What the 2018 midterm elections mean for ILMA members
By Mindy Long
I
n the 2018 midterm elections, Democrats captured the
House of Representatives for the first time since 2010,
picking up 40 seats as of press time. In the Senate,
Republicans retained their majority, picking up two seats
held by Democrats. These changes launched a new phase of
the Trump administration, shifted the balance of power and
altered the type of legislation that moves forward.
"With a Democratic House and Republican Senate, we'll
see gridlock. Neither side will be successful in advancing
their agenda," said Holly Alfano, president of ILMA. "With
a divided Congress, there won't be a lot of new legislation."
Mike Ogburn, corporate program manager for August
Mack Environmental Inc. and chairman of ILMA's SHERA
Committee, said that while there might be some compromise, he foresees a standstill. "Since the Democrats control
the House, whatever regulatory issues the Trump administration wants to get through will be blocked at every turn,
whether [the regulatory changes] are good or not," he said.

However, an impasse on Capitol Hill isn't necessarily negative. Frank H. Hamilton III, president of South Atlantic
Services Inc., said the lack of a clear-cut majority is good
news for business. "There wasn't a total shift to one party or
the other. There is still this semi-gridlock, and that means
that there probably aren't going to be any radical changes
one way or the other coming out of Washington."
In the first two years of the Trump administration, there
were good changes for business, and Hamilton said he
expects those to stay in place during the next two years.
"There was a decrease in regulation that needed to happen and more favorable tax positions. In general, there was
a more pro-business environment and attitude in Washington for the first two years. I don't think the next two years
in the rest of Trump's first term will be much different,"
Hamilton said.
Alfano expects the regulatory rollback to continue. "It has
simplified a lot of things for our members," she said.
