT EMPLOYER RULING Why It Matters: Joint employers occur when the supervision of an employee’s activity is shared between two or more businesses. In its August 2015 Browning-Ferris Industries ruling, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled that it could impose joint employer liability when an entity has “indirect” control and “unexercised potential” of control over another entity’s employees. However, for 30 years before this ruling, entities were designated joint employers when both had “direct and immediate” control over “essential terms and conditions of employment.” This could have a significant impact on multifamily firms who may become liable for the actions of subcontractors, suppliers, vendors and temporary staff. Joint employers are also required to negotiate with any union representing the jointly employed workers. What We Are Doing: Urging congress and the new Administration to mandate that the NLRB revert to the joint employer standard that was in effect prior to the Browning-Ferries Industries ruling. The House of Representatives is currently considering appropriations legislation that would deny funds to enforce the rule. CRIMINAL BACKGROUND SCREENING Why It Matters: The multifamily industry depends on professional staff who routinely enter apartment homes, handle confidential information and carry out financial transactions. Multifamily owners and operators need the ability to check criminal backgrounds to help protect the safety and security of residents and staff and to reduce the risk of violence, theft and fraud. The use of criminal background checks has come under increased scrutiny by some members of Congress and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). However, EEOC’s strengthened enforcement policy has been challenged by other members of Congress and judges. What We Are Doing: Working as part of a coalition to educate decision makers about the importance of criminal background checks in creating safe housing for the nation’s 38 million renters. CONSUMER REPORTING Why It Matters: Apartment owners and operators rely on professionally furnished consumer reports in their daily operations to make informed decisions about the creditworthiness of prospective residents at their communities. These reports often include financial, credit, and housing history/records and as a result fall under strict compliance requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
9UpdatedSeptember2017
What We Are Doing: Educating policy makers of the importance of accurate consumer reports and their impact on multifamily operations. Further, we are urging that any reforms of the consumer reporting process and resident screening system do not hamper necessary business operations of multifamily operators. IMMIGRATION REFORM Why It Matters: One in five renter households is headed by an immigrant, and immigrants comprise 22 percent of the construction workforce, making reform a critical issue for the multifamily industry. Pressure is mounting for Congress to enact comprehensive reform for a number of reasons, many of which impact the multifamily industry. Recent data and industry surveys suggest labor shortages in a number of trades across numerous markets are driving up construction costs, and the cost of housing as a result. Also, in the absence of congressional action, state and local governments have approved numerous immigration related regulatory measures, creating a burdensome patchwork of compliance obligations for apartment companies. Rental apartment firms are particularly concerned about laws that would hold them responsible for the immigration status of apartment residents and impose various additional employment-related mandates beyond federal requirements. Lastly, attracting foreign investment to multifamily real estate is a critical part of ensuring adequate capital is available to develop and maintain American rental housing needed now and in the future, which programs like the EB-5 Investor Program are designed to address. What We Are Doing: Working closely with policymakers to improve temporary worker visa programs, including the H2-B Visa Program. We are also empowering employers, creating legal safe harbors through the E-Verify Employee Verification Program, and promoting new sources of investment capital through the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. U.S. POSTAL SERVICE REFORM Why It Matters: U.S. Postal Service (USPS) policies impact the security and convenience of mail and package delivery to multifamily communities, as well as safety and efficiency for residents and employees. Congress is expected to consider significant postal reform measures that would affect mail and package delivery that could impact both existing and future apartment communities. Some proposed cost-cutting measures would mandate centralized delivery locations for both new and existing addresses. This would dramatically reduce the number of USPS delivery points including “to the door” delivery. What We Are Doing: Educating congressional decision-makers and regulators about the practical implications of legislative or regulatory changes to USPS mail delivery policy for apartment communities and our residents.
