One of the men seated there assured me it was all right to join them, so ! took the middle seat on the side facing the front of the plane, with two gentlemen in business suits on either side of me. Across from me, die middle seat was empty. The aisle seat was occupied by a white-haired man wearing glasses and a business suit. The window seat was occupied by a young blonde woman wearing a red skin. Shortly after takeoff, one of my fellow passengers in the lounge area began a conversation with the others, and it became obvious they knew each other. The white-haired gentleman spoke for some time, and the conversation turned to the subject of the United States Senate race in Texas. 3850 W.

  • The Role of a Gendered Policy Agenda in Closing the Mayoral Ambition Gap
    Journal of Research on Women andJournal Gender of Research 81 on Women and Gender The role of a gendered policy agenda Volume 6, 81-93 © The Author(s) 2015, 2016 in closing the mayoral ambition gap: Reprints and Permission: email [email protected] Texas Digital Library: The case of Texas female city council members http://www.tdl.org Darlene Budd, Angelique Myers, and Thomas Longoria Abstract This study explores female city council member political ambition to run for mayor. Women who hold mayoral office are potentially more competitive for higher elected office at the state and federal level. This study is based on a survey sent to Texas city council members in cities over 30,000. Forty-one percent of respondents said they would most likely run for mayor at some point, and we do find a gender gap in ambition (50% of men and 36% of women). However, we find that women who advocated a gendered local government political agenda exhibited higher levels of political ambition compared women who do not, and the ambition gap is reduced significantly. This finding holds up, controlling for other factors suggested by the literature that are predictors of political ambition. Two of these other factors—age and personal support—also increase city council member mayoral ambition. The findings are dis- cussed in terms of strategies to increase female mayoral ambition. Keywords political science, women’s studies, sociology, political ambition, gender, local government he underrepresentation of women representation through education, leader- in the United States occurs at the ship training, and networking. However, the national, state, and local levels of barriers women face when considering run- Tgovernment.

You guide and govern everything with order and love. Please look upon this 83rd assembly of our State Senators and leaders and fill them with the spirit of Your wisdom. May their decisions indeed help to bring peace and well-being for all. Lord, give them insight to make choices that would strengthen and prosper our state, enhance the education and nurture of the young hearts and minds of our children, protect and care for those of all ages, especially those unable to do so for themselves. It is a foreboding responsibility. But with Your help they will be able to accomplish what is best for those who are dependent on them and in that fulfill Your will.
