On t he seventeenth day of July, 1871, resolutions of the General Assembly were approved by His Excellency, Marshall Jewell, Gov ernor, appropriating the sum of five hundred thousand dollars for the purpose of erecting in the town of Hartford a new State House, author izing the city of Hartford to issue " Capitol bonds ” to the amount of one million dollars, and appointing Marshall Jewell of Hartford, VVil liam D. Bishop of Bridgeport, William A. Buckingham of Norwich, William H. Barnum of Salisbury, and \Villiam D. Shipman of Hartford, a board of commissioners to contract for and fully complete the build mg. This c ommission accepted the present site from the city of Hartford and the plan of Mr. R. M. Upjohn of New York, as the design for the building. They also contracted with Mr. J. G. Batterson forthe erection of the building for the sum of eight hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars. In 1 873, a resolution was passed by the General Assembly authoriz ing His Excellency the Governor to appoint a board of commissioners to construct a State House in Hartford, upon the site provided by the city, it having been decided to abandon the plan adopted by the former commission and build a fire-proof structure upon a more liberal scale. Under t his resolution Jeremiah Halsey of Norwich, Alfred E. Burr of Hartford, Nathaniel Wheeler of Bridgeport, William P. Trowbridge of New Haven, and Austin Dunham of Hartford, were appointed a Board of State House Commissioners. Mr. D unham died in March, 1877, and Gardner P. Barber of Hart ford was appointed in his stead. Mr. Barber resigned on account of failing health, in September, 1879, and Franklin Chamberlin of Hartford was appointed to fill the vacancy. This Board returned Mr. Upjohn's plan to him for improvement, and in 1874 submitted to the General Assembly a new plan with an estimate of the cost, two million five hundred thousand dollars. This “ perfected plan” was approved by the General Assembly and one million dollars additional appropriated for construction. In 1877 the commissioners were authorized to “ contract for the expenditure of two millions of dollars on the part of the State.” The building was com pleted in 1880, at a total cost of $2,532,524.43, which sum included heat ing and ventilating apparatus, elevator, statuary, etc., amounting to nearly one hundred thousand dollars. The c ity of Hartford, in addition to providing the site. appropriated five hundred thousand dollars towards the construction of the building. The f urnishing of the building cost, in addition to the above-named sum, about one hundred thousand dollars. The d imensions are as follows : Extreme l ength, two hundred ninety-five feet, eight inches. \Vidth of central part, one hundred eight-nine feet, four inches ; of wings, one hundred eleven feet, eight inches. Height from ground to top of roof, ninety-two feet, eight inches ; to top of crowning figure, two hundred fifty'seven feet, two inches. THE O FFICES. THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.

  • Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012
    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).

  • 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.

Have a seat. Thank you so much. It is great to be here. There are a couple of people I want to make sure to acknowledge. They may have already been acknowledged, but not by me. So I'm going to acknowledge them because they are doing outstanding work: First of all, the mayor of the great city of Columbus, Michael Coleman; a champion of working families not just in Ohio, but all across the country, Senator Sherrod Brown; a wonderful Member of Congress who's fighting day in, day out, Mary Jo Kilroy is here; and although he is not on the list, he's down a little south from here but he's here, I saw him, so I want to acknowledge him because he is just an outstanding, outstanding young Member of Congress, Steve Driehaus is in the house. There he is. Lieutenant Governor and soon to be Senator, Lee Fisher is here. Attorney General Rich Cordray is here. Treasurer Kevin Boyce is in the house. And candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Yvette McGee Brown is here. It is good to be back in Ohio. And it is good to be among such good friends, because as I look out over the audience, I know so many of you worked so hard on behalf of our campaign. You were there when we were up; you were there when we were down.