Telecom & Technology DATA SECURITY AND BREACH NOTIFICATION Why It Matters: Apartment companies and other consumer facing entities are increasingly targets of cyber-criminals because of the treasure trove of personal and financial information they possess. Multifamily firms and their third-party service providers collect and maintain sensitive personally identifiable information. This includes Social Security numbers and the financial details of residents, prospective residents and employees that is valuable to data thieves and those wishing to do harm to a company’s reputation and financial standing. Federal lawmakers are working to enhance existing data privacy and security laws. They
10UpdatedSeptember2017
are considering the creation of a national data security standard and data breach notification requirements to replace the current patchwork of privacy and data breach laws in 47 states and the District of Columbia. What We Are Doing: Supporting efforts by Congress and the Administration to implement mechanisms for the private sector and Federal Government to share information about possible cyber threats and intrusions. We are also advocating for reasonable data security standards and data breach notification requirements for multifamily firms while protecting consumers, our networks and our industry. In addition, we released a cybersecurity white paper that serves as a roadmap to enhanced security for the industry and launched a cybersecurity alert system that distributes time-sensitive threat information to member companies. TELECOMMUNICATIONS Why It Matters: The multifamily industry increasingly relies on web-based platforms and mobile connectivity for property operations, as well as corporate functions from marketing to revenue management and leasing to maintenance. Reliable communications services significantly impact residents and inadequate connectivity may involve costly technical solutions. The Federal Communications Commission and Congress are considering a range of regulatory and legislative issues that could impact apartment operations and services for apartment communities. This includes laws governing video, telephone and broadband, expanded broadband deployment, cellular service and more. What We Are Doing: Educating policymakers about the growing need for reliable telecommunications services for apartment operations and resident satisfaction. This, is in addition to the industry’s interest in policies affecting broadband deployment, service provider agreements and access to property and solutions for connectivity and capacity challenges. PATENT REFORM Why It Matters: Multifamily companies and service providers have been targeted by abusive “patent trolls” who threaten legal action and demand fees without evidence supporting their claims. Targeted firms are forced to pay licensing fees or defend against illegitimate patent infringement claims for using common technology products. This includes resident-facing programs for marketing, payments, maintenance requests and other property-level communications, as well as off-the-shelf products like on-site security systems. There is strong bipartisan support in Congress to curb the problem. Proposed legislation would require greater detail in demand letters and legal filings, and stronger litigation standards. However, disagreement remains over several aspects of the issue as lawmakers try to address abuse and protect incentives for innovation. What We Are Doing: Urging Congress to pass legislation that would bring greater transparency and efficiency to patent regulation and enforcement, and create disincentives to fraud and abuse. NMHC/NAA have joined with other real estate and business groups in asking lawmakers to address predatory demand letters, patent trolls and improve the patent litigation system. MUSIC LICENSING Why It Matters: Performing Rights Organizations administer and enforce copyrights on behalf of copyright owners. Some claim that apartment communities may be obligated to obtain a public performance license for certain uses of copyrighted music.

What We Are Doing: Seeking potential opportunities to clarify music licensing requirements for apartment firms as Congress and the Administration evaluate music copyright laws. HOME SHARING SERVICES (Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway) Why It Matters: The multifamily industry is increasingly dealing with the implications, both positive and negative, of peer-to-peer home sharing services like Airbnb, VRBO and HomeAway. While these services are increasingly popular with consumers, some of the potential issues at hand include tenant lease violations, on-site security concerns and questions around liability and property insurance. While there are unanswered questions for our industry, and our economy as a whole, the “sharing economy” is booming. With such incredible growth, Congressional and federal oversight is likely to increase. What We Are Doing: Continuing to support the right of multifamily firms and other property owners to participate in all aspects of the “sharing economy,” if they so choose and if it is done in full compliance with existing law and regulations. While most legislative and regulatory action in this area has been at the state and local levels, Congress and several federal agencies have begun to examine the impact of Airbnb, Uber and other companies considered part of the sharing economy. Both the Federal Trade Commission and the House have held hearings on the topic and this oversight is not expected to ease. We continue to monitor the issue for developments that could impact the apartment industry from a legal or regulatory perspective.
Housing Policy
SECTION 8 RENTAL ASSISTANCE Why It Matters: The Section 8 program is plagued by inefficiencies that make it more expensive to rent to a Section 8 renter than a market-rate renter. At the same time, a growing number of jurisdictions are trying to enact “source of income” fair housing protections that effectively make the program mandatory. What We Are Doing: Working to prevent potential rental payment losses by intervening when related budget cuts are proposed. We are also working to ensure that any reform measures encourage private sector participation and we are supportive of new opportunities for private industry engagement in affordable housing through programs like the Rental Assistance Demonstration. In addition, we are working to reaffirm the voluntary intent and design of HUD’s affordable housing programs by Congress and HUD. We worked tirelessly to enact reforms signed into law by President Obama in July 2016 that will maximize the impact of taxpayer dollars and eliminate inefficiencies in critical federal housing programs. Specifically, these reforms streamline the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program’s property inspection process by allowing for immediate occupancy if the apartment home has been inspected within the past 24 months. The reforms also include extending the contract term for project-based vouchers from 15 to 20 years. Additionally, we helped enact legislation signed into law by the President in December 2015 that significantly reduces the Section 8 voucher program’s administrative burdens by allowing for the recertification of incomes every three years, instead of annually, for residents on fixed incomes. We will work with Congress and the new Administration to actively promote future reforms to the program regarding funding to avoid payment interruptions for property owners and to further streamline the program.

