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).

It is passed along as nothing more than a suggestion for the Kansas Democratic Party. If you are serious about retaining the governor’s office whenC the votes are counted on that cold, November night in 2010, you best twist the arm of the man occupying that chair or forget it. Period. Gov. Mark Parkinson took over the governor’s office when Gov. Kathleen Sebelius jumped ship to become a member of President Obama’s Cabinet. Parkinson was serving as lieutenant governor, joining the Sebelius ticket when she sought and won re-election to a second term. The state’s financial picture was in a mess when the call came from the president to then Gov. Sebelius to become Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary. The offer was the president’s way of thanking her for her early endorsement of his effort. Lt. Gov. Parkinson took the oath elevating him to the state’s top elective position and has won several accolades for his performance. He has said, time and again, that he would not be a candidate for the office. Gov. Parkinson is unique. He was a Republican for many years and changed par- ties when Gov. Sebelius convinced him to become her running mate. Of course this didn’t sit well with the Republican leadership, seeing one of their own walk away in the fashion he did.

  • Amanda Adkins Was One of Former Governor Sam
    Amanda Adkins was one of former Governor Sam Brownback’s closest advisors, calling him quote “an incredible governor.” Adkins supported Brownback’s tax handouts for big corporations paid for with major cuts to public school budgets. Now, our schools are struggling to pay for the safety precautions needed for students and teachers to safely return to the classroom. Adkins Was Appointed By Brownback To Be Head Of The Kansas Children’s Cabinet. “A former chairwoman of the Kansas Republican Party and longtime adviser to former Gov. Sam Brownback has entered the race to take on Democratic U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids next year. [...] Adkins chaired the state party from 2009 to 2013, overseeing the 2010 election when Republicans, with Brownback at the top of the ticket in the race for governor, won every federal and statewide office. She managed Brownback’s 2004 campaign for U.S. Senate and after he became governor he appointed Adkins to chair the Kansas Children’s Cabinet and Trust Fund, which oversees a variety of childhood programs.” [The Kansas City Star, 9/3/19] Adkins Was Endorsed By Sen. Brownback For GOP Party Chair. “Adkins, of Overland Park, was elected by GOP delegates without opposition to replace Kris Kobach, who stepped aside to prepare his 2010 campaign for secretary of state. She received a key endorsement from Sen. Sam Brownback, who is running for governor.” [New GOP Chair Stressed Winning, Topeka Capital-Journal, 2/1/09] Brownback Praised Adkins For Running His Successful Senate Re-Election Campaign. “Adkins has served on several congressional staffs, worked with the Heritage Foundation and managed Brownback’s last Senate campaign.
