Face to face discussion is the m::,st effective means of carrnunication, a.rrl essential to the establishment of a solid working re­ lationship if you do not already kn:M each other. A meeting is m::,re easily arranged early in a session, before pressures build up. All legislators have one or m::,re district offices. Visits there will often be m::,re convenient for you than in Washington. Manbers of Congress return periodically (check with the district office), during Congressional recesses, a.rrl between sessions. Constituents are always welcane in Washi.n:Jton. Be sure you have a finn appointment. Use the district office to make local or capitol appointments. (Get to know district staffs: secretaries a.rrl administrative assistants. Close working relationships will benefit in many ways.) Take along others -- library director, trustee, Frierrl, representative of a ccrrmunity organization, citizen activist. Keep the delegation small enough for an easy exchange of viewpoints with the legislator. Leave your card a.rrl any written infornation you may have prepared. Follow up with a letter of appreciation for the ti.ID= given to you, a.rrl in::lude any additional infornation suggested by the visit. · ••••• TEIEPHC?IB CALI.S. Once you have made the acquaintance of your representative, ~ telepoone calls are appropriate arrl easy. Make them sparingly to the &....II legislator, woose ti.ID= is heavily occupied. (Regular cxmtact with staff is possible a.rrl desirable. ) Telep:tone to ask support before a hearing or floor vote; to ask for help with legislative colleagues; to convey urgent local cooce.rn. Judge hcM far to p.rrsue by the reaction. Renember that it is m::,re difficult for a legislator to targ:x)rize in a conversation than by letter. I.E.ITERS, LE'ITERS, I.ETIERS. 'lhese are the chief fuel which pc:MerS any ~ legislative vehicle. '!hey are reacl. '!hey elicit responses. They represent votes. (F.ach letter writer is deemed to represent several "b1! like-mirrled if less highly m::,tivated constituents.) Letters may be fornal or informal, typewritten or harrlwritten. They s:tould be catlfX)sed by you, giving your reasons for your position (a.rrl giving the legislator reasons to support it). If you are asking support for a particular bill, cite it by number a.rrl aut:tor, a.rrl give its title or subject matter. 'I'EI..B3RAMS & MAII.GRAMS. 'lhese are fast, easy ways to cx::mrunicate with legislators when the nee:i for action is critical: just prior to a cx:mnittee or floor vote.

AIA Was~n Office 1984, with thanks to california Library Association. The most frequently used, correct forms of address are: To your Senator: To your Representative: The Honorable (full name) The Honorable (full name) United States Senate U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20515 "Sincerely yours" is in good taste as a complimentary close. Remember to sign your given name and surname. If you use a title in your signature, be sure to enclose it in parentheses. Forms similar to the above, addressed to your state capital, are appropriate for your state representatives and senators. Where possible use your official letterhead. If this is not in order, and you write as an individual, use plain white bond paper, and give your official title following your signature as a means of identification and to indicate your competency to speak on the subject.

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).

  • Katie Hall Gary, Lake County April 3, 1938 – February 20, 2012
    Katie Hall Gary, Lake County April 3, 1938 – February 20, 2012 On April 3, 1938, Katie Hall was born in Mississippi. She received a bachelor’s degree from Mississippi Valley State University and a master’s degree from Indiana University in Bloomington in 1968. She then taught social studies in Gary, Indiana. Hall was elected to the Indiana state house of representatives in 1974. She then was elected to the state senate, where she served from 1976 until 1982. In September of 1982, the Indiana Representative for the 1st U.S. District died while running for re-election. After a contentious process, she became the Democratic nominee for the November election and then became the first African-American woman from Indiana to serve in the U.S. Congress after winning the general election. Among her chief accomplishments was introducing a bill to make Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday a national holiday. Since King’s assassination in 1968, similar measures had been introduced, but all had failed. The primary argument against these bills was the large cost to the federal government because the previous bills had designated a fixed date of King’s January 15th birthday. In July 1983, she introduced a bill that designated the third Monday in January to prevent government offices from having to open twice in one week and thereby saving money. On August 2, 1983, the bill passed the House and on November 2, 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed it into law. During her 1984 bid for re–election, Hall lost the Democratic nomination to Pete Visclosky during the May Primary.

    V24, N14 Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2018 INGOP reaches its political, policy apex Chairman Hupfer surveys the Braun victory, his metrics and what’s coming for the Next Level By BRIAN A. HOWEY INDIANAPOLIS – There couldn’t be a more emphatic contrast when it comes to major party chairs Kyle Hupfer of the Re- publicans and John Zody of the Democrats. Hupfer is essentially undefeated in statewide races and federal seats beyond the 1st and 7th CDs. Zody has been shut out, save for three Indiana House seats and a Senate pickup this cycle, coming after a GOP shakeup in 2016 that brought about the Donald Trump/Mike Pence dy- namic that has dominated ever since.

  • Congressman Ron Packard Joins Advisory Board
    The Lares Institute. For Release: September 26, 2011. For Release: 3:00 p.m. (EST) Hon. Ron Packard Joins Lares Institute Advisory Board September 26, 2011. The Honorable Ron Packard has been selected to join the advisory board of The Lares Institute, a think tank that researches issues related to emerging technology, information governance and legal process management. He joins Executive Director Andrew Serwin, and Senior Research Advisor, Dr. Larry Ponemon. “I am very pleased to have Congressman Packard join our advisory board, and to have the opportunity to work with him once again”, said Andrew Serwin, Executive Director of the Lares Institute. Congressman Ron Packard was first elected to Congress on November 2, 1982 by a write-in vote – only the fourth successful write-in candidate in the history of the United States Congress. Congressman Packard served for 18 years, representing the 48th District in Southern California. He routinely captured over 70 percent of the vote in his reelection campaigns. He retired from the Congress on January 3, 2001 and currently is the Senior Partner in Packard Government Affairs, a San Diego and Washington based consulting firm. Ron Packard was born on January 19, 1931 in Meridian, Idaho, where he spent his youth and attended high school. After studying at Brigham Young University and Portland State University, he entered the University of Oregon Dental School and received his D.M.D. degree in 1957. From 1957 to 1959, Packard was stationed at Camp Pendleton, California on duty with the U.S. Navy Dental Corps. Following his service in the Navy, he relocated his family and practice to the Carlsbad area and founded the Packard Dental Clinic.
