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.

  • Katie Hall Gary, Lake County April 3, 1938 – February 20, 2012
    Katie Hall Gary, Lake County April 3, 1938 – February 20, 2012 On April 3, 1938, Katie Hall was born in Mississippi. She received a bachelor’s degree from Mississippi Valley State University and a master’s degree from Indiana University in Bloomington in 1968. She then taught social studies in Gary, Indiana. Hall was elected to the Indiana state house of representatives in 1974. She then was elected to the state senate, where she served from 1976 until 1982. In September of 1982, the Indiana Representative for the 1st U.S. District died while running for re-election. After a contentious process, she became the Democratic nominee for the November election and then became the first African-American woman from Indiana to serve in the U.S. Congress after winning the general election. Among her chief accomplishments was introducing a bill to make Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday a national holiday. Since King’s assassination in 1968, similar measures had been introduced, but all had failed. The primary argument against these bills was the large cost to the federal government because the previous bills had designated a fixed date of King’s January 15th birthday. In July 1983, she introduced a bill that designated the third Monday in January to prevent government offices from having to open twice in one week and thereby saving money. On August 2, 1983, the bill passed the House and on November 2, 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed it into law. During her 1984 bid for re–election, Hall lost the Democratic nomination to Pete Visclosky during the May Primary.

HOWEY INDIANAPOLIS – There couldn’t be a more emphatic contrast when it comes to major party chairs Kyle Hupfer of the Re- publicans and John Zody of the Democrats. Hupfer is essentially undefeated in statewide races and federal seats beyond the 1st and 7th CDs. Zody has been shut out, save for three Indiana House seats and a Senate pickup this cycle, coming after a GOP shakeup in 2016 that brought about the Donald Trump/Mike Pence dy- namic that has dominated ever since.
