TMKG Retained by Ron Meyer for Congress Campaign

Firm to Manage National Fundraising Strategy for '14 Cycle's Youngest Congressional Candidate

2013-04-17

WASHINGTON, DC, April 17, 2013 (Press-News.org) The Macsata-Kornegay Group, Inc. (TMKG) today announced that the Ron Meyer for Congress campaign committee has retained the firm to manage his national fundraising efforts, including outreach to political action committees. In that capacity, Amanda Kornegay will serve as Finance Director for the campaign.

"Ron's youth and fiscally-responsible generational message are the way that we can not only revitalize the Republican Party and its brand, but also a promising opportunity to get fatigued donors excited about the 2014 midterm election," said Amanda Kornegay, TMKG partner. "We're confident that Ron's entrance into the primary is going to make this race a transformational election for the Republican Party."

Meyer is running in Virginia's 11th Congressional District against incumbent Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA). At age 23, Meyer would be among the youngest ever elected to Congress (turning 25 on September 28, 2014), and, unlike the famous 1984 Mondale vs. Reagan debate one-liner, Meyer would make his age an issue in this race.

Ron Meyer summarized his campaign's relationship with TMKG by saying, "With the firm's tremendous record, I couldn't be more pleased to sign with the Macsata-Kornegay Group for national fundraising. We have a unique race--I'm 23 years old--but this team realizes that our message has real fundraising potential. I'm ready. The firm is ready. We're excited to get to work."

Mammogram tool improves some breast cancer detection but also increases false alarms

2013-04-16

(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) -- A costly and widely used mammography add-on increases detection of noninvasive and early-stage invasive breast cancer but also makes more mistakes than mammography alone, researchers from UC Davis and the University of Washington have found. Published in the April 16 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine, the study of women enrolled in Medicare is the largest comparison of clinical outcomes of routine screening mammography with and without computer-assisted detection (CAD) -- software developed to enhance the detection of breast cancer during ...

College admission questions rarely identify criminal behavior

2013-04-16

AURORA, Colo. (April 16, 2013) – A new study shows that neither criminal background checks nor pre-admission screening questions accurately predict students likely to commit crime on college campuses. "In an effort to reduce campus crime, more than half of all American colleges ask applicants about their criminal histories or require criminal background checks," said study author Carol Runyan , Ph.D., MPH, and professor of epidemiology at the Colorado School of Public Health. "But there is no real evidence to show this reduces campus crime." Colleges across the U.S. ...
