  • Xavier Becerra 1958–
    H CURRENT HISPANIC-AMERICAN MEMBERS H Xavier Becerra 1958– UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE 1993– DEMOCRAT FROM CALIFORNIA Xavier Becerra had barely completed one term in the California state assembly when he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1992. During his career in Washington, Becerra has emerged as a Democratic leader, becoming the first Latino in the history of the House to sit on the powerful Ways and Means Committee and being elected twice by his colleagues to serve as the Image courtesy of the Member Vice Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. Xavier Becerra was born in Sacramento, California, on January 26, 1958, the third of four children to working-class parents Maria Teresa and Manuel Becerra. He majored in economics and graduated in 1980 from Stanford University, near Palo Alto, California, becoming the first member of his family to earn a bachelor’s degree.1 He stayed on at Stanford, earning a law degree in 1984, before working as an aide to a California state senator and then becoming a California deputy attorney general. After Becerra moved to Los Angeles, community leaders encouraged him to run for the state assembly in 1990.2 Becerra was young and relatively unknown, and his victory that year galvanized a new generation of Latino politicians.3 Before the expiration of Becerra’s first term in the state assembly, venerable Los Angeles Democrat Edward R. Roybal retired from the U.S. House. California had just redrawn its congressional districts, shifting the border of Roybal’s 30th District westward from East Los Angeles to Hollywood.

He has served on the Ways and Means Committee since 2007. He was a key Democratic supporter of the 2008 bailout of the financial services industry -- loudly berating Republicans on the House floor as an initial bailout bill went down to defeat -- as well as subsequent help for the automobile industry. In addition to his post as caucus vice chairman -- the fifth-ranking post in the Democratic leadership -- Crowley is also a finance chairman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the political arm of House Democrats, and serves on the Steering and Policy Committee. He has a garrulous personality to match his burly, 6-foot-4 frame. He's been known to break into song and is generally well-liked by friend and foe alike. Crowley has been a solid supporter of Democratic Party positions, as illustrated by the ratings he has received from organizations on opposite ends of the political spectrum: A lifetime score of 90 percent-plus from the liberal Americans for Democratic Action and 8 percent, through 2012, from the American Conservative Union He favors abortion rights, gun control and same-sex marriage.

  • Moderate House Democrats Stand with Governor Lamont in Opposing Tax Increases
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rep. Kerry Wood (Cell 203-520-1794) May 19, 2021 Rep. Pat Boyd (Cell 860-208-5531) Moderate House Democrats Stand with Governor Lamont in Opposing Tax Increases HARTFORD – Moderate House Democrats (“The Blue Dogs”) applaud Governor Lamont’s stance on No Tax Increases for the current biennial budget. The State oF Connecticut should take advantage oF higher than expected consensus revenue, a health rainy day Fund, and its strong Financial position to pass a budget that does not include tax increases. Our state has a unique opportunity to leverage Federal Funding and make the types oF targeted investments that our economy needs. With a commitment towards reinvesting in our local and state economy, we are on a path to prosperity. “I oppose any new taxes on the residents oF Connecticut. I am concerned about double taxation between New York and Connecticut and will be working towards a resolution. We have more than suFFicient Funds to address our needs.” said Rep. Stephen Meskers “Generating more money than we can spend is unnecessary and irresponsible when people have lost their jobs or been Furloughed because oF the pandemic.” said Rep. Chris Ziogas. “We don’t need these drastic tax increases at this time.” Worrisome components in the original revenue plan include an additional capital gains tax, a digital media tax, a 10% surcharge on corporations, double taxation For workers that commute to other states, and a new consumption tax. Several Moderate Democrats voted no on the Finance, Revenue, and Bonding Committee's budget. “With Fiscally sound budgeting practices, the state has positioned itselF with an unprecedented $3.5B rainy-day Fund,” said Rep.

