    Kathleen Sebelius, governor of Kansas, 2003-2009. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 40 (Winter 2017–2018): 262-289 262 Kansas History “Find a Way to Find Common Ground”: A Conversation with Former Governor Kathleen Sebelius edited by Bob Beatty and Linsey Moddelmog athleen Mary (Gilligan) Sebelius, born May 15, 1948, in Cincinnati, Ohio, served as the State of Kansas’s forty-fourth chief executive from January 13, 2003, to April 28, 2009, when she resigned to serve in President Barack Obama’s cabinet as secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Sebelius rose to the governorship after serving in the Kansas House of Representatives from 1987 to 1995 and serving two terms as Kansas insurance commissioner from 1995 to 2003. She was the first insurance commissioner from the Democratic Party in Kansas history, defeating Republican Kincumbent Ron Todd in 1994, 58.6 percent to 41.4 percent. She ran for reelection in 1998 and easily defeated Republican challenger Bryan Riley, 59.9 to 40.1 percent. In the 2002 gubernatorial race, Sebelius defeated Republican state treasurer Tim Shallenburger, 52.9 to 45.1 percent. She won reelection in 2006 by a vote of 57.9 to 40.4 percent against her Republican challenger, state senator Jim Barnett.1 Sebelius never lost an election to public office in Kansas.2 Sebelius’s 2002 gubernatorial victory marked the first and only father-daughter pair to serve as governors in the United States. Her father, John Gilligan, was Democratic governor of Ohio from 1971 to 1975. Sebelius’s gubernatorial leadership style was one of bipartisanship, as her Democratic Party was always in the minority in the state legislature.

  • The Courts, Congress, and the Politics of Federal Jurisdiction
    THE COURTS, CONGRESS, AND THE POLITICS OF FEDERAL JURISDICTION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brett W. Curry, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved By: Professor Lawrence Baum, Adviser Professor Elliot Slotnick _________________________________ Professor Herbert Weisberg Adviser Political Science Graduate Program Copyright by Brett William Curry 2005 ABSTRACT Although the institutional relationship between the federal courts and Congress has been the subject of substantial empirical research, scholars know relatively little about the specific role that jurisdiction plays in structuring that relationship. Most prior scholarship on the courts and Congress has focused on ways in which Congress has attempted to use its influence over court structure and judicial personnel to impact the federal courts. However, Congress’s ability to expand or limit the types of cases eligible for federal court review has received much less attention. By analyzing congressional efforts to limit federal jurisdiction in two major areas of law, this dissertation sheds new light on jurisdiction’s role in the relationship between these governmental branches and, more generally, the degree of autonomy from congressional oversight that the federal judiciary possesses. The dissertation’s assessment of this jurisdictional activity begins with a technical area of federal statutory jurisdiction known as

First, let me congratulate the Republican Parties of Kansas and Missouri for your success in working together to bring the Republican Convention to Kansas City next August. I never let my feelings be involved in that, but I will say to you I couldnt·t have been happier. Betty and I, and I think most of our family, will be here, and we look forward very greatly to the Convention in 1976. Since Governor Bennett and I have worked very closely together in the past on a number of matters, tonight I am going to make him an offer which I honestly don't think Bob can resist. Bob, I will give you a bed~pread for the Governor.'s mansion if you will get me a room for the Convention in 1976. (Laughter) As I said, the opportunity for us as a party to come out to Kansas in 1976 is wonderful for our party and it is, I hope, going to be a shot in the arm for the Middle West, and Kansas, particularly.

Well, they were gre~t ~n both Tucson and Grand Rapids, and you are superb here in Wichita. And I thank you for your warm, friendly, enthusja~ic welcome.
