  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • Baltimore Voters Back Proposed $15/Hour Law
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 22, 2016 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Marylanders Want Legislature to Go Further on Minimum Wage; Baltimore Voters Back Proposed $15/Hour Law Raleigh, N.C. – Despite Maryland being one of the first states in the nation to increase its minimum wage to over $10/hour just two years ago, voters in the state are ready for another raise. A 58% majority favors increasing the state minimum wage – which is currently set to peak at $10.10 per hour by 2018 – to either $12/hour or $15/hour. 73% of Democrats and 57% of independents support the raise, and 60% of Republicans either agree with an additional boost or are in favor of the $10/hour plan signed into law by former Democratic Governor and Presidential candidate Martin O’Malley. Support for a second raise is most fervent among voters in Baltimore, where the City Council is expected to vote on a proposed citywide wage increase to $15/hour this month. 57% of Baltimoreans favor joining cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Seattle in increasing the city wage floor to $15/hour, while 79% back an increase to either $12/hour or $15/hour. When it comes to other major national issues, Maryland is consistent with its label as one of the most liberal states in the country. 75% of Marylanders support the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan for regulating emissions from power plants, including 86% of Democrats and 56% of Republicans.

    Exhibit 99.2 NEWS RELEASE CONTACT: Bob Aronson Vice President, Investor Relations 800-579-2302 ([email protected]) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STAGE STORES COMPLETES THE ACQUISITION OF B.C. MOORE & SONS, INC. HOUSTON, TX, February 27, 2006 - Stage Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq: STGS) today reported that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of privately held B.C. Moore & Sons, Inc. (“B.C. Moore”). In purchasing B.C.

Jim Scarborough, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stage, commented, “We are pleased to have completed this acquisition so quickly, and we enthusiastically look forward to entering these new markets with our Peebles store format. Our new customers in these markets will enjoy our exceptional service, exciting brand names, merchandise selections, and value in easy-to-shop and conveniently located stores.” Stage Stores, Inc. brings nationally recognized brand name apparel, accessories, cosmetics and footwear for the entire family to small and mid-size towns and communities.
