# Analysis of the 2018 Midterm Elections

  November 9, 2018

 

 

 

 

 

 

**Results and Policy Implications**

The results of Tuesday’s election will bring sweeping changes to Washington, D.C. To help you evaluate these changes and understand their potential implications on your business practices, Kelley Drye’s Government Relations & Public Policy Practice has prepared the attached ​“Analysis of the 2018 Midterm Elections.”

Designed to serve as a comprehensive review of the election results, this overview also looks ahead to the 116th Congress and discusses the potential impact that Democratic control of the U.S. House of Representatives will have on the policy landscape. Additionally, the overview provides a substantive analysis of key issue areas, including the economy, taxes, financial services, trade, energy and environment, transportation and infrastructure, national security and defense, health care, agriculture, communications, privacy, budget and appropriations, and oversight.
