II. COng:=essional District At-1arg-e Seat - Rep. Jim Santini (D) (78%) - nay rml for Governor. If so, Lt. G:N. PDse will rml for this seat. 11-7-77 III. State of the Party '!he State Party will be effective in the grassroots aspect of ~gn. Did a good job of coordinating the phone banks, registration drives, etc., in 1916, will fill this role in 1978 rather than a major noney role. NEW HAMPSHIRE 1. Governor Meldrim Thompson R (58%) If he runs for reelection (instead of U.S. Senate) he may have liberal Republican primary opposition. The Democratic opposition so far: Hugh Gallen, automobile dealer, came in 3rd in the gubernatorial primary in 1974 and 1976, moderate Democrat; Silvio Dupuis, former mayor of Manchester, strongest in the field against Thompson, good candidate, but his family is STRONGLY opposed to his running; Clesson Blaisbell, State Senator, pro-state income tax platform, unknown; Dell Downing, · Senate: Minority leader, unknown; Bob Preston, State Senator, unknown; and Dick Stanton, mayor of Manchester, unknown. If Thompson doesn't run for reelection about 10 Republicans will run for his seat. If Thompson does run for reelection he must be considered a strong favorite. l 7/11/77 NEW HAMPSHIRE Thomas McIntyre (D) - is seeldng a fourth tenn. He has no clear cut opposition at this date but several Republicans are looking. McIntyre has strong labor support and has done his hom:work. He is perceived as low keyed and has not had a hard fought race in years. However, the DurkinlWyman race left its mark on all N.H. politicos and McIntyre is getting ready to do battle. '!be ~2!lchester Union Leader and its pistol-totingjJublisher W1ll1am Loeb want to see (Governor) Meldrim Thomson in the U.S. Senate. Thompson would Jil<:e to oppose Senator Durldn but may not be able to wait. He is ultra-conservative, nationally mown, and the darling of the union leaders. Thompson would not have either money or name recognition problems and would be a tough oppOnel'1.t. If Thorr:pson runs, look for substantial help from the R.N.C. and conservative money. Sane lesser known Republicans are looking to run and would make it much easier for McIntyre if Thompson should pass. They are Senate President Alf Jacobson, a well financed liberal, and Governor f s councilor Lou j)'i"'lfne­ sandra, a m::xierate. No recent polls have been taken. The party is united and wants to hold onto its three Federal-offices. 7/11/77 NEW HAMPSHIRE III. House Both First District Congressman Norm D'Amours (D)(69%) and Second Dictrict Congressman James Cleveland (R)(6l%) appear to be fairly safe. 7/11/77 NEW HAMPSHIRE IV. State of the Party The Democritic Party wants Thompson out of office. He is their number one target and they will actively work for his defeat. Thompson seems to be moving for re­ election one last time with the hope of facing Durkin in a 1980 Senate race. ( 7/11/77 NEW JER3EY Senator Clifford Case (R) -- '!he issue is whether Senator Clifford Case will run for reelection. As usual them are rmors indicating l::oth that he will run and that he won't run. case has been SQIlEf..mat evasive. Thus far his policy seems to be keeping his opti<XlS open as ImJdl as pcssible. l-bst cbservers, including m:::st high ranking Ce:rocrats in NeH' Jersey, agree that Case is unbeatable. He is ilrm:nsely popular with the voters, has been reelected a ntmber of ti.rres, and has dale nothing whidl would haIln his standing with the voters of New Jersey. Possible Democratic dlallengers: A nurri:ler of r::emxrats have indicated that they might be interested in running for the Senate seat: P!:bert PDe}who was defeated in the Gubematorial prirrary by G:>ve.mor Byme/has suggested that he might run. Too, Congressman Jim Florio, who also ran in the Gubematorial primaJ::y, has indicated that he is considering running for the Senate. Although Florio finished fourth in the Gubematorial pri.mal:y he is regarded by New Jersey politia:s as a rising star of the r::enocratic party. Jarres Shue, a well knaYIl, wealthy m:m who is not presently in govenmEl1t is said to have designs on the Senate seat. It is agreed by nost c::bservers that ncne of these potential r:enocratic candidates could defeat Case. Ihem is, however, one potential Cerrocratic candidate who might beat Case; fo:tlIEr basketball player Bill Bradley is gearing up for a run at the S""enate seat. Our source made it very clear that Bradley wants this to be kept absolutely secret because he does not want to bec:xJIte involved in the gubematorial race, (Byme and