  • The Last White Election?
    mike davis THE LAST WHITE ELECTION? ast september, while Bill Clinton was delighting the 2012 Democratic Convention in Charlotte with his folksy jibe at Mitt Romney for wanting to ‘double up on the trickle down’, a fanatical adherent of Ludwig von Mises, wearing a villainous Lblack cowboy hat and accompanied by a gun-toting bodyguard, captured the national headquarters of the Tea Party movement in Washington, dc. The Jack Palance double in the Stetson was Dick Armey. As House Majority Leader in 1997 he had participated in a botched plot, instigated by Republican Whip Tom DeLay and an obscure Ohio Congressman named John Boehner, to topple House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Now Armey was attempting to wrest total control of FreedomWorks, the organization most responsible for repackaging rank-and-file Republican rage as the ‘Tea Party rebellion’ as well as training and coordinating its activists.1 Tea Party Patriots—a national network with several hundred affiliates—is one of its direct offshoots. As FreedomWorks’ chairperson, Armey symbolized an ideological continuity between the Republican con- gressional landslides of 1994 and 2010, the old ‘Contract with America’ and the new ‘Contract from America’. No one was better credentialed to inflict mortal damage on the myth of conservative solidarity. Only in December did the lurid details of the coup leak to the press. According to the Washington Post, ‘the gun-wielding assistant escorted FreedomWorks’ top two employees off the premises, while Armey sus- pended several others who broke down in sobs at the news.’2 The chief target was Matt Kibbe, the organization’s president and co-author with Armey of the best-selling Give Us Liberty: A Tea Party Manifesto.

  • Recommendations for Updating the House Democratic Caucus Rules 117Th Congress
    Recommendations for Updating the House Democratic Caucus Rules 117th Congress The House Democratic Caucus rules provide the framework for how Democrats in the House of Representatives organize their Caucus. The rules address how they choose their leaders and committee members, identify their priorities, and express their values. Until very recently, the Caucus rules were secret and even some Members of Congress had trouble obtaining access to them. Today, the rules for the 116th Democratic Caucus can be found on the Caucus’s website, providing Members and the general public with increased transparency about aspects of the Caucus’s operations. With this new transparency, there are additional opportunities for the rules to further communicate Democratic values and shape the Caucus’s operations. Caucus rules should reflect the values of the Members and the voters who elected them. To this end, Demand Progress has compiled a set of “low-hanging fruit” recommendations, broken into six sections, focused on making the Caucus more equitable, transparent, and democratic. Principles ● Americans everywhere should be able to know about and participate in the lawmaking process, and its outcomes should be an expression of their values. ● The Democratic Caucus should ensure that all Democratic Members of the House of Representatives have an opportunity to participate in the lawmaking process and make their voices heard and their votes count. ● Transparency is essential to running an open, accountable, representative government. ● Members of the Democratic Caucus should be held to the highest ethical standards. ● Congressional employees should reflect America’s diversity, be paid a living wage, and enjoy good working conditions.

  • Caucus and Conference: Party Organization in the U.S. House of Representatives
    Caucus and Conference: Party Organization in the U.S. House of Representatives by Ronald M. Peters, Jr. Department of Political Science and Carl Albert Congressional Research and Studies Center University of Oklahoma Prepared for delivery at the annual meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association, Chicago, Illinois April 25-28, 2002 Abstract The House Democratic Caucus and the House Republican Conference have witnessed both similarities and differences over the course of their respective histories. This paper traces the evolution of the two party organizations and examines their current operation. It is concluded that today they differ from each other in fundamental respects. The Democratic Caucus is a discussion forum. It is coalitional and internal in its focus. The Republican Conference is a public relations firm. It is ideological and external in its focus. Both party caucuses are affected by contextual variables. These include majority/minority status and party control of the White House. The most important factor shaping the two party organizations is party culture, which is shaped by each legislative party's previous history and by the two parties' respective constituency base. This examination of the two party caucuses has implications for theory. On the one hand, similarities in the pattern of meetings, participation by members, and occasional sponsorship of retreats and task forces lend credence to positive theories that seek nomothetic explanations of congressional behavior. On the other hand, the evident differences in the day-to-day operation of the two party organizations, the functions that these organizations perform, and the relationship in which they stand to the party leadership, suggest that any explanation will have to take into account inter-party variation.
