    Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Jennifer E. Manning Information Research Specialist Colleen J. Shogan Deputy Director and Senior Specialist November 26, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30261 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Summary Ninety-four women currently serve in the 112th Congress: 77 in the House (53 Democrats and 24 Republicans) and 17 in the Senate (12 Democrats and 5 Republicans). 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).

  • 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.

    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2010 Remarks at a Fundraiser for Governor Theodore Strickland in Columbus, Ohio August 18, 2010 Thank you, everybody! Thank you, Ohio! Please, have a seat. Have a seat. Thank you so much. It is great to be here. There are a couple of people I want to make sure to acknowledge. They may have already been acknowledged, but not by me. So I'm going to acknowledge them because they are doing outstanding work: First of all, the mayor of the great city of Columbus, Michael Coleman; a champion of working families not just in Ohio, but all across the country, Senator Sherrod Brown; a wonderful Member of Congress who's fighting day in, day out, Mary Jo Kilroy is here; and although he is not on the list, he's down a little south from here but he's here, I saw him, so I want to acknowledge him because he is just an outstanding, outstanding young Member of Congress, Steve Driehaus is in the house. There he is. Lieutenant Governor and soon to be Senator, Lee Fisher is here. Attorney General Rich Cordray is here. Treasurer Kevin Boyce is in the house. And candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Yvette McGee Brown is here. It is good to be back in Ohio. And it is good to be among such good friends, because as I look out over the audience, I know so many of you worked so hard on behalf of our campaign. You were there when we were up; you were there when we were down.

  • Brown Introduces Bill to Repeal 'Cadillac Tax'
    Brown introduces bill to repeal ‘Cadillac Tax’ Efforts to repeal the 40 percent excise tax on employer-sponsored health coverage (sometimes referred to as the “Cadillac tax”) recently received a big boost as the Senate introduced two bills to repeal the controversial tax that will impact many counties when it goes into effect in 2018. S. 2075, the American Worker Health Care Tax Relief Act of 2015 – Introduced by Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, S. 2075 repeals the tax but includes a non-binding “Sense of the Senate” clause demanding that any repeal include an offset. S. 2045, the Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2015 is bipartisan legislation to repeal the excise tax. Previously, on the House side two bills were introduced: H.R. 2050, the Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act, which is co-sponsored by Ohio Reps. Joyce Beatty, Marcia Fudge, David Joyce, Marcy Kaptur and Tim Ryan, and H.R. 879, Ax the Tax on Middle Class Americans, which is co-sponsored by Ohio Reps. Steve Chabot, Bob Gibbs, Bill Johnson, David Joyce, Steve Stivers, Pat Tiberi and Brad Wenstrup. Together, the two House bills have more than 240 co-sponsors. NACo/CCAO supports all legislative efforts to repeal the excise tax on employer-sponsored health coverage, and encourages county officials to contact their congressional representatives to urge them to do the same. The tax, a provision in the 2010 Affordable Care Act, will impose a 40 percent excise tax on the amount of employer-sponsored coverage that exceeds statutorily established thresholds. It applies to all employers, public and private, and is projected to significantly impact the health coverage provided to employees as employers implement changes to avoid the excise tax in 2018 and beyond.

  • In Victory Speech, Dewine Calls for Ohioans to Unite to Solve Problems
    Vol. 132 - No. 466 Tuesday, November 6, 2018 In Victory Speech, DeWine Calls For Ohioans to Unite to Solve Problems The people of Ohio need to work together to address the state's issues regardless of party affiliation, Gov.-elect Mike DeWine said following his victory over Democrat Richard Cordray Tuesday night. "As we begin this journey tonight, we must work not as Democrats, not as Republicans, but as Ohioans," DeWine told supporters at the Ohio Republican Party's election night party in Columbus. "Ohioans should unite around a shared mission to ensure that every single person in this state - every child, no matter where they're born, no matter who their parents are, no matter what their circumstances -- has the opportunity to live up to their God-given potential. ... "As governor, it will be my responsibility, and a responsibility that I take very seriously, to pull people together -- Democrats, Republicans and Independents -- for our common cause, because Ohio's challenges ... are not solvable just by one party," DeWine continued. "Our fundamental beliefs and core values as Ohioans, what we share together truly transcends party politics." DeWine, the current attorney general, ended up winning the governor's race with 50.66 percent of the vote, beating Cordray's 46.44 percent, according to unofficial results. Libertarian Party candidate Travis Irvine finished with 1.79 percent, while Green Party candidate Constance Gadell-Newton received 1.1 percent. DeWine said his next administration will work to improve the state's schools, address drug addiction and create jobs. "Come with us as we make Ohio's schools the best in the nation.