Bradley are not and never have been close) • Bradley wishes to make his announcerrent in either Noverrber or I:ec:errber. Bradley is very popular with people in New Jersey, and the r::e.rrocratic party leaders would love to have him run. If Bradley dces enter the ,race, and it seems relatively sure that he will, 5p:0.l­ lation is that Case will net run. case is old and would have a v-e.ry tough ca:rrpaign against Bradley. SOurces in the Se.'1ate believe that Case w-ould not want to enter sudl a difficult race. If Case dces not run, the likely PepubliC2Il candidate is M3.tthetl Rinaldo, who is a Netl Jersey Congressman. Rinaldo is well-liked and well­ Iesp:ct...od. Hcweve.r, it is agreed that he would be a sacrificial larb if he w"eI'e ~led to run against Bradley. 'n1e New Jersey State party is $185,000 in debt. 'n1ey have not had, until recently, a State party office. Jim Dugan, foncer State party d1.a.i..l:man, was not effective in unifying the party during his tenure. M:Jst of the political paver has rested in the hands of the County dlail::Iren. Dugan has bee.'1 replaced by Pidlard "Dick" Cbffee, who at one tirre wolked for Covemor Byme and is new his Carrpaign M3nager. M:Jst Cerrocrats in New Jersey are pleased by Coffee's election and anticipate a rejuvenation of the party under his leadership. 'lhe initial goal is t"w~ pronged: reduce the Party's deficit and to get Covemor Byme reelected. Ihe sUCf""Oss of l::oth these c::b jecti'V'eS will affect their ability to assist in the Senate race. ll. Q:mgressional District 9th COngresSional "District - Harold Hollenbeck (R) (54%) H:>llenbeck w:>n by defeating the incumbent Heru:y Helstoski. Three other candidates of th: Independent and Lil:ertarial Parties ran but have 00 impact on the race. Hbllen1:eck's victory can be largely attril:uted to Helstoski's ~g indict:m:nt. This district is traditionally DemXratic. A probable rarocratic candidate for this seat is AI Burstein, a State Assemblyrcan of 6-8 years, fran Tenafly, New Jersey. He has th: support of lal:x:>r and is well received by the public. He is described as a "liberals liberal". His only liability may be that he appears too intellectual fran t.irre to t.irre. Burstein w:>uld need financial supp::>rt. He considered running aginst Helstoski. 7th COngressional District - Andrew Maguire (D) (57%) W:>n by defeating Jarres Sheehan in 1976. The 7th has a large number of registered Republicans due to a redistricting naneuver by the Republicans. M3.guire is regarded to be seriously oonsidering the Senate seat which may be vacated by Senator Case. If M3.guire runs for the Senate, the District ~d need a strong Dercocratic candidate to h:>ld the seat. M3.guire does not have a large financial base. If Maguire stays in the 7th as Congressrran, he will be a slight favorite for reelection. 12th Congressional District - Matt Rinaldo (R) (73%) ~. ; Rinaldo may run for Senate if Case retires. If this is an open seat amId be w:>n by the Dercocrats based on the district I s past voting patterns. 13th COngressional District - Helen ~yner (D) (51%) She w:>n by defeating William E. Schluter. The district was first created in 1972. ~yner will undoubtedly run again in 1978 and while her p::>pularity has grown, she will face stiff Republican opp::>sition in a district that was created by and for a Republican by the Republican Legislature of that t..irre. In addition, Meyner is one of 17 Dercocratic u. S • Representatives included in a National Republican Congressional Cornnittee - "National Drive to C'efeat Liberal Dercocrats". She has the supp::>rt of laror but may need SatE help financially. No Dercocratic challenge is expected. 14th Congressional District - Joseph LeFante (D) (50%) An untraditionally Dem:x:ratic district but hJtly contested by G.O.P. in 1976. 15th Congressional District -Edward Patten (D) (59%) Patten is a veteran Derrocrat who might be regarded as vulnerable by the Republicans, especially considering his 1972 tough reelection fight and his old age - 72. 7-11-77 III. State of the party The New Jersey State Party needs a strong Chainran. The party has had to deso1ve its fonnal operation because of indebtedness ($180, 000) • Congressional ItlEml:ers cannot expect Imlch if any assistance from the State Party. until recently, the State Party has not even had an office arrl no'st of the p::>litical ~ has reste3. in the hands of the Cbtmty Chainran. The new State Chainran, Richard "Dick" Coffee, is a forner Brendan Byrne staffer and current Byrne Campaign Manager.