RENTAL ASSISTANCE DEMONSTRATION Why it Matters: The Rental Assistance Demonstration, or RAD, is an affordable housing preservation strategy for public housing authorities, allowing for the conversion of public housing properties at risk of obsolescence or underfunding into project-based vouchers or rental assistance contracts under the Section 8 program. This conversion provides opportunities for private sector participation through the redevelopment, management and financing of the converted properties. What We Are Doing: Working with Congress and HUD to expand the RAD program. The effort was initially approved to convert 60,000 units to affordable housing in 2011. We worked with Congress and HUD to expand the program in 2014 to 185,000 units, and will explore opportunities for further expansion to meet the substantial demand for affordable housing preservation. FAIR MARKET RENTS (FMRs) AND SMALL AREA FAIR MARKET RENTS (SAFMRs) Why it Matters: The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program provides subsidized rents for qualifying low-income families. The program uses HUD-determined FMRs to establish maximum allowable rents the government will pay to a private apartment owner who rents to a family with a Section 8 voucher. HUD's current method for establishing FMRs and determining housing assistance payments is a proven, efficient system. What We Are Doing: Expressing concern with HUD’s action to move to a SAFMRs system, which establishes rent rates by ZIP Code. The SAFMR system remains un-vetted, less flexible and less reflective of housing providers' needs for participation in assisted housing programs. NMHC is pleased that HUD has notified Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) that the mandatory implementation of the SAFMR methodology would be suspended until 2020 for all metro areas except for the Dallas-Plano-Irving Metro Division. NMHC applauds this decision, as we have long held that zip codes, the geographic level that SAFMRs currently use, do not represent real estate markets. BASIC ALLOWANCE FOR HOUSING (BAH) Why It Matters: One million service members rely on their Basic Housing Allowance (BAH) to pay their housing expenses. The BAH is also key to the viability of the Department of Defense’s Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI), which the multifamily industry has participated in for nearly 20 years. Military compensation and benefits reform efforts have looked at significantly reducing the BAH, and how it is allocated, to help balance the military’s budget. Reducing military housing benefits limits housing options for military families and can undermine apartment investments in and around military installations. What We Are Doing: Working to ensure that the success of the MHPI and the private rental markets around military housing installations are not jeopardized through reductions to the BAH or any other proposals that envision long-term changes to military housing benefits. We have advocated against changes to the BAH in the annual defense authorization and spending bills and successfully held back aggressive reductions proposed in previous years in favor of a one percent per year reduction capped at 5 percent.

U.S. CENSUS BUREAU’S AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY Why It Matters: The U.S. Census Bureau’s American Committee Survey (ACS) provides Congress, state and local governments, businesses and non-profits with the objective, reliable data they need to invest wisely, stimulate economic and job growth, and meet the needs of vulnerable populations, such as veterans, people with disabilities, older Americans and low income households. Funding of the ACS, as well as its mandatory nature, is regularly in jeopardy when budgets are discussed. The ACS is important to the multifamily industry because it helps in estimating the economic impact of apartments and provides the latest relevant data. What We Are Doing: Continuing to urge lawmakers to fund ACS, along with testing for the 2020 survey. In addition, we continue to work with a broad coalition expressing our concern over the proposed deep cuts in the most recent budget cycle.
Indoor Environmental
LEAD-BASED PAINT Why It Matters: In 1993, Congress directed the EPA to determine whether there were lead hazards existing in public and commercial properties and, if so, to develop a regulation to protect the public health. Despite the passage of time, EPA has failed to conduct any targeted research on this matter, but has proposed a rule to expand lead-based paint regulations that apply to certain residential properties to public and commercial buildings. Pre-1978 residential properties have been guided by a number of lead-based paint disclosure and mitigation regulations for more than 20 years. The EPA proposal would require apartments built after 1978 to comply with similar regulations even though EPA has failed to demonstrate that these properties contain lead paint or pose a lead-hazard. Moreover, this regulation would duplicate the intent of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Lead in Construction Standard that already applies to the disturbance of lead on all properties – regardless of the age of or type of the building. The concentration of lead in drinking water is regulated by EPA under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Water suppliers as defined in the Act are responsible for complying with this regulation. What We Are Doing: Continuing to file numerous comments on the regulatory proposal with EPA, including a technical appraisal of EPA’s theoretical model of lead exposure during renovation and repairs on public and commercial properties. We have worked with the Small Business Administration to ensure representation of the multifamily industry on regulatory review panels. We have also raised concerns about the flawed regulatory process with the White House Office of Management and Budget. The Administration is currently reviewing the status of pending regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Whether the Agency will continue to pursue this rulemaking given the flawed process, is very much in question. Therefore, we will continue to monitory the status of lead rules under the TSCA framework.
