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).

  • Chicago's Evolving City Council Chicago City Council Report #9
    Chicago’s Evolving City Council Chicago City Council Report #9 June 17, 2015 – March 29, 2017 Authored By: Dick Simpson Maureen Heffern Ponicki Allyson Nolde Thomas J. Gradel University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science May 17, 2017 2 Since Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the new Chicago City Council were sworn in two years ago, there have been 67 divided roll call votes or roughly three per month. A divided roll call vote is not unanimous because at least one or more aldermen votes against the mayor and his administration. The rate of divided roll call votes – twice the rate in Emanuel’s first four year term – combined with an increase in the number of aldermen voting against the mayor – are indications that the aldermen are becoming more independent. Clearly, the city council is less of a predictable “rubber stamp” than it was during Mayor Richard M. Daley’s 22 years and Emanuel’s first four year term from 2011-2015. However, this movement away from an absolute rubber stamp is small and city council is only glacially evolving. The increase in aldermanic independence is confirmed by a downward trend in the vote agreement with the mayor, with only five aldermen voting with him 100% of the time and another 22 voting with him 90%. The number of aldermen voting with the mayor less than 90% of the time on divided votes has risen to 23 over the last two years. Aldermen are also more willing to produce their own legislation and proposed solutions to critical city problems than in the past rather than wait for, or to clear their proposals with, the 5th floor.

  • Sentences of Incarceration Decline Sharply, Public Safety Improves
    Sentences of Incarceration Decline Sharply, Public Safety Improves During Kim Foxx’s Second Year in Office New data portal demonstrates benefit of criminal justice reform, transparency A Report from Community Partners by Reclaim Chicago, The People’s Lobby, and Chicago Appleseed Fund for Justice Release July 2019 INTRODUCTION The People’s Lobby, Reclaim Chicago, and Chicago Appleseed Fund for Justice have been tracking data on how prosecution is changing in Cook County since Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s first year in office. The People’s Lobby and Reclaim Chicago ran major voter contact operations to support State’s Attorney Foxx’s election on a decarceration platform and pledged to work to ensure that her vision of criminal justice reform happened once she took office. Chicago Appleseed has been advocating for criminal justice reform for decades and has a history of tracking data related to the Cook County court system. This is the fourth report in our series.1 In May 2019, State’s Attorney Foxx’s office took another major step forward in transparency by creating a user-friendly data portal, a dynamic dashboard showing how the office handles felony cases from initiations to sentencing in real time. This data portal helps make the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office one of the most transparent in the country. This report looks at four key metrics in the data that was recently released: number of sentences of incarceration, number of felony charges, number of guilty pleas, and number of cases dropped. We find that the use of prosecutorial discretion in the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office has led to a decrease in incarceration sentences.

  • Translating Movement Into the Role of Independent Political Organizing In
    TRANSLATING MOVEMENT INTO POWER The Role of Independent Political Organizing in the Racial Justice Victory Over Anita Alvarez in the Cook County State’s Attorney Race Reclaim Chicago, The People’s Lobby, SOUL (Southsiders Organized for Unity & Liberation), Center for Racial & Gender Equity, and Action Now SECTIONS I. Summary 2 II. Setting the Frame and Defining the Incumbent 3 III. Creating a Bigger, Bolder Contest 7 IV. Conclusions & Questions 15 V. Appendix 18 Translating Movement into Power • 1 I. SUMMARY Chicago community-based independent political organizations played a critical role in the successful campaign to defeat incumbent Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez, a staunch opponent of police and criminal justice reform, in the March 2016 Democratic primary. Black-led community organizations set the stage for the contest by publicly defining Alvarez as an opponent of accountability and reform, shaping the lead protagonist (challenger Kim Foxx) into a bold leader, and catapulting Foxx to a landslide victory over Alvarez. SOUL (Southsiders Organized for Unity & Liberation), The People’s Lobby, and Reclaim Chicago in particular led an inside-outside strategy over several years that built toward this historic and game-changing racial justice victory and, together with other allied community organizations, collectively made 310,000 calls/door knocks to contribute to a resounding victory on election night. The defeat of Alvarez and victory of Foxx represents a win for the Movement for Black Lives and signifies a political awakening for racial justice. It also represents a victory for the broader progressive movement, a victory that can teach key lessons about the combined power of high-profile movement activism and independent political organizing (often less visible) that can translate energy and intentions into large-scale electoral engagement and the exercise of community power.
