The document summarizes the results of the 2014 midterm elections and analyzes their implications. Republicans gained control of the Senate and increased their House majority. This divided government outcome may yield both partisan clashes and unexpected bipartisan cooperation. Key fiscal and policy issues, such as the federal budget and cybersecurity, will be top priorities in the lame duck session and next Congress. Committee leadership and the broader tech agenda may be impacted by the change in Senate control.

3. What
This
Means
§ A
return
to
deal-­‐making?
TechAmerica.org
This
year’s
midterm
results
have
shades
of
1994,
2006
and
2010
rolled
into
one.
The
aQermath
of
each
divided
government
outcome
is
beRer
known
for
parJsan
skirmishes
yet
sJll
yielded
surprising
bouts
of
producJvity,
starJng
in
the
lame
duck
session
though
the
following
PresidenJal
elecJon
two
years
later.
§ Fiscal
fights
back
in
spotlight.
Fiscal
issues
will
reclaim
center
stage,
starJng
with
the
lame
duck
session.
We
expect
Congress
to
temporarily
extend
the
ConJnuing
ResoluJon
(CR)
perhaps
with
a
full-­‐year
updated
spending
bill
or
two
aRached;
renew
a
package
of
expired
tax
provisions
with
perhaps
a
few
items
made
permanent;
and
pass
a
defense
authorizaJon
bill,
possibly
with
cybersecurity-­‐related
provisions
tacked
on.
§ Deadlines
drive
the
calendar.
In
2015,
the
calendar
will
once
again
be
driven
by
fiscal
deadlines.
The
Congressional
budget
process
may
be
restored
to
prevent
further
“legislaJve
cliff”
scenarios
from
occurring,
but
Republicans
have
to
carefully
weigh
2014
campaign
promises
vs
an
unfriendly
2016
electoral
map
in
deciding
how
far
they
can
push
their
favored
policies.

10. Lame
Duck
§ Appropria*ons:
The
current
CR
expires
on
December
11
and
House
and
Senate
appropriaJons
staff
have
been
working
to
reconcile
what
differences
on
spending
bills.
Given
that
there
is
sJll
no
bicameral
member-­‐level
agreement
on
subcommiRee
spending
allocaJons,
it
is
likely
that
another
temporary
CR
running
through
early
2015
(February
or
March)
will
become
necessary.
A
full-­‐year
bill
in
early
2015
seem
likely.
§ Internet
Tax
Freedom
Act/Marketplace
Fairness
Act.
A
clean
extension
of
the
ITFA
beyond
the
current
December
11
expiraJon
is
most
likely;
backers
will
be
seeking
a
longer
extension,
but
any
lengthy
extension
will
draw
efforts
to
tack
on
the
Marketplace
Fairness
Act
(MFA).
§ Defense
Authoriza*on/AUMF/Cybersecurity.
Defense
authorizaJon
likely
gets
done
in
the
lame
duck,
parJcularly
given
the
pending
reJrement
of
Senate
Armed
Services
Chairman
Carl
Levin
(D-­‐MI).
The
DoD
authorizaJon
bill
has
passed
every
year
for
the
last
53
years,
and
there’s
almost
zero
chance
the
streak
is
broken
now.
§ Tax
Extenders:
Both
parJes
have
expressed
an
interest
in
moving
tax
extenders,
although
the
House
Republicans
and
Senate
Democrats
remain
at
odds
on
how
to
proceed.
Senate
is
most
likely
to
win,
especially
given
their
two
year
approach
and
Sen.
McConnell’s
desire
to
complete
the
bill
prior
to
the
114th
Congress.
§ Big
Ticket
Items:
With
a
new
majority
in

“big
Jcket
items”
are
likely
to
be
punted
unJl
the

§ Sending

a

for

may
work
to

The
Good
§ An
end
to
budget
brinkmanship?
§ McConnell:
No
budget
shutdown,
debt
ceiling
showdown
§ The
larger
quesJon:
Will
the
GOP
put
provisions
in
spending
bills
that
the
White
House
could
veto?
§ Normalcy
in
the
budget
process
would
be
huge
—
enabling
CIO
&
contractor
planning
§ Will
the
GOP
govern?
§ GOP
priority:
Government
reform?
§ DOD
could
see
some
budget
flexibility
—
maybe
even
more
IT
money

23. Public
Sector
Outlook
for
2015
The
Bad
§ More
oversight
of
the
agencies
—
that
impacts
vendors
as
well
(Remember
HealthCare.gov
hearings?)
§ Unlikely
feds
will
see
any
pay
raises
–
Impacts
your
business
environment
§ GOP
priority:
Government
reform?
– Comment
already
made
that
TSA
will
conJnue
as
“whipping
boy”
§ Civilian
agencies
are
unlikely
to
see
any
IT
budget
increases

24. Public
Sector
Outlook
for
2015
Groundhog
Day
§ Fundamentals
remain
largely
the
same
§ Despite
the
dropping
deficit,
government
remains
in
the
age
of
‘do
more
with
less’
–
No
big
spikes
in
IT
spending
w/o
a
game
changer
§ The
debate
is
likely
to
be
defined
by
deficits,
fiscal
concerns
§ For
government
acquisiJons,
lowest
price
is
likely
to
conJnue
to
be
a
driver,
despite
frustraJons
that
it
isn’t
the
best
opJon
for
government

25. Public

Opportuni*es
§ Tired
of
doing
the
same
thing
over
and
over
again
and
expecJng
different
results?
§ InnovaJon
has
been
a
big
driver
in
agencies
—
that
is
likely
to
conJnue
§ Budget
pressures
have
been
a
big
driver
—
that
is
unlikely
to
change
§ ARempts
to
improve
the
government
IT
acquisiJon
process
§ GSA’s
18F
conJnues
to
garner
much
focus
§ The
new
federal
CIO
—
who
will
it
be?

§ Ebola

has
asked

more
than
$6

immediately,
1.54
billion
as
a
conJngency
fund.
§ $2.43
B
for
HHS,
$1.98b
for

of
the

(several
RFIs
were
posted
this
week).
§ Commercial

Two

– Expect
a
few