Building Codes BUILDING CODES Why It Matters: Cost-effective building codes and standards that promote building safety and efficiency benefit multifamily owners, operators and residents. Burdensome code requirements discourage multifamily development, increase construction costs and negatively impact housing affordability. The International
14UpdatedSeptember2017
Code Council is beginning work now on the 2021 model building codes, which will affect many areas of concern to apartment properties, including fire safety requirements, energy efficiency measures, accessibility and green building requirements. Special emphasis is being placed on fires in both existing and new apartments because of the recent fires that have gotten special attention. What We Are Doing: Participating and serving on committees in the codes and standards development activities of the International Code Council, National Fire Protection Association, and ASHRAE. We also work with other organizations with like interests, including the National Association of Home Builders, the American Institute of Architects and the Building Owners and Managers Association. In addition, we craft code proposals, develop commentary and serve as a resource on code issues for our members. Of note, the issue of fires in both new and existing apartments is of special concern. The massive news coverage of the various fires in apartments has made the issue a major concern to everyone involved in code and standards development with several proposals coming forward in 2016 to address the issue. Many of the proposals if adopted would have been very detrimental to the development and construction of apartments. To counter the onslaught of proposals, we have developed a proposal in partnership with our members to directly address the fire issue by emphasizing changes to the codes, but limiting the impact on construction. Our proposal was supported by code and fire officials nationwide, as well as the ICC Fire Code Action Committee, and it was approved for inclusion in the 2018 ICC Codes. The issue of fires in apartments will continue to be a major issue in 2017-2020. Ideas and additional changes, in addition to the one supported by the industry and approved for the 2018 codes, are already coming forward for discussion and consideration for changes in the 2021 codes.
Regulatory Reform
Why It Matters: At a time when the multifamily industry is facing increasing pressure to meet booming demand, an overly burdensome regulatory infrastructure is forcing financers, developers and operators to manage numerous compliance hurdles and rising costs. The industry, and particularly apartment owners and developers, must balance a wide array of concerns regarding project viability, regulatory cost and compliance at all levels of government. Existing federal regulations from a wide range of federal agencies including HUD, EPA, DOL, OSHA and DOE contribute to making housing less economically feasible to develop. While well-intentioned in nature, some regulations have negatively impacted the development and management of multifamily housing at a time when our industry strives tirelessly to address the shortage of housing for American families. Regulations should have demonstrable benefits that justify the cost of compliance and that federal agencies should be aware that broad-stroke regulations often have disproportionate effects on industries that serve as key drivers of our economy.
What We Are Doing: Continuing to advocate for regulatory reform. In March, NMHC/NAA sent a letter to President Trump highlighting some of the specific federal regulations that slow or prevent development of housing that is affordable, challenge otherwise legitimate business practices designed to ensure safe and decent housing for residents, decrease access to capital and make it difficult to transfer family-owned businesses from one generation to another. We are urging the Administration and leaders in Congress to provide guidance or clarity, repeal or reform and provide on inefficient or outdated rules and regulations to encourage economic growth, spur job creation and further expand housing for all Americans.

NMHC POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (PAC)
REPORT
NMHC PAC Board Report September 2017
NMHC’s political action committee, NMHC PAC, supports the apartment industry’s legislative goals, educates Congress about multifamily housing issues and encourages participation in the political process. • NMHC PAC Receipts and Disbursements: As of August 25, there are 762 employees from 134 NMHC member firms that have contributed $1,007,679 to NMHC PAC. This is 81% of the $1.25m fundraising goal the committee set for this off-election year. To date, 97 NMHC members are part of the maxed out donor program donating $5,000 individually. The NMHC PAC and government affairs staff are executing the 2017/2018 PAC Disbursement Budget. The budget outlines the plan to spend approximately $2.8 million this election cycle. The bulk of the contributions are slated for key Congressional leadership and committees with purview over critical legislative issues including tax and housing finance reform, reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program, housing affordability, telecommunication and technology, building codes, HUD rental assistance programs, building codes and energy efficiency. The NMHC staff also focuses on the critical regulatory issues impacting the industry’s day to day operations such as fair housing, resident credit and criminal screening, broadband deployment and completion issues and on issues that specifically impact both the privatized military housing and student housing industries. During this off-election year, to date, NMHC PAC has disbursed $1.075 million to 208 Congressional campaigns, leadership PACs and party committees. Many of these contributions continue to be made to lawmakers at small, targeted fundraising events hosted by real estate industry groups. Employees of the following firms have contributed $15,000 or more in 2017: Alliance Residential, AMLI Residential, ARA Newmark, The Bozzuto Group, Bridge Investment Group, Camden Property Trust, CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, Equity Residential, Gables Residential, Heritage Title Company of Austin, HFF, Holland Partner Group, JLL, Legacy Partners Residential, Lincoln Property Company, National Multifamily Housing Council, Trammell Crow Residential, UDR, and Wood Partners. The top five firms for employee contributions to date are: ARA Newmark ($59,350), JLL ($58,601), Alliance Residential ($52,955), CBRE ($50,600), and The Bozzuto Group ($40,100). • NMHC PAC Co-Hosted Events: A significant amount of NMHC PAC funds are used