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).

  • PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Their Government
    PPICPPIC STATEWIDESTATEWIDE SURVEYSURVEY FEBRU ARY 2004 Californians and Their Government ○○○○○ Mark Baldassare Research Director & Survey Director Public Policy Institute of California The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) is a private operating foundation established in 1994 with an endowment from William R. Hewlett. The Institute is dedicated to improving public policy in California through independent, objective, nonpartisan research. PPIC’s research agenda focuses on three program areas: population, economy, and governance and public finance. Studies within these programs are examining the underlying forces shaping California’s future, cutting across a wide range of public policy concerns, including education, health care, immigration, income distribution, welfare, urban growth, and state and local finance. PPIC was created because three concerned citizens – William R. Hewlett, Roger W. Heyns, and Arjay Miller – recognized the need for linking objective research to the realities of California public policy. Their goal was to help the state’s leaders better understand the intricacies and implications of contemporary issues and make informed public policy decisions when confronted with challenges in the future. PPIC does not take or support positions on any ballot measure or on any local, state, or federal legislation, nor does it endorse, support, or oppose any political parties or candidates for public office. David W. Lyon is founding President and Chief Executive Officer of PPIC. Raymond L. Watson is Chairman of the Board of Directors. 500 Washington Street, Suite 800 • San Francisco, California 94111 Telephone: (415) 291-4400 • Fax: (415) 291-4401 [email protected] • www.ppic.org Preface The PPIC Statewide Survey series provides policymakers, the media, and the general public with objective, advocacy-free information on the perceptions, opinions, and public policy preferences of California residents.

    How California’s Congressional Delegation Voted on Immigration Reform ca. 1986 As the comprehensive immigration reform effort moves forward in Congress, how did California’s congressional delegation vote on the last major reform legislation – the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986? Forward Observer reviewed the Congressional Record and media reports from the summer and fall of 1986. The final bill, known as Simpson-Mazzoli, passed the Senate by a vote of 63 to 24 and passed the House by a vote of 238 to 173. It was signed into law by President Reagan on November 6, 1986. Of the 47 members of the California delegation, 33 voted in favor of the final bill and 13 voted against it (and one member did not vote): Democrats voted in favor 19-9. Republicans voted in favor 14-4 with Rep. Badham not voting. Twice as many Democrats (9) as Republicans (4) voted against the final bill, but majorities of both parties supported the comprehensive package (68% of Democrats; 78% of Republicans). Only three members who served in Congress at the time remain in office. Two voted for the bill – Rep. George Miller (D-11) and Rep. Henry Waxman (D-33). Sen. Barbara Boxer, then representing the state’s 6th district as a Representative, voted against. The key elements of Simpson-Mazzoli required employers to attest to their employee’s immigration status, made it illegal to hire unauthorized immigrants, legalized certain agricultural illegal immigrants, and legalized illegal immigrants who entered the United States before January 1, 1982, after paying a fine and back taxes.

    Proposed Resolution for Endorsement by the San Diego City Council WHEREAS, the right to free speech afforded by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution is the bedrock of our democracy; and WHEREAS, this right to free speech applies to people, not corporations; and WHEREAS, corporations very clearly are not people but are entities created by the laws of states and nations; and WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010) 130 S. Ct. 876 deemed corporations to be people; and WHEREAS, the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court overturned a longstanding precedent prohibiting corporations from using general treasury funds to influence our elections, candidate selection, and policy decisions; and WHEREAS, since the Citizens United ruling, Americans have witnessed a massive influx of corporate money into our political process that is without precedent in our nation’s history; and WHEREAS, the Citizens United case directly impacts state and local effortso tcontrol the influence of corporate money in their own elections; and WHEREAS, the Citizens United ruling and its far reaching effects represent serious and direct threats to our democracy; and WHEREAS, the Constitution empowers the people and states to use the constitutional amendment process to correct decisions of the Supreme Court; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED, that the San Diego City Council respectfully disagrees with the majority opinion and decision of the United States Supreme Court in Citizens United v.

The November 2012 General Election in California was the first statewide election to feel the full effect of two significant new electoral policies. The first of these, the “Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act,” was approved by voters in 2010 (Proposition 14). Under the new system, all legislative, congressional and constitutional office candidates now appear on the same primary ballot, regardless of party affiliation. The two candidates receiving the most votes in the Primary advance to the General Election, regardless of party affiliation. The June 2012 primary was the first time voters utilized the new system, and the result was numerous intra-party competitions in the November election as described below. The other significant new factor in this election was the newly drawn political districts. The boundaries of legislative and congressional seats were redrawn last year as part of the decennial redistricting process, whereby voting districts are reconfigured based on updated U.S. Census population data. Until 2011, these maps have been redrawn by the majority party in the Legislature, with an emphasis on party registration.

  • Fact Sheet and Q&A California Coastal National Monument
    Fact Sheet and Q&A California Coastal National Monument Expansion Fast Facts • Original monument protects unappropriated or unreserved islands, rocks, exposed reefs, and pinnacles within 12 nautical miles of the California shoreline • Point Arena-Stornetta expansion protects approximately 1,665 acres in Mendocino County • Managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) • Expansion adds six new areas totaling approximately 6,230 acres: o Humboldt County – Trinidad Head, Waluplh-Lighthouse Ranch, and Lost Coast Headlands o Santa Cruz County – Cotoni-Coast Dairies o San Luis Obispo County – Piedras Blancas o Orange County – Orange County Rocks and Islands What is the effect of the President’s proclamation? The President’s proclamation expands California Coastal National Monument by adding six new areas, comprised entirely of existing federal lands. The designation directs the BLM to manage these areas for the care and management of objects of scientific and historic interest identified by the proclamation. The areas generally may not be disposed of by the United States and are closed to new extractive uses such as mining and oil and gas development, and subject to valid existing rights. The designation preserves current uses of the land, including tribal access, hunting or fishing where allowed, and grazing. Will there be an opportunity for local input in the management planning process? The BLM’s planning process for the expansion areas will include opportunities for public input, consistent with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and the BLM’s planning regulations and policies. The BLM will coordinate with state, local, and tribal governments as part of the planning process.
