    Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Jennifer E. Manning Information Research Specialist Colleen J. Shogan Deputy Director and Senior Specialist November 26, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30261 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Summary Ninety-four women currently serve in the 112th Congress: 77 in the House (53 Democrats and 24 Republicans) and 17 in the Senate (12 Democrats and 5 Republicans). Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

The report raises serious concerns about the Department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) which require a response from Department leadership. The report details a series of problems related to the legality of I&A operations, I&A’s relationships with other federal as well as state and local authorities, the allocation of resources and personnel, management and the internal climate at I&A, and accountability. We request that the Department provide the Congress an explanation of how it will address each of these issues, the extent to which the Department accepts and intends to implement the recommendations included in the report, and any additional reforms the Department may support.

  • Mcconnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117Th Congress
    For Immediate Release, Wednesday, February 3, 2021 Contacts: David Popp, Doug Andres Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn McConnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress Praises Senators Crapo and Tim Scott for their work on the Committee on Committees WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the 50-50 power-sharing agreement finalized earlier today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced the Senate Republican Conference Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress. Leader McConnell once again selected Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) to chair the Senate Republicans’ Committee on Committees, the panel responsible for committee assignments for the 117th Congress. This is the ninth consecutive Congress in which Senate leadership has asked Crapo to lead this important task among Senate Republicans. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) assisted in the committee selection process as he did in the previous three Congresses. “I want to thank Mike and Tim for their work. They have both earned the trust of our colleagues in the Republican Conference by effectively leading these important negotiations in years past and this year was no different. Their trust and experience was especially important as we enter a power-sharing agreement with Democrats and prepare for equal representation on committees,” McConnell said. “I am very grateful for their work.” “I appreciate Leader McConnell’s continued trust in having me lead the important work of the Committee on Committees,” said Senator Crapo. “Americans elected an evenly-split Senate, and working together to achieve policy solutions will be critical in continuing to advance meaningful legislation impacting all Americans. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit our nation, our economy was the strongest it has ever been.

  • Sen. Cory Gardner
    COVERING FOR CORRUPTION PART THREE: SEN. CORY GARDNER A SPECIAL REPORT FROM THE CONGRESSIONAL INTEGRITY PROJECT Ensuring that public officials are working in the public interest is one of Congress’s most important responsibilities. But year after year, some lawmakers get it backwards: They attempt to distract the public from real corruption while they use their positions to enrich themselves and those close to them. Sen. Cory Gardner (R) of Colorado has a history of taking policy positions that benefit his wife’s business interests as a consultant and advocate for fossil fuels—and by extension, his family’s bottom line. This report, part three of our “Covering for Corruption” series, details how Sen. Gardner’s official actions overlap with entities Jaime Gardner has worked for or represented. For years, the Gardners have skirted ethics rules so that Jaime can profit off of fossil fuels while Cory boosts those same industries through official actions. While we do not know exactly how much the Gardners have profited from this arrangement, it reeks of the self-dealing that Washington insiders love but voters despise. And while his family profits, Cory Gardner uses his public platform to moralize against self-dealing. Gardner should come clean to his constituents about his intermingled public and private interests by disclosing his wife’s client lists and any overlap with industries that have business in front of the legislatives bodies he’s served in. We can’t force Gardner to act with integrity. But we can expose his record to stop him from misleading and manipulating voters.

  • District Policy Group Provides Top-Line Outcomes and Insight, with Emphasis on Health Care Policy and Appropriations, Regarding Tuesday’S Midterm Elections
    District Policy Group provides top-line outcomes and insight, with emphasis on health care policy and appropriations, regarding Tuesday’s midterm elections. Election Outcome and Impact on Outlook for 114th Congress: With the conclusion of Tuesday’s midterm elections, we have officially entered that Lame Duck period of time between the end of one Congress and the start of another. Yesterday’s results brought with them outcomes that were both surprising and those that were long-anticipated. For the next two years, the House and Senate will be controlled by the Republicans. However, regardless of the predictions that pundits made, the votes are in, Members of the 114th Congress (2015-2016) have been determined, and we can now begin to speculate about what these changes will mean for business interests and advocacy organizations. Even though we now have a Republican majority in Congress, for the next two years, President Obama remains resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Although President Obama will be a Lame Duck President, he still has issues and priority policies he wishes to pursue. Many other Lame Duck presidents have faced Congresses controlled by the opposite party and how a President responds to the challenge often can determine his legacy. Given the total number of Republican pick-ups in the House and Senate, we anticipate the GOP will feel emboldened to pursue its top policy priorities; as such, we do not suspect that collaboration and bipartisanship will suddenly arrive at the Capitol. We anticipate the Democrats will work hard to try to keep their caucus together, but this may prove challenging for Senate Minority Leader Reid, especially with the moderate Democrats and Independents possibly deciding to ally with the GOP.