co-hosting small real estate specific events allowing NMHC’s government affairs team to educated lawmakers on the importance of the multifamily industry and on the issues impacting our members’ bottom lines. • NMHC Personal Dollar Campaign: To strengthen the multifamily industry’s voice and visibility, the NMHC PAC committee created the Personal Dollar Campaign Program. In addition to events based in Washington, the NMHC PAC Committee continues to expand the personal dollar initiative and encourages NMHC executives to contribute directly to candidates at the federal level who are supportive of the apartment industry. This program helps NMHC leverage the level of political support attributed to the multifamily industry beyond the current Federal Election Commission (FEC) limits that govern NMHC PAC disbursements. By supporting this effort, NMHC members send a unified message in a political environment that is increasingly crowded to the key members of Congress with jurisdiction over the multifamily industry. • NMHC PAC Prior Authorization: Federal law requires member firms of NMHC to sign a Prior Authorization Form in order for the executive or administrative personnel of the firm to receive NMHC PAC information and/or be legally solicited for voluntary PAC contributions. Individual members do not need to sign Prior Authorization Forms. These signed forms allow NMHC staff to communicate with
member firms about the importance of NMHC PAC and NMHC’s advocacy efforts on behalf of the industry. NMHC PAC only solicits lead and alternate representatives at member firms. NMHC conducts prior authorization campaigns at the beginning of each year. • 2017 NMHC Political Action Committee Leadership: Sue Ansel, President and CEO of Gables Residential, serves as the NMHC PAC Chairwoman. She is supported by the NMHC PAC Committee, which plays a critical role in fundraising and oversight. The 2017 NMHC PAC Committee members are:
Sue Ansel, Gables Residential – PAC Chairwoman Bruce Barfield, Rainmaker LRO Bill Bayless, American Campus Communities Laura Beuerlein, Heritage Title Company Diane Butler, Butler Advisers Mike Darling, Walker & Dunlop Marc deBaptiste, ARA Newmark Bob DeWitt, GID Alan George, Equity Residential Bob Hart, TruAmerica Multifamily Margette Hepfner, Lincoln Property Company Clyde Holland, Holland Partner Group Will Mathews, Colliers International Arlene Mayfield, RentPath Jim McGinley, Monogram Residential Trust Mike Miller, AUM Greg Mutz, AMLI Residential Keith Oden, Camden Property Trust Donna Preiss, The Preiss Company David Schwartz, Waterton Residential John Sebree, Marcus & Millichap/Institutional Property Advisors Jeff Stack, SARES*REGIS Group Paul Stell, The Stellar Family of Companies Leonard Wood, Jr., Trammell Crow Residential

SPEAKER BIOGRAPHIES
Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) U.S. Senate
Senator John Barrasso has a long and distinguished career in both medicine and public service. In 2012, Barrasso was reelected to the U.S. Senate with over 75% of the vote to represent his home state of Wyoming. He is the fourth-ranking member in the Senate Republican leadership as Chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee. He serves on committees that directly impact Wyoming’s economy, energy interests, public lands, national parks and trade. Senator Barrasso is known by many as Wyoming’s Doctor. During his 24 years as an orthopedic surgeon, Barrasso served as President of the Wyoming Medical Society and was named Wyoming Physician of the Year. Barrasso has three children – Peter, Emma and Hadley. He and his wife Bobbi live in Casper.
Steve Case Revolution LLC
As Chairman and CEO of Revolution LLC, a Washington, D.C.- based investment firm he co-founded in 2005, Steve partners with visionary entrepreneurs to build significant ‘built to last’ businesses. Revolution invests in and actively helps build companies leveraging technology to disrupt existing markets. This includes both early and mid-stage growth companies through both the Revolution Growth fund, created in 2011, and the Revolution Ventures fund, launched in 2013. Revolution has backed more than 30 companies, including: sweetgreen, Zipcar, Revolution Foods, LivingSocial, Bigcommerce and Optoro. Steve’s entrepreneurial career began in 1985 when he co-founded America Online (AOL). Under Steve’s leadership, AOL became the world’s largest and most valuable Internet company, driving the worldwide adoption of a medium that has transformed business and society. AOL was the first Internet company to go public and the best performing stock of the 1990s, delivering a 11,616% return to shareholders. At its peak, nearly half of Internet users in the United States used AOL. In 2000, Steve negotiated the largest merger in business history, bringing together AOL and Time Warner in a transaction that gave AOL shareholders a majority stake in the combined company. To facilitate the merger, Steve agreed to step down as CEO when the merger closed. Steve’s passion for helping entrepreneurs remains his driving force. He was the founding chair of the Startup America Partnership — an effort launched at the White House to accelerate high-growth entrepreneurship throughout the nation. Steve also was the founding co-chair of the National Advisory Council on Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and a member of President Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, where he chaired the subcommittee on entrepreneurship. In 2014, Steve was named a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. Steve has been a leading voice in shaping government policy on issues related to entrepreneurship, working across the aisle to advance public policies that expand access to capital and talent. He was instrumental in passing the JOBS (Jumpstart Our Business Startups) Act, and is active in advocating on behalf of immigration reform. In April, 2016, Steve released his #1 best-selling business book, The Third Wave, in which Case explains the ways newly emerging technology companies will have to rethink their relationships with customers, with competitors, and with governments; and offers advice for how entrepreneurs can make winning business decisions and strategies—and how all of us can make sense of this changing digital age. Steve is also Chairman of the Case Foundation, which he established with his wife Jean in 1997. Together the Cases have invested in hundreds of organizations, initiatives and partnerships with a focus on leveraging the Internet and entrepreneurial approaches to strengthen the social sector. In 2010, Steve and Jean joined The Giving Pledge and publicly reaffirmed their commitment to give away the majority of their wealth to philanthropic causes.
