  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

    MarylandInfluencers f there was one place where the Democratic Party could take sol- ace on Election Day 2010, it was Maryland, a rock that broke part Iof the red tide sweeping the country. In a year where Republi- cans hoped to make gains across the board, Democrats proved their dominance in the biggest races, holding the governor’s mansion in a landslide, losing just a handful of seats in the state House of Delegates, and actually gaining ground in the state Senate. Any doubts about how deep blue Maryland is—particularly within the state’s heavily populated central corridor—were surely dissipated. Yet the next few years will be pivotal for both parties. Age and term limits are taking their toll on veteran officeholders, opening up op- portunities for ambitious Republicans and Democrats alike to make their mark. The blood sport of redistricting will play out as well. Here is our list of the Democrats and Republicans who are helping to make the decisions and start the important political conversations today in the Chesapeake Bay State—as well as some likely to play a bigger role in the future.

  • Baltimore Voters Back Proposed $15/Hour Law
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 22, 2016 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Marylanders Want Legislature to Go Further on Minimum Wage; Baltimore Voters Back Proposed $15/Hour Law Raleigh, N.C. – Despite Maryland being one of the first states in the nation to increase its minimum wage to over $10/hour just two years ago, voters in the state are ready for another raise. A 58% majority favors increasing the state minimum wage – which is currently set to peak at $10.10 per hour by 2018 – to either $12/hour or $15/hour. 73% of Democrats and 57% of independents support the raise, and 60% of Republicans either agree with an additional boost or are in favor of the $10/hour plan signed into law by former Democratic Governor and Presidential candidate Martin O’Malley. Support for a second raise is most fervent among voters in Baltimore, where the City Council is expected to vote on a proposed citywide wage increase to $15/hour this month. 57% of Baltimoreans favor joining cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Seattle in increasing the city wage floor to $15/hour, while 79% back an increase to either $12/hour or $15/hour. When it comes to other major national issues, Maryland is consistent with its label as one of the most liberal states in the country. 75% of Marylanders support the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan for regulating emissions from power plants, including 86% of Democrats and 56% of Republicans.

  • Katie O'malley's March the Mother of Four and Baltimore District Court Judge Now Juggles a New Responsibility -- First Lady (But Don't Call Her That)
    KATIE O'MALLEY'S MARCH THE MOTHER OF FOUR AND BALTIMORE DISTRICT COURT JUDGE NOW JUGGLES A NEW RESPONSIBILITY -- FIRST LADY (BUT DON'T CALL HER THAT) The Baltimore Sun February 5, 2007 Four-year-old Jack O'Malley was walking straight toward the barrier of ferns that decorated the edge of the raised podium where his father would deliver his inaugural address. But before he reached the stage's perilous perimeter, Jack's mother gently reeled him in. She tucked the boy under her coat - with only his head poking out, he resembled a baby marsupial - and then stifled a giggle. No one was the wiser. The state of the youngest member of Maryland's first family was secure. Catherine Curran O'Malley has grown accustomed to just such moments. Lots of children. Lots of attention. And with many Maryland residents watching the first lady's debut, big pressure, too. Yet, she held it together - without a grimace or groan, smiling throughout. An adept multi-tasker. As Martin O'Malley settles into the governor's job, his wife is juggling her responsibilities as first lady, a commuting Baltimore District Court judge and a mother of four. She comes from a prominent political family, the daughter of J. Joseph Curran Jr., the former state attorney general and lieutenant governor who spent nearly a half-century in public life. But because she is a judge she must abide by the court's prohibition against "partisan political activity," which restricted her from campaigning for her husband. As a result, even her voice remains a mystery to many Marylanders.

Moving is never easy. Moving 1,400 people into a new home that has little resemblance with the old quarters is a one-of-a-kind undertaking. Emotions were running high—good and bad. All our lives have changed; for most of us, it has little resemblance with what it used to be. On October 24, 2006, we celebrated our Grand Opening. Each and everyone has felt that it is a grand new beginning for dentistry and the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, the first dental school in the world, founded 166 years ago. Our new quarters are not a replacement home—they offer lots of light and better workspaces for all. As with any move of this magnitude, not everyone’s expecta- tions are met.
