Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

Foreign-born students help create jobs for Tennessee and often provide the technological innovations that help drive economic growth. Many will serve as the next generation of entrepreneurs, scientists, and leaders in our state. A recent study by the Partnership for a New American Economy and the American Enterprise Institute found that for every 100 foreign-born graduates from a U.S. Master’s or PhD program who stay in America working in a STEM field, 262 additional jobs are created for American workers. In Tennessee, that can translate into a significant new growth -- since our share of foreign-born advance STEM degree holders working in STEM fields grew by 85 percent between 2000 and 2010.

  • New Training for Community Health Workers
    Tulane University New Training for Community Health Workers January 28, 2011 3:30 AM Keith Brannon [email protected] When it comes to staying healthy, sometimes check-ins are as important as checkups. That's the philosophy behind a new Tulane University School of Medicine program that aims to train community health workers to provide health education and act as liaisons between patients and their doctors or social services providers. Outreach to New Orleans patients such as George McClain, left, receiving diabetes treatment at a Tulane mobile clinic, will be increased by the training of community health workers. (Photo by Paula Burch-Celentano) These advocates check in with patients to make sure they're following doctors' orders and properly taking their medications, for example, and can even help them access social services to address any barriers to keeping themselves healthy. Using a $250,000 federal grant, Tulane is partnering with RAND Corp. to start the Tulane RAND Community Health Worker Training Institute. It will offer residents who have at least a high school diploma a formal, 120-hour training course in health outreach, patient care coordination and health advocacy. A pilot class begins Feb. 1, says Ashley Wennerstrom, senior program manager for the Tulane Office of Community Affairs and Health Policy. “Trained community health workers are important, and often underutilized, members of healthcare teams. They provide education, link hard-to-reach populations with health and social services, and advocate for individual and community health needs,” Wennerstrom says. “The institute fills a vital Tulane University | New Orleans | 504-865-5210 | [email protected] Tulane University niche in our region by supporting critical workforce development for community health workers while increasing knowledge and research about how they can contain healthcare costs, improve public health and increase post-disaster community resilience.” The grant was funded by legislation sponsored by U.S.

  • 114TH CONGRESS / First Session Available at Frcaction.Org/Scorecard
    FRC ACTION VOTE SCORECARD 114TH CONGRESS / First Session Available at FRCAction.org/scorecard U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate Dear Voter and Friend of the Family, FRC Action presents our Vote Scorecard for the First Session of the 114th Congress. This online Scorecard contains a compilation of significant votes on federal legislation affecting faith, family, and freedom that FRC Action either supported or opposed. These recorded votes span the 2015 calendar year and include the greatest number of pro-life votes in history, after the U.S. House increased its Republican membership and the U.S. Senate was returned to Republican control. The year began with a bipartisan effort in the House to prohibit federal funds from being used to pay for abortion coverage under Obamacare. Congress successfully fought to restrict FDA approval of some forms of embryo-destructive research. The House, once again, passed legislation that would prevent late abortions on 5 month old pain-capable unborn children, and although the Senate was unable to pass the bill due to the 60 vote threshold, for the first time, a majority of Senators voted in favor of the bill. The public release of videos revealing Planned Parenthood’s organ harvesting practices renewed efforts to defund this scandal-ridden organization and redirect funding towards community health centers. In an unprecedented victory, the House and Senate passed a budget reconciliation bill, the Restoring Ameri- cans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act, which would have eliminated a significant portion of Planned Parenthood’s funding—roughly 80%— and repealed key provisions of Obamacare.

  • Letter from State-Level Elected Leaders in All 50 States Supporting Betsy Devos for Secretary of Education
    LETTER FROM STATE-LEVEL ELECTED LEADERS IN ALL 50 STATES SUPPORTING BETSY DEVOS FOR SECRETARY OF EDUCATION January 17, 2017 The Honorable Lamar Alexander Chairman U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions 428 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Chairman Alexander, As one of the most critical issues impacting the future of our nation, we must have a Secretary of Education committed to the needs of all of our nation’s children. Betsy DeVos has made it her life’s mission to find, support and push for education solutions in her home state of Michigan and across the country. She is an advocate and ally for all children, and we write to you today to express our support for her nomination to this important position as her confirmation hearing approaches. We represent elected state offices from all 50 states, and as such, we each know the impact of an overgrown federal government reaching into the states to push a one-size-fits all approach to education. No two states, localities or school districts are the same, nor are the needs of the children who reside there. Betsy DeVos understands this distinction and for years has embraced a variety of education solutions to meet this need. Her support for an all-of-the-above approach to K-12 education – from charter schools, to public, private and online education – defines the school choice movement that has helped countless children across many of our states. By advancing these innovative solutions from the Department of Education, Betsy DeVos will put children first and empower not only states to lead the way in making critical education decisions, but also empower parents to choose what type of education is best for their children.

  • Breaking New Ground Phoenix Children’S New Emergency Department and Trauma Center and Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders LETTER from STEVE
    FALL 2017 PHOENIX CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION Breaking New Ground Phoenix Children’s new Emergency Department and Trauma Center and Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders LETTER FROM STEVE Dear Friends: We have so many milestones to celebrate as 2017 comes to a close. This fall, Phoenix Children’s Hospital opened the doors of its new Emergency Department and Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center, as well as its new Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. Both are state-of-the-art facilities with the space, resources and systems to provide more children in need with the best possible care. These centers are so much more than the sum of their parts. They are the new homes of two of Phoenix Children’s nationally recognized programs. They are the homes away from home for the thousands of children who are already receiving the best emergency care and cancer treatment available in Arizona. And they represent another step forward on our journey to becoming a world-class, destination hospital — for Arizona, the Southwest and the entire nation. These milestones simply would not have been possible without your incredible generosity. Not only have you helped Phoenix Children’s up its game for children, over the past 12 months you have gone above and beyond for so many of the programs that our patients rely on — programs that exist because of your philanthropy.
