GOPAC has announced its 2023 Class of Emerging Leaders, and included on that list, is NYS Senator Dean Murray (R, C - East Patchogue).

Last week, Republican lawmakers in Texas and Florida made significant gains in their efforts to increase governmental oversight at public institutions of higher learning. On April 20th, the Texas Senate passed Texas Senate Bill 18 (SB 18), which will eliminate tenure for professors at public colleges and universities in the state hired after January 1, 2024. Additionally, following months of debate, Florida House Bill 999 has advanced through the House Education and Employment Committee and has been revised to mirror the same DEI-eliminating legislation going through the Florida Senate.

Des Moines, Iowa - Republican White House hopefuls are courting influential religious conservatives at an event in Iowa that marks the unofficial start of the state's 2024 caucus campaign.
The Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition's annual spring fundraiser on Saturday evening is attracting, among others, former President Donald Trump, who's already a candidate, as well as former Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, who are expected to enter the race. Trump is to appear via video. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, considered a top rival to Trump, is not attending.
The event hosted by a Christian group gives the presidential prospects the chance to make their pitch to evangelicals in a state where Republicans will kick off the nominating process next year. It's also a shot at making an impression on activists who may be open to an alternative to Trump at a time when he is mired in legal problems and was recently charged in New York in a hush-money scheme involving a porn actor.

House Republicans in competitive districts dominated their Democratic counterparts in fundraising during the first three months of 2023, according to an Axios analysis.
Why it matters: Republicans have an early financial edge as they seek to expand their narrow majority and defend nearly 20 seats that went for President Biden in 2020.
By the numbers: Out of the 39 House incumbents whose seats are rated as either "toss-up" or "lean" by Cook Political Report, 17 of the top 20 fundraisers in the first quarter were Republicans. Read more
