RACIAL GERRYMANDERING AND REPUBLICAN GAINS IN SOUTHERN HOUSE ELECTIONS Dona!,dBeachler, Ithaca College Introduction During the 1980s, southern House elections were characterized by two important results. 1 First , the Republican party made no net gains in southern House seats over the course of the decade. In the 1980s Democrats dominated congressional and state politics in the South by constructing bi-racial coalitions. Southern Democratic nominees were moderate enough to win white votes which, when combined with overwhelming African-American majorities , produced electoral success in many cases. 2 The failure to gain seats in the South, a region where the GOP had dominated presidential politics in most elections since 1972, 3 was a major reason Republicans failed in their drive to gain a majority in the House of Representatives during the Reagan-Bush years. However, the House elections of 1992 and 1994 proved a boon to southern Republicans as they gained nine southern House seats in the election of 1992 and an additional 16 seats in 1994.

They're looking for a few minutes of informal remarks. *A former Mayor of Fort Lauderdale, Shaw was first elected to Congress in 1980. Shaw had a tough race in a newly-reapportioned district in 1992, spending over $1 million, and eventually winning with 52%-37%. (11% was divided among four other candidates) *Shaw spent his first eight years in Congress on the Judiciary Committee, and then transferred over to Ways and Means. He cast decisive votes in Committee for the Catastrophic Health Care program, but quickly came out for repeal in 1989. *During the ABC child care bill, he joined with Congressman Stenholm to sponsor the alternative based on the theory that parents, rather than government bureaucrats, can make best decisions on child care. The alternative failed, but bill sponsors had to move in their direction to get a bill passed. *Shaw's staff said that he is now focusing his attention on welfare reform, where he has introduced a bill to take most people off welfare after two years, and require them to work for continued benefits.

IRB protocol # 12-0581 iii Abstract Jessica L. Weinkle, (Ph.D., Environmental Studies) The Prediction Racket: Constructing, Characterizing, and Governing Florida’s Hurricane Risk Dissertation directed by Professor Roger Pielke, Jr. The prediction racket describes a situation in Florida where insurance rate decision makers look to catastrophe models to reduce uncertainty about future loss and in the process characterize ever more risk. To alleviate the racket’s affect on the public, the Florida legislature mandated its residual market, Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (Citizens), provide “affordable property insurance.” However, Citizens struggles to satisfy its mandate because disagreement about the risk detracts from constructive debate needed to reconcile conflict between insurer economic sustainability and insurance affordability. This undermines legislative efforts and threatens Florida’s democratic process. This dissertation examines the interrelated social and decision process of constructing understanding of the hurricane risk, negotiating its characterization, and implementing insurance.