    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.

Mcintyre, Jr SUBJECT: Letter from Jack Brooks on the Paperwork Act You asked for my comments on a letter to you from Chairman Brooks, in which he stated that the Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Justice were thwarting the passage of S. 1411, the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980. For the past eleven months (since your remarks in support of "paperwork legislation" at the ceremony marking the signing of your Executive Order on Paperwork), we have been working with Chairman Brooks and Senator Chiles to shape and pass the "Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980." The bill that formed the basis for the legislation had been introduced at the beginning of this Congress; it strengthened the Federal Reports Act - a 1942 law that requires OMB to "clear" requests for information from the public by most executive agencies. The strengthening amendments would have brought the indepen­ dent regulatory commissions and the Internal Revenue Service - currently exempt from OMB clearance - under our authority and made it clear that no one in the private sector could be penalized for not complying with a Federal information requirement if it had not been approved by OMB.

This mission is accomplished through a partnership with private citizens wishing to leave their footprint in our state's rich history. Education and Development In 2009 and 2010 Friends of the Capitol (FOC) participated in several educational and developmental projects informing fellow Oklahomans of the beauty of the capitol and how they can participate in the continuing renovations of Oklahoma State Capitol building. In March of 2010, FOC representatives made a trip to Elk City and met with several organizations within the community and illustrated all the new renovations funded by Friends of the Capitol supporters. Additionally in 2009 FOC participated in the State Superintendent’s encyclo-media conference and in February 2010 FOC participated in the Oklahoma City Public Schools’ Professional Development Day. We had the opportunity to meet with teachers from several different communities in Oklahoma, and we were pleased to inform them about all the new restorations and how their school’s name can be engraved on a 15”x30”paver, and placed below the Capitol’s south steps in the Centennial Memorial Plaza to be admired by many generations of Oklahomans.

  • Historical Musings: the Contours of South Dakota Political Culture

    Historical Musings: the Contours of South Dakota Political Culture

    Copyright © 2004 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Historical Musings The Contours of South Dakota Political Culture JON LAUCK, JOHN E. MILLER, AND EDWARD HOGAN like other states of the Midwest and Great Plains, South Dakota en- joys a moderate republican political culture, rooted in a belief in the equality of individuals and their ability to work together for the greater good. While similarities among these states abound, differences also persist. The political culture of South Dakota is distinct from that of Minnesota, known historically for its liberal leanings, and that of Wy- oming, known for its conservatism. The political culture of South Da- kota, where Populism originated, is even quite distinct from that of North Dakota, where radical pohtical reforms did not take hold until later. As the editor of the Watertown Public Opinion noted in 1890, the "politics of North Dakota is a product of an entirely different breed of cats."' We aim to sketch some of the influences that shape the broad contours of South Dakota's political culture and, therefore, the prac- tice of politics in the state. These contours, like those of a winding streambed, can change in response to events and trends from without but frequently return to form, or what anthropologist Adam Kuper calls "the authentic, local way of being different."^ The authors wish to thank Dwight Adams, Robert Burns, Loren Carlson, Herb Cheever, Alan Clem, Marshall Damgaard, Dave Danbom.

    CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present

    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