Congresswoman Judy Chu (D-CA) U.S. House of Representatives
Judy Chu was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in July 2009. She represents the 27th Congressional District, which includes Pasadena and the west San Gabriel Valley of southern California. Rep. Chu currently serves on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over legislation pertaining to taxes, revenues, Social Security, and Medicare. In that Committee, Rep. Chu is a member of the Subcommittees on Health and Human Resources, giving her oversight over healthcare reform and crucial safety net programs. She also serves on the House Small Business Committee, which has oversight of the Small Business Administration, and is a member of the Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Tax and Capital Access. Chu was first elected to the Board of Education for Garvey School District in 1985. From there, she was elected to the Monterey Park City Council, where she served as Mayor three times. She then was elected to the State Assembly and then California’s elected tax board, known as the State Board of Equalization. In 2009, she became the first Chinese American woman elected to Congress in history.
Sean Conway Pillow Residential

Prior to Pillow, Sean was the Co-founder of Notehall, an online class and study notes provider, which was acquired by Chegg (NYSE: CHGG) in 2011.
Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
In 2012, Tennesseans overwhelmingly elected Bob Corker to his second term in the U.S. Senate, where he serves as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and is an active member of the Banking Committee and the Budget Committee. Bob was Tennessee’s commissioner of finance and mayor of Chattanooga before being elected to the Senate in 2006, but he spent most of his life in business. At the age of 25, Bob started his own construction company with $8,000 in savings, eventually expanding operations to 18 states across the country. It’s that results-driven businessman’s perspective that allowed him to make a mark early in his Senate tenure and become a pragmatic thought leader on fiscal and financial issues. Bob quickly rose to prominence on the Banking Committee, where he became known for his no-nonsense, tough questioning of witnesses during the auto industry bailout and 2008 financial crisis. Bob also is a key voice in Congress on housing finance reform. A bipartisan bill he coauthored in 2013 has been called the “blueprint” for how our nation’s housing finance system should look in the future. A key leader on our nation’s fiscal challenges, Bob is one of the few members of Congress to put pen to paper and produce a bill that would set our country on a path to fiscal solvency. As one of the most fiscally conservative members of Congress, he continues to fight against Washington’s all too common practice of “generational theft.” Recognizing the important impact U.S. leadership and diplomacy abroad can have on our economy and national security, Bob also is an active leader on the Foreign Relations Committee. Since taking office in 2007, he has visited more than 70 countries to gain a deeper understanding of the strategic relationships between the U.S. and other nations, and in 2015, his colleagues elected him chairman. As the lead Republican on the committee, Corker works with his colleagues to set the committee agenda and help carry out legislative and oversight responsibilities. Bob graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1974 with a degree in Industrial Management. He and his wife of 30 years, Elizabeth, live in Chattanooga. They have two daughters, Emily Corker, Julia and her husband Justin Spickard, and one grandchild.

Congressman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) U.S. House of Representatives
First elected to Congress in 2002, Jeb Hensarling is a recognized conservative leader in Congress and an outspoken advocate for economic opportunity, individual liberty, and religious freedom. As chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Jeb is a leader in promoting consumer choice, competitive markets, and smart regulation in our financial markets. He was the only member of Congress to have introduced comprehensive reform legislation for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac during the credit crisis, lauded in the media as “a concrete plan for fixing Fannie and Freddie.” Jeb was recognized by The New York Times for “leading the GOP Vanguard against the Bailout,” and was the only member of Congress to have introduced a legislative alternative to TARP during the heart of the credit crisis, which would have minimized taxpayer exposure and the politicization of the market. A lifelong conservative dedicated to advancing the principals of faith, family, free enterprise, and freedom, Jeb was chosen by his congressional colleagues during the 112th Congress to chair the House Republican Conference—the fourth ranking leadership position in the House—and in the 110th Congress, he was elected chairman of the Republican Study Committee—the largest conservative caucus in the House. The Associated Press recently recognized Jeb’s consistency on conservative issues saying, “he made cutting federal spending, ending earmarks and reducing the size of government his priorities before the tea party came into existence.” In recognition of his relentless fight to cut wasteful Washington spending and remove barriers to job growth, Jeb was appointed to serve on the Congressional Oversight Panel for TARP, the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, and was most recently appointed co-chairman of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction. Prior to the 112th Congress, Jeb served as the number two Republican on the House Budget Committee—under Paul Ryan—and has consistently fought to reduce our debt and stop out-of-control Washington spending. He is a co-author of the “Spending, Deficit, and Debt Control Act,” a landmark budget reform bill that was heralded as the “gold standard” of budget enforcement legislation by a coalition of conservative groups, including the Americans for Tax Reform, Citizens United Against Government Waste, Citizens for a Sound Economy, and the National Taxpayer Union. Jeb also authored the “Spending Limit Amendment”—a Constitutional amendment that would limit federal spending to no more than 20% of the economy—the historic average since WWII. For his work to rein in wasteful Washington spending and put our country back on a fiscally sustainable path, the National Review Online dubbed him “Rep. Budget Reform,” and The Dallas Morning News called him a “truth teller” who “has become one of the most important GOP members of Congress.” Born in Stephenville, Texas, Jeb grew up working on his father’s poultry farm near College Station where he learned the value of hard work. His values were further solodified through his participation in Boy Scouts, where he earned the coveted rank of Eagle Scout. He earned a degree in economics from Texas A&M University in 1979 and a law degree from the University of Texas in 1982. Before coming to Congress, Jeb spent ten years in private business, serving as an officer for a successful investment firm, a data management company, and an electric retail company. Jeb and his wife, Melissa, are members of St. Michael and All Angels Church, and reside in Dallas with their two children.

