As such, the public wants to know that their elected officials are held accountable and cannot disregard enshrined legal rights without incurring broader personal and societal consequences. Within the hallowed halls of government, the “unrequested” House Committee on Ethics (HCE) provides the forum of accountability. In this qualitative, historical case study, HCE documents are analyzed and both the internal and external motivating factors behind the actions of the HCE members are examined. Computer assisted qualitative data analysis software, namely ATLAS.ti, was used to look at the procedural efficiency (or lack thereof) of the HCE as a natural consequence of the committee members’ implicit public policy actions. The qualitative study sample consisted of the entire population of official public HCE investigative reports from 1967-2012. The unit of analysis was an individual HCE investigative report. This dissertation finds that a partisan political agenda exists within the only impartial Committee in Congress. The majority of the ethical allegations raised against House Members involve financial disclosure while moral and/or character failures are less often reported. Furthermore, the dissertation finds a lack of moral courage both from House members as well as the Committee in that ethics on Capitol Hill is equated to following the letter, and not the spirit, of the law. iii Additionally, the dissertation finds that it is the media and the public who exert pressure on the House Committee to discipline the unethical behaviour of members since it demands accountability from its leaders. Failing to live up to the mandate it has been given leaves the HCE as an organization with little ethical will or moral courage. Due to the lack of prior research on this Committee, the approach to this dissertation is largely exploratory and explanatory; and hence is inductive. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Authors are given full credit (and most of the blame) for their work, which is true in the present case as well. However, credit for this dissertation has to be spread broadly among the various groups who helped ensure its fruition. Everything in life is God-ordained, and I want to thank Him for opening this door for me. The journey has been long and arduous, but it all fits into His plan and timing even though I must have questioned, protested, and rebelled against it a thousand times. I’m excited to see where the road leads to next. This dissertation is the culmination of intellectual exchange and a great deal of discussion with numerous faculty, staff, and students who supported me at UNLV. While there were many who helped me along the way (thanks guys!), I want to specifically thank a couple of individuals who shared (endured?!) the majority of this long and lonely process with me. Without committee members, no student can climb this mountain; therefore my first expression of gratitude has to be for my advisor, Dr. Chris Stream, for his input as well as the many lunches at Einstein’s! I will be forever grateful for his commitment to me and this study. My deep appreciation goes out to Drs. Damore and Gray who provided encouragement and insightful commentary throughout this process. It is not often that a committee member literally welcomes a student on “day one” at the airport, but Dr. Pat Carlton can claim that “honour”. He has been a wonderful committee member and friend and an even better Rotarian and Foundation mentor. The colleagues and friends at the Graduate and Professional Student Association have served me more than I have served them. Specifically, without the many v conversations, encouragements, and cups of coffee with Becky Boulton and Sharon Young, this dream would have remained an illusion. Deborah Obara must be a great poker player. Her wonderful smile and demeanour never changed whenever I shared (unrealistic) timelines and excuses. She pushed and prodded when it was uncomfortable, but knew how to get the job done. If dissertations were movies, this would be called “An Obara Production.” None of my accomplishments would have been possible without the strong love and support from my family and friends. To adequately thank my parents, George and Ina Gordon, for providing a safe and moral upbringing, patiently enduring my inquisitiveness and instilling the love of reading would likely add a second volume to this dissertation. Franci van Zyl-Nel was the first one who believed that my dream was possible. Her insights, love, and kind (but earnest) criticisms have shaped the person I am today. Next, to Tom and Karen Whisenhunt, thank you so much for taking me in and supporting me during one of the most challenging (and exciting) times in my life. Your generous support, numerous meals, and words of encouragement over the course of my graduate career at UNLV have truly made this a home away from home. My biggest debt is owed to my wonderful fiancée, Amanda, who is probably the most ethical person I know. She politely endured many hours of discussion about politics, ethics, and Congress, which must have felt like an eternity to her. Without her guidance, advice, and input, I would still be the hare in the woods trying to finish the race. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ..................................................................................................................... iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ................................................................................................ v LIST OF TABLES ........................................................................................................... ix LIST OF FIGURES .......................................................................................................... x CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION .................................................................................... 1 Statement of Problem .................................................................................................. 4 Purpose and Scope of the Study .................................................................................. 5 Research Question ........................................................................................................ 8 Summary of Chapters ................................................................................................. 8 CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE ........................................................ 11 Member of Congress ..................................................................................................

  • 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.

J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea. 'The term "aoft money" as ueed in this Complaint means funds,that would not be lawful for use in connection with any federal election (e.g., corporate or labor organization treasury funds, contributions in excess of the relevant contribution limit for federal elections). THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

  • An Overview of My Internship with Congressman David Skaggs and How This Set a Course for My Career in Political Campaigning
    Erin Ainsworth Fish Summer 2016 Independent Study Course An overview of my internship with Congressman David Skaggs and how this set a course for my career in political campaigning. By my senior year at CU I had changed my major twice and had gone from dreaming of a career as a journalist and traveling the world working for National Geographic, to serving in the Peace Corp and teaching English in West Africa. I was all over the map as far as picking out a career for myself and couldn’t hone in on one area of interest. I excelled in foreign languages and history but there didn’t seem to be a job which I could envision in those areas and my father wasn’t too subtle about what he’d like me to pursue by sending me articles on beginning salaries for lawyers. He was a maritime lawyer and felt that the law was a perfect career. I had settled on a major in Political Science as I had always been interested in government and my mother was particularly active in local politics. She had a heavy influence on my knowledge of current affairs and our dinner conversations were about the war in Iran and the Ayatollah Khomeini, the Civil Rights movement which she was passionate about, or we’d discuss the Kennedy assassinations and what that meant to her generation. Politics and American Government felt familiar to me and it seemed like a natural progression to major in political science. However I knew I didn’t want to pursue a career in the law and yet nothing stood out as an “aha!” job for me and with that came a constant level of anxiety.
