  • November 2, 2010
    November 2, 2010 The March 2010 elections included a special election for Justice of the Peace, Ward 3 (Blanchard District) to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Honorable James H. “Jim” Foshee. The May 2010 election included the run-off for the Justice of the Peace seat as well as three propositions from the Parish Commission. During the Fall 2010 election cycle, Louisiana had party primaries for its federal elections for U.S. Senate and U.S. Congress. These were “party specific” primaries where Democrats could only vote on the Democratic candidates and Republicans could only vote on the Republican candidates. Libertarian candidates also ran in a party specific primary in the August 2010 election. Any candidate filing as a “no party” or “other party” was eligible to run only in the general election in November 2010. The local and state elections were open primary elections where all candidates regardless of party appeared on the October 2010 ballot. The top two vote-getters in October, regardless of party affiliation, faced each other in the November general election; however, if a candidate received 50% of the vote plus one vote in October's election, there was not a run-off in the November general election. There was a special election for Lieutenant Governor in October and November 2010 due to the election of Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrieu as Mayor of New Orleans. There was also a special election for Louisiana House of Representatives, District #5 in the October 2010 primary election. There was no need for a run-off election for this office in the November general election.

  • Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation
    Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation A Thesis submitted to Southern Utah University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Professional Communication December 2018 By Bailee M. Bahr Southern Utah University Thesis Committee: Kevin Stein, PhD, Chair I certify that I have read and viewed this project and that, in my opinion, it is satisfactory in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Professional Communication. Repowered Feminist Analysis 1 Kevin Stein __________________________________ Kevin Stein, Ph.D., Capstone Chair Matthew Barton __________________________________ Matthew Barton, Ph.D., MAPC Graduate Director Abstract Repowered Feminist Analysis 2 This paper analyzes the television show Parks and Recreation in order to find principles of Foss and Foss’ (2009) characteristics of repowered feminism. This paper aims to discover if Leslie Knope represents a new form of feminism, what characteristics specifically that she represents, and if these qualities contribute to a freer, less oppressed Leslie Knope. The analysis examines three episodes of the show and uses feminist rhetorical criticism to analyze the findings. I found that repowered feminism applies both to a feminist’s concerns with feminist issues and the applicability of repowered feminism to all types of problem solving. Knope, whether focusing directly on feminist issues or on the various obstacles she faces while doing her job, is usually presented as more successful when she implements the characteristics of repowered feminism. Keywords: parks and recreation, repowered feminism, pop culture Acknowledgements A massive hug and kiss to my adorable husband who encouraged me to finish my thesis in spite of the plethora of excuses.
