Talk:Tom MacArthur

Requested Edits to Page

This is Chloe, Communications Director for freshman Congressman Tom MacArthur. In the interest of updating this Wikipedia page to reflect full and accurate biographical information about Congressman MacArthur, I'd like to request the following edits to be made.

1) Change section: "2014 Congressional Campaign" to "U.S. House of Representatives"

2) Under new section "U.S. House of Representatives", add new subsections, "Election", "Legislation", "Committee Assignments"

3) Under "Election" subsection, add "2014" sub-subsection, and move text that was previously under "2014 Congressional Campaign" to this section.

4) Under "Legislation", add the following text: "On February 2nd, 2015, MacArthur introduced the "Disaster Assistance Fairness and Accountability Act of 2015" that will prevent the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from recouping disaster relief funds from individuals who applied for them in good faith. This is a partial list of bills that MacArthur has co-sponsored:
• H.R. 22, the "Hire More Heroes Act," is a bill that was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during the 114th Congress. This bill "amends the Internal Revenue Code to add a provision to exempt any employee with coverage under a health care program administered by the Department of Defense, including the TRICARE program, or by the Veterans Administration, from classification as an eligible employee of an applicable large employer for purposes of the employer mandate under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to provide such employees with minimum essential health care coverage."
• H.R. 160, the "Protect Medical Innovation Act of 2015", a bill to repeal the medical device excise tax introduced in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
• H.R. 413, the "Partnership to Build America Act of 2015"
• H.R. 594, the "Waters of the United States Regulatory Overreach Protection Act of 2015"
• H.R. 596 (long title: To repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and health care-related provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010), a bill that would repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and instruct several House Committees to work on creating a new health care reform bill.
• H.R. 641, the "Conservation Easement Incentive Act of 2015"

5) Under "Committee Assignments", add the following text: "• House Armed Services Committee →• Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces →• Vice Chair of Subcommittee on Military Personnel • House Natural Resources Committee →• Subcommittee on Water, Power, and Oceans →• Subcommittee on Federal Lands"

6) Under "Personal Life", Congressman MacArthur no longer lives in Randolph, NJ. His permanent residence is in Toms River, NJ. Change first sentence to: "MacArthur lives in Toms River, New Jersey, and also owns homes in Barnegat Light and Randolph, New Jersey."

7) Under "Personal Life", include names of Congressman MacArthur's wife and children. Change second sentence to: "He and his wife Debbie have three children, David, Isabella, and Gracie, who passed away in 1996 at the age of eleven."

Thanks for all the help! Because I'm an employee of the Congressman's, I won't make these changes myself. Instead, I'm hoping an editor will approve these requests, and either I or an editor can implement. TMacCommsStaff (talk) 17:10, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