Jim grew up as the child of a single working mom in a small town. As a member of Congress, Jim works hard to provide all American children the same opportunities he had to succeed: access to a first-rate public school, affordable and effective health care, a decent and safe home, and a supportive community. Born in Lima, Peru in 1966 to American parents, he spent the early years of his childhood in Peru and Colombia while his father worked for the Ford Foundation and UNICEF.

Prior to his service in Congress, Jim ran the New York City branch of The Enterprise Community Partners, a nonprofit dedicated to addressing the unique challenges of urban poverty. Jim’s team led the way in financing the construction of thousands of affordable housing units in the greater New York metropolitan region, often using new green technologies to achieve energy efficiency and reduce utility costs. Jim’s experience at Enterprise spurred his involvement in politics.

Congressman Erik Paulsen (R-MN) U.S. House of Representatives
In January 2017, Congressman Erik Paulsen was sworn in to serve his fifth term representing Minnesota’s Third Congressional District. Paulsen's legislative agenda parallels the initiatives that make Minnesota a great place to live, work and raise a family: a strong economic climate for job growth, a fairly-funded and accountable education system, a well-preserved environment, safe communities, and tax reform for taxpayers and businesses. Paulsen is a member of the Ways & Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over health care, economic and trade policy and is the chief tax writing committee in the House of Representatives. He supports pro-growth initiatives and believes that open markets are the key to a strong economy. Erik is also a member of the Joint Economic Committee, a bicameral Congressional Committee composed of ten members from the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, which studies and performs research on matters relating to the U.S. economy, and advises Congress on how to best spur economic growth and create jobs. Erik serves as co-chair of the House Medical Technology Caucus and is a leader in advocating for the medical technology industry, the life-saving technologies it provides to patients, and the hundreds of thousands of jobs it supports. In addition, he is co-chair of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) Caucus to promote trade with Europe. Paulsen is also a leading advocate for combating sex trafficking and is the chief author of legislation to expand safe harbor laws to ensure minors who are trafficked are treated as victims instead of criminals by the justice system, as well as legislation to reform child welfare systems and protect vulnerable youth from sexual exploitation. Both bills passed the House of Representatives with overwhelming support. Erik brings real-world experience to Capitol Hill with over 16 years of business experience, including working as a business analyst at Target Corporation. Before being elected to Congress in 2008, Paulsen represented Minnesotans for 14 years in the State Legislature where he served as House Majority Leader from 2003 to 2007.

At Georgia Tech, David earned a degree in Industrial Engineering and a master’s in Operations Research while working warehouse and construction jobs. After graduating, he married his wife Bonnie, whom he had met in the first grade and they have been married for 44 years.
Prior to his decisive election to the U.S. Senate in 2014, David had never held public office and was inspired to shake up Washington and change the direction of our country. David is a champion for term limits for politicians, reining in out-of-control spending, growing the economy, and tackling our nation’s debt crisis. In 2016, David was an early supporter of President Donald J. Trump and continues to be one of the President's closest allies in the U.S. Senate.
For the 115th Congress, David serves on the Armed Services Committee; Banking Committee; Agriculture Committee; and Budget Committee. His role on these powerful committees puts him at the intersection of solving our national debt crisis and global security crisis.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan U.S. House of Representatives
Paul Ryan is the 54th Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Now serving his tenth term in the House, he represents Wisconsin’s First Congressional District. Paul, his wife, Janna, and their three children, Liza, Charlie, and Sam, live in Janesville, Wisconsin.
Son of Janesville
A fifth-generation Wisconsinite, Paul is the youngest of four children born to Paul Sr. and Betty Ryan. When he wasn’t in school, he helped make ends meet by doing all sorts of odd jobs: painting houses, landscaping, mowing lawns. He graduated from Joseph A. Craig High School and later earned a degree in economics and political science at Miami University in Ohio.
