Biographical Information Phillip Burton (1926-1983) was an American politician who served in the United States Congress. He served 10 terms in the United States House of Representatives as Congressman for California's San Francisco district; prior to that he served four terms in the California State Assembly. Born on June 1, 1926 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Burton moved to California during high school, graduating from San Francisco's George Washington High School in 1944. Between tours of duty in the military during World War II and the Korean War, Burton attended the University of Southern California, graduating with an undergraduate degree in Political Science in 1947, and then returned to San Francisco to earn his legal degree from Golden Gate Law School in 1952. Burton married his wife, Sala Galante, in 1953 and embarked on a legal career after his return from the Korean War; he was admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court in 1956. Finding Aid to the Phillip Burton BANC MSS 87/233 c 3 Papers, 1945-1986, bulk 1956-1983 Burton's political career began with his election to the California State Assembly in 1957, where he served 4 terms; in 1959, he represented the United States at the Atlantic Treaty Association Conference in France. In February 1964, Burton won a special election to the House of Representatives to replace John Shelley, who had been elected mayor of San Francisco and resigned his seat. During his time in Congress, Burton served on the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, Committee on Education and Labor, and the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee. Known as a forceful advocate of liberal politics, Burton opposed the Vietnam War from the onset, voting against all appropriations for the conflict; helped abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities; and promoted labor, civil rights and social welfare, including helping to author bills such as the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act and the Supplemental Social Security for the aged, blind, and disabled, as well as legislation that expanded the minimum wage and provided funding for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Moreover, Burton was greatly known for promoting environmental causes, and during his time on the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs was instrumental in bolstering the National Park System and the establishment of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in his home district. In 1976, Burton missed becoming the youngest House Majority Leader in the history of the House of Representatives by a single vote. Burton was also a delegate for the California State Democratic convention from1968-1982 and a delegate for the Democratic National Convention in 1968 and 1970. Burton died of an aneurysm in San Francisco on April 10, 1983. In a special election held only two months later, his wife, Sala Galante Burton, was elected to fill his vacant Congressional seat. Scope and Content of Collection The Phillip Burton Papers consist primarily of files Burton compiled during his career as a politician.

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).

  • Potrero View
    CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO LONDON N. BREED, MAYOR OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS REGINA DICK-ENDRIZZI, DIRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE JANUARY 13, 2020 THE POTRERO VIEW Application No.: LBR-2019-20-007 Business Name: The Potrero View Business Address: 1459 18th St., #214 District: District 10 Applicant: Bettina Cohen, Marketing Manager Nomination Date: July 15, 2019 Nominated By: Supervisor Shamann Walton Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION The Potrero View (the “View”) is San Francisco's oldest continuously published community newspaper, beginning in 1970. Dubbing themselves the “Potrero Hill Mob,” Bill and Jodie Dawson, Lenny Anderson, Micky Ostler and Rose Marie Sicoli launched The Potrero View out of the Dawson’s 284 Connecticut Street home. Aspiring to emerge into a newspaper that could influence municipal policy decisions, they received guidance from Eileen Maloney, their first editor who had journalism experience at Long Island’s Newsday and San Francisco's Progress. Potrero Hill resident Ruth Passen started contributing to the View in January 1971. That spring, Passen assumed editorial duties from Maloney, and in 1972, Passen succeeded the Dawsons as publisher of The Potrero View. She retired and turned the newspaper over to Steven Moss in 2006. The Potrero View began publishing its issues from offices in the basement of the Potrero Hill Neighborhood House in June 1972, not long after community advocate Enola Maxwell was elected director of the nonprofit. "The Nabe," as 953 De Haro is affectionately called by locals, is a Potrero Hill landmark, dating back to 1922, and has continuously housed churches or nonprofits that have a mission to serve community members in need, with an emphasis on youth and education.

She has a ready smile and studied graciousness, but can be as hard-nosed as any high- level figure in Washington. She inspires admiration among Democrats — and loathing among conservatives. Pelosi (pa-LO-see) spent her first two years in charge of the House berating an unpopular president from the opposing party while trying to keep her modest majority unified in staving off his lame-duck round of legislative priorities. She assumed a much different role in 2009, holding together a larger collection of Democrats behind President Obama’s ambitious agenda while acting as his cheerleader-in-chief at the Capitol.
