    DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Minority Voices: The Representational Roles of African American and Latino Legislators during State Legislative Deliberations By Renita Miller In this dissertation I systematically examine African-American and Latino legislator behavior in a legislative setting. The project specifically examines whether and how minority legislators represent and influence African American and Latino policy interests during the legislative process. I perform an analysis of minority legislator participation rates on bills and develop an original measure of substantive representation using patterns in legislative speech of state representatives’ language during committee hearings. I build on existing theory in the representation literature and offer new hypotheses for expanding the scope of how substantive representation is defined and investigated, namely through an empirical investigation of the link between deliberation and descriptive representation. Second, I collect an original data set and develop an original measure of substantive representation to test these hypotheses with participation rates and a linguistic frame based content analysis approach of minority and non-minority representatives’ language on bills for racial perspectives during state legislative committee hearings on several policy issue areas including, but not limited to education, healthcare, and immigration. Third, I offer a critical test of hypotheses to test whether African American and Latino representatives’ (1) participate more when the legislation is

    EWrNEADMINISTRA~ON MAILDISTRI5DTION August 29,2006 SEP~01 2006 The Honorable Gregg Abbott Attorney General SEP 0,62006 Office of the Attorney General P.O. Box 12548 BPIMIQMCOMMITTEE Austin, Texas 7871 l-2548 Re: Whether a municipality may prohibit registered sex offenders from living in certain locations within the municipality. Dear General Abbott: Please accept this letter as a request for an opinion from your office concerning whether a municipality may prohibit registered sex offenders Tom living in certain locations within the municipality. It has come to my attention that several municipalities in Texas Senate District 12 and in other cities across the state either have passed or are considering passing municipal ordinances that prohibit registered sex offenders Tom living within a specified distance tiom locations where children typically congregate, including day-care facilities, schools, public swimming pools, and parks and playgrounds. The State of Texas as authorized by statute currently collects certain personal information about sex offenders, including the location of,their residences, and imposes on persons convicted of certain sexual offenses certain conditions of community supervision or parole related to their residences and movement within certain areas. Chapter 62, Code of Criminal Procedure, establishes the sex offender registration program in this state and requires individuals convicted of or receiving a grant of deferred adjudication for certain sexual offenses to register under that chapter. Specifically, under Chapter 62 an individual required to register under that chapter must inform certain law enforcement agencies of the address of the individual’s intended residence and periodically verify the individual’s continued ,residence at that address.
