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).

During Fiscal Year 2012, the Montgomery County Commission for Women (“MCCFW”) worked to reorganize and celebrate the work of the Commission for the past 40 years. In a climate of serious County budget cuts, we started the year with the triumph of learning that, while included in the newly established Community Engagement Cluster, the MCCFW would maintain its autonomy of remaining an independent advisory board that reports to the County Executive and County Council. Although the office was maintained, we faced new challenges, including adjusting to the elimination of all staff positions except the Executive Director and relocating to a new office location while still trying to meet the needs of women and children.

  • Mikulski to Retire
    Mikulski to retire Posted by TBN Editor On 03/02/2015 Washington, DC - The U.S. Congress’ longest-serving woman will not seek a sixth term in the Senate. Several news sources are reporting Monday, March 2 that Senator Barbara Mikulski has announced her pending retirement. The Baltimore native was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986. She had served several terms in the House of Representatives prior to her election to the upper chamber. The Democrat is 78. She became the country’s longest-serving national legislator in 2012. There is already speculation in political circles as to who will seek her seat in 2016. The list of names includes fellow Democrats Chris Van Hollen, Donna Edwards and John Sarbanes, all members of the House; former governors Martin O’Malley, a Democrat, and Robert Ehrlich, a Republican. Mikulski announced her decision at Henderson's Wharf Inn in Fells Point. "I had to decide whether to spend my time fighting to keep my job or fighting for your job," Mikulski told the gathering. "Do I spend my time raising money or raising hell to meet your day to day needs? Do I spend my time focusing on my election or the next generation? Do I spend time the next two years making promises about what I will do or making progress on what I can do right now. The more I thought about it, the more the answer became really clear. I want to campaign for you." Several state officials have offered remarks after hearing Mikulski's announcement.