The Conservative Movement
In 1992, Paul moved to Washington, D.C., where he learned from a number of conservative mentors. His first job was working as an aide to Senator Bob Kasten (R-WI) on the Senate Small Business Committee. After a disappointing election for Republicans, he left the Hill to do policy analysis at the think tank Empower America for former Congressman Jack Kemp (R-NY). (He met Kemp while waiting tables at the Capitol Hill restaurant Tortilla Coast.) In November 1994, Republicans won a majority in the House for the first time in 40 years. The next year, Paul returned to the Hill as legislative director to then-Congressman Sam Brownback (R-KS).
Wisconsin’s First District
In 1998, after moving back to Janesville, Paul won his first election to the House at the age of 28. He was the youngest member of his freshman class. While serving in Congress, he met his wife, Janna. In April 2000, he proposed at a favorite fishing spot, Big St. Germain Lake in Wisconsin. They were married in Oklahoma City later that year. Today, they live on the same block Paul grew up on, and they have three children: Liza, Charlie, and Sam. They are parishioners at St. John Vianney Catholic Church.
Setting the Agenda
In 2008, Paul received national attention for writing “The Roadmap for America’s Future,” a plan to spur economic growth by fixing the tax code and pay off the national debt by reforming Medicare and Social Security. In 2011, he became chairman of the House Budget Committee, where he incorporated many of the roadmap’s ideas into his budget proposal, “The Path to Prosperity.” The House of Representatives passed his budget proposal every year he was chairman—or four years in a row. In 2012, Paul was the Republican nominee for vice president of the United States. In 2013, he and Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) negotiated the first budget agreement in a divided Congress since 1986.
Getting the Job Done
In 2015, Paul became chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. In the spring of that year, he led the effort to renew trade promotion authority for the first time since 2002. Paul also played an important role in the first significant Medicare reform in years. In October 2015, after then-speaker John Boehner retired from Congress, Paul was elected speaker of the House. A committed conservative and public servant, Paul has spent his life advocating for real solutions that will expand opportunity for all Americans. And to the speakership, he brings that same passion for getting results.

After graduating from college, he studied at Yale Law School, where he worked at Yale’s Veterans Legal Services Clinic, providing free legal counsel to veterans of our nation’s wars in Vietnam and Iraq. Vance earned his law degree in 2013. After a stint at a large corporate law firm, Vance moved to San Francisco to work in the technology industry. He serves as a principal at the leading Silicon Valley venture capital firm Mithril Capital, cofounded by Peter Thiel and Ajay Royan. As an investor, Vance has taken a special interest in the biotechnology industry and other transformative sectors of the economy. In early 2017, Vance joined as a partner in AOL founder Steve Case’s venture capital company, Revolution LLC, which concentrates on bolstering entrepreneurship and disruptive, high-growth companies outside of the sphere of Silicon Valley. He also returned home to Ohio to found Our Ohio Renewal, a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the state’s opioid crisis and bringing high-quality employment and educational opportunities to Ohioans. He regularly discusses politics and public policy, having appeared on ABC, CBS, and FOX News, and currently serving as a contributor on CNN. Vance lives in Columbus, Ohio, with his wife and two dogs, where he works on his nonprofit and investment activities.
Senator Chris Van Hollen Chair, Senatorial Campaign Committee
Elected to the United States Senate by the people of Maryland in November 2016, Chris Van Hollenan is committed to fighting every day to ensure that our state and our country live up to their full promise of equal rights, equal justice, and equal opportunity.
Senator Van Hollen believes that every child deserves the opportunity to pursue their dreams and benefit from a quality education, and that anyone willing to work hard should be able to find a good job. That’s why his top priorities include creating more and better jobs, strengthening small businesses, and increasing educational and job training opportunities for individuals of all ages and in every community.
Senator Van Hollen started his time in public service as a member of the Maryland State Legislature, where he became known as a tenacious advocate for everyday Marylanders and someone who was unafraid to take on powerful special interests on behalf of working people. In 2002, he was elected to represent Maryland’s 8th Congressional District. In the House of Representatives, he served as a member of the Democratic leadership and was elected by his colleagues to be the Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee and protect vital interests like Social Security and Medicare.
A tireless fighter for the people of Maryland, Senator Van Hollen has also become known for working hard to find common sense solutions to difficult national issues. In January 2015, he released a comprehensive plan to address the problem of growing inequality in America and provide a blueprint for building an economy that works for everyone — a goal that he will continue to fight for in the U.S. Senate.
Senator Van Hollen is proud to have worked successfully with members of both parties to pass bipartisan legislation whenever possible on issues of common concern, including expanding medical research, protecting the Chesapeake Bay, fighting childhood cancer, and passing the ABLE Act to assist families with children with disabilities.
Chris Van Hollen is a graduate of Swarthmore College, the John F. Kennedy School of Public Policy at Harvard University, and Georgetown University Law Center where he attended night school. He and his wife, Katherine Wilkens, are the proud parents of three children, Anna (26), Nicholas (25), and Alexander (21).
