    THE NORTON TTELEGRAMELEGRAM FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2009 OpinionOpinion PAGE 4 For starters, how about Brownback, Parkinson aution: What you are about to read is not, and we repeat, is not, an endorse- ment. It is passed along as nothing more than a suggestion for the Kansas Democratic Party. If you are serious about retaining the governor’s office whenC the votes are counted on that cold, November night in 2010, you best twist the arm of the man occupying that chair or forget it. Period. Gov. Mark Parkinson took over the governor’s office when Gov. Kathleen Sebelius jumped ship to become a member of President Obama’s Cabinet. Parkinson was serving as lieutenant governor, joining the Sebelius ticket when she sought and won re-election to a second term. The state’s financial picture was in a mess when the call came from the president to then Gov. Sebelius to become Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary. The offer was the president’s way of thanking her for her early endorsement of his effort. Lt. Gov. Parkinson took the oath elevating him to the state’s top elective position and has won several accolades for his performance. He has said, time and again, that he would not be a candidate for the office. Gov. Parkinson is unique. He was a Republican for many years and changed par- ties when Gov. Sebelius convinced him to become her running mate. Of course this didn’t sit well with the Republican leadership, seeing one of their own walk away in the fashion he did.

  • For Immediate Release January 4, 2007 Nicole Corcoran, Press Secretary 785.368.8500 Governor Requests Presidential Disaster Decl
    Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius - Press Release For Immediate Release Nicole Corcoran, Press Secretary January 4, 2007 785.368.8500 Governor requests Presidential Disaster Declaration for 44 Kansas counties affected by winter storms; Agriculture Declaration also requested Upon surveying storm damage in the affected areas of the state and meeting with local emergency management officials, Governor Kathleen Sebelius signed a letter to the White House late yesterday, requesting federal assistance to help Kansans recover from the effects of the winter storms that hit the state Dec. 28 through Dec. 31, 2006. The impacted area includes 44 counties. Sebelius was joined by Congressman Jerry Moran, Adjutant General Tod Bunting, Agriculture Secretary Adrian Polansky and Regional FEMA Director Dick Hainje during her visits to Colby, Ulysses and Satanta. “The impact of this storm has been tremendous and it is critical we receive federal support to help our state recover from the significant financial losses left behind.” said Sebelius. “We will be assessing the damages and financial impact the storm has taken once the critical needs have been addressed.” Governor Sebelius has also requested U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns to declare the same counties agricultural disaster areas to help minimize economic losses livestock producers affected by the storm. Sebelius is seeking the declaration in an effort to make livestock producers eligible for financial assistance, should it be made available by USDA. “There are 3.7 million head of cattle worth an estimated $3.4 billion in the 44 counties hardest hit by this winter storm,” Sebelius said. “Averting and recovering from widespread livestock casualties is important to our state’s economic stability and the well-being of our livestock producers.” The storm has made it temporarily impossible for some livestock owners to get feed to their cattle.

    IMMIGRATION POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES: POLARIZATION AND PARANOIA By ROBERT WINSTON SCHARR A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2017 © 2017 Robert Winston Scharr To my most loyal family and friends ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My study of Congress began close to a decade ago, when my advisor, Dr. Lawrence Dodd, instructed me on the inner workings of the institution. Dr. Dodd, together with Dr. Scot Schraufnagel, had begun a series of works linking legislative productivity to partisan polarization. Amidst the legislative gridlock of the time, I noticed an increasingly contentious discourse on immigration policy both within and outside the institution of Congress. Having lived abroad before, and having dealt with the realities of being a foreigner, and having befriended countless immigrants visiting my own country, I have always placed a high value on advocating a fair treatment of immigrants. Thus, I formed an interest in Congress passing reform that accommodates the millions of immigrants who contribute to American society, with, of course, the safeguards necessary to ensure the long-term viability of the U.S. immigration system. With this in mind, I began to explore why Congress was able to make progress with reform in previous eras, but unable to do so in the modern era. I found my first major clue in the historical DW-NOMINATE trends put forth by Keith Poole and Howard Rosenthal, which seek to measure ideology of individual members as well as the ideological distance between the two major parties.

  • 172 Kansas History “Doing What Needed to Get Done, When It Needed to Get Done”: a Conversation with Former Governor Bill Graves
    Governor William Preston Graves in the governor’s office in the 1990s. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 36 (Autumn 2013): 172–97 172 Kansas History “Doing What Needed to Get Done, When It Needed to Get Done”: A Conversation with Former Governor Bill Graves edited by Bob Beatty and Virgil W. Dean illiam Preston “Bill” Graves, born in Salina, Kansas, on January 9, 1953, served as the state’s forty-third chief executive from January 9, 1995, to January 13, 2003. Graves enjoyed impressive electoral success, winning all four of his statewide elections, and he can make a strong claim as Kansas’s most popular governor, as he won reelection in 1998 with a staggering 73 percent of the vote, the highest percentage in state history.1 Graves started his path to the governorship in 1980 from an unusual place, the office of the Kansas secretary Wof state, working for then secretary Jack Brier. When Brier left the job in 1986 to run for governor, Graves ran and won the race to be the state’s chief election officer, defeating state representative Judith C. “Judy” Runnels, a Topeka Democrat, 53.5 to 46.5 percent. He ran for reelection in 1990 and easily defeated Democratic challenger Ronald J. Dickens.2 In 1994 Graves prevailed in a crowded Republican gubernatorial primary, garnering 41 percent of the vote versus 28 percent for businessman Gene Bicknell and 23 percent for state senator Fred Kerr, his two strongest opponents. In the general election contest that year Graves defeated Democratic congressman Jim Slattery, 64 to 36 percent, and became the first secretary of state in Bob Beatty is a professor of political science at Washburn University and a political analyst and consultant for KSNT and KTKA television in Topeka.

  • Assembling, Amplifying, and Ascending Recent Trends Among Women in Congress, 1977–2006
    Assembling, Amplifying, and Ascending recent trends among women in congress, 1977–2006 The fourth wave of women to enter Congress–from 1977 to 2006– was by far the largest and most diverse group. These 134 women accounted for more than half (58 percent) of all the women who have served in the history of Congress. In the House, the women formed a Congresswomen’s Caucus (later called the Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues), to publicize legislative initiatives that were important to women. By honing their message and by cultivating political action groups to support female candidates, women became more powerful. Most important, as the numbers of Congresswomen increased and their legislative inter- ests expanded, women accrued the seniority and influence to advance into the ranks of leadership. Despite such achievements, women in Congress historically account for a only a small fraction—about 2 percent—of the approximately 12,000 individuals who have served in the U.S. Congress since 1789, although recent trends suggest that the presence of women in Congress will continue to increase. Based on gains principally in the House of Representatives, each of the 13 Congresses since 1981 has had a record number of women Members. (From left) Marilyn Lloyd, Tennessee; Martha Keys, Kansas; Patricia Schroeder, Colorado; Margaret Heckler, Massachusetts; Virginia Smith, Nebraska; Helen Meyner, New Jersey; and Marjorie Holt, Maryland, in 1978 in the Congresswomen’s Suite in the Capitol—now known as the Lindy Claiborne Boggs Congressional Reading Room. Schroeder and Heckler co-chaired the Congresswomen’s Caucus, which met here in its early years.
