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).

    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION 5 77 WEST JACKSON BOULEVARD CHICAGO, IL 60604-3590 REPLY TO THE ATTENTION OF: W-15J The Honorable Tim Walz Governor of Minnesota 130 State Capitol 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. St. Paul, Minnesota 55155-1611 Dear Governor Walz: The Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians (the Tribe) has applied to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for program authorization under sections 518, 303, and 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Approval of the application would allow the Tribe to adopt, review, and revise water quality standards pursuant to Section 303(c) of the CWA and to certify that discharges comply with those water quality standards pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA, for all surface waters within the Red Lake Reservation and on certain tribally held trust lands outside the Reservation. In accordance with Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) §131.8(c)(2)-(3), EPA is requesting comments from the State of Minnesota on the Tribe’s assertion of authority to regulate surface water quality on the lands described above. A copy of the complete application and supporting maps can be found online at: https://www.epa.gov/mn/red-lake-band-chippewa- indians-minnesota-application-treatment-state-water-quality-standards. In addition to this written notice, EPA will issue a public notice in the Bemidji Pioneer and the Red Lake Nation News. The public notice will notify interested parties of the request for comments and, at the request of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), will advise them to send comments on the Tribe’s assertion of authority to EPA rather than to the State of Minnesota.
