    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).

  • Analysis of 2010 Mid-Term Election Results

    Analysis of 2010 Mid-Term Election Results

    Analysis of 2010 Mid-Term Election Results November 3, 2010 When the Founding Fathers created a bicameral legislative branch of the government, they determined that all members of the lower body—the U.S. House of Representatives—would run for office every two years and that members of the upper chamber—the U.S. Senate—would serve six-year terms with a third of the membership reviewed every two years. The theory was that the House—the “Peoples Chamber”—would reflect current public sentiment while the Senate would be a more deliberative chamber. Or, as later described, the House would be like a hot cup of coffee and the Senate would be the saucer that cools legislation down. That theory of legislative governance was soundly reconfirmed on Tuesday as Republicans won control of the U.S. House of Representatives by a significant margin but fell several seats short of gaining control of the U.S. Senate. With several races still too close to call, Republicans have captured 239 seats to take control of the House for the first time since 2006 and picked up six Senate seats to close the gap to no worse than 53-47 (two races remain undecided). Further solidifying their gains, Republicans won 27 gubernatorial races, including the key battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Partially offsetting those losses, Democrats captured gubernatorial races in California and New York. Senate Going into yesterday’s elections, there were 37 Senate races being contested: 19 Democrat-held seats and 18 Republican-held seats. Republicans needed a net gain of 10 to win control but fell short of that goal.

    Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretarv Dear Ms. Dortch: This is my first job coming out of college and I must say that my iipinion of large Companies was very negative until I had the chance to ido1-k at Qwest. I can honestly say that the people I work with here at Qwest really care about our customers and this caring has changed my view towards large companies. To make a decision of negativity towards this company would be a loss for both Qwest employees and our customers. Sincerely, Marcus Jordan 723 Kenwood Avenue Duluth, MN 55811 CC: Senator Mark Dayton Senator Norm Coleman Congressman Jim Oberstar April 18, 2001 L 11 Ms. Marlcnc H. Dortch, Sccrcrary Federal Communication5 Commission Orfice 01 thc Sccrctary 445 IZ"' Street sw Washingon, DC 20554 Dear Ms. Dortch: As citircns of the State ot Minnesota. wc deserve the benefits of competition in lonE distance telephone service like other states in thc country. Competition brings lower prices, improved servicc, md advanced technology. It is about time that I see my long distance bills lowcrcd. Qwest's cntry into the long distance market will allow me to save money. Qwest also, would offcr a betier coverage of long distance than many other telecommunications carriers. It would be a shame to see Qwest lose out on the opportunity to offer me better service here in Minnesota than other competition. I also like that Qwest's cntry would allow me to receive all of my phone bills on one easy to read statement.
