Yeates Dear Members, The past year at the Society has been an extremely productive and memorable one. I leave the presidency with a new appreciation for the scope and impact of our programs and for the people who make them successful. In my final message to the membership, I would like to offer a brief summary of these initiatives and thank some of those who have devoted time and energy to moving them forward over the past year. • Journal In its fourth year of publication, the Society’s e-journal continued to flourish under the leadership of Lynne Liberato and the executive team, David Furlow, Dylan Drummond, Marilyn Duncan, and David Kroll. Not only does each issue offer a treasure trove of scholarly articles, but the special features on Society events, including great photos, add even more color and interest. Each issue seems better than the previous one, and yet looking back, all four issues published in this volume year are equally remarkable. My hat goes off to the entire team. • Symposium The second biannual Society-sponsored symposium on the history of Texas jurisprudence was held in May, and all of us who attended were treated to a fascinating and varied day of panel discussions and paper presentations (see the story on p. 108). As was the case two years ago, the symposium was the brainchild of Lynne Liberato and Richard Orsinger, with essential support from Warren Harris and Pat Nester. This is exactly the kind of program the Society was established to sponsor, and I know I am not the only board member who appreciates both the quality of the program and the efforts of those who made it happen.

  • The Role of a Gendered Policy Agenda in Closing the Mayoral Ambition Gap
    Journal of Research on Women andJournal Gender of Research 81 on Women and Gender The role of a gendered policy agenda Volume 6, 81-93 © The Author(s) 2015, 2016 in closing the mayoral ambition gap: Reprints and Permission: email [email protected] Texas Digital Library: The case of Texas female city council members http://www.tdl.org Darlene Budd, Angelique Myers, and Thomas Longoria Abstract This study explores female city council member political ambition to run for mayor. Women who hold mayoral office are potentially more competitive for higher elected office at the state and federal level. This study is based on a survey sent to Texas city council members in cities over 30,000. Forty-one percent of respondents said they would most likely run for mayor at some point, and we do find a gender gap in ambition (50% of men and 36% of women). However, we find that women who advocated a gendered local government political agenda exhibited higher levels of political ambition compared women who do not, and the ambition gap is reduced significantly. This finding holds up, controlling for other factors suggested by the literature that are predictors of political ambition. Two of these other factors—age and personal support—also increase city council member mayoral ambition. The findings are dis- cussed in terms of strategies to increase female mayoral ambition. Keywords political science, women’s studies, sociology, political ambition, gender, local government he underrepresentation of women representation through education, leader- in the United States occurs at the ship training, and networking.

The defend- ers at the Alamo were under fire from Santa Anna, and Texas still had not officially declared independence from Mexico. When delegates to the first Consultation met in November 1835, they had a decision to make. Should they support Texas remaining a part of Mexico and continue to work on restoring the state’s rights granted in the Constitution of 1824? Or should they seek independence? They called a second meeting of the Consultation on March 1, 1836, hoping that events would help them make their decision.
