  • Burnsville, Mn Mayor Elizabeth Kautz Is Inaugurated As the 68Th President of the United States Conference of Mayors
    For Immediate Release Contact: Elena Temple - USCM January 5, 2010 202-309-4906 ([email protected]) Carlos Vogel - USCM 202-257-9797 ([email protected]) Jim Skelly - Burnsville 952-895-4402 ([email protected]) BURNSVILLE, MN MAYOR ELIZABETH KAUTZ IS INAUGURATED AS THE 68TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF MAYORS Burnsville, MN – Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth B. Kautz was inaugurated today as the 68th President of The United States Conference of Mayors during a special gavel passing ceremony at 11 a.m. at the Performing Arts Center in Burnsville. This special inauguration was scheduled due to the fact that the immediate past President of The Conference of Mayors, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, was defeated in the most recent mayoral election and his term ended on January 2. Mayor Kautz was the Vice President of The Conference and under the rules of the organization's Constitution, when the President is no longer a mayor, the Vice President automatically becomes President. Mayor Kautz will serve the balance of Seattle Mayor Greg Nickel’s term, which would have ended in June 2010, and then serve a full term of her own as President of the organization until June 2011. On behalf of the Executive Committee and the membership of the Conference, U.S. Conference of Mayors CEO and Executive Director Tom Cochran passed the gavel and introduced Mayor Kautz as the new President of The U.S. Conference of Mayors at the ceremony. "We are encouraged by Mayor Kautz, our new leader, who will ensure a seamless transition,” Cochran said.

  • Nebraska Makes History
    Nebraska Makes History: The 1986 Gubernatorial Election The 1986 Nebraska gubernatorial election was unprecedented in American politics, as it was the first governor’s race in the 210-year history of the United States where both major-party nominees were women. The record books were rewritten again when Kay Orr defeated Helen Boosalis to become the first female Republican governor in America. The groundbreaking election earned national headlines, with major outlets such as the New York Times and others picking up the story as it unfolded in the heartland. For context of the ‘86 election, in 1982 Democrat Bob Kerrey defeated Republican Charles Thorne for the Nebraska governorship. Four years later, the highly popular Kerrey decided not to seek re-election, instead turning his focus to a campaign for the United States Senate in 1988—a wise move, it turned out, as he won. Kerry’s removal of himself from contention in 1986 sounded a call to a large number of eager candidates, and a crowded primary field emerged in both parties. Seven Democrats ran: Chris Beutler, Barton Chandler, Mina Dillingham, David Domina, Marge Higgins, Robert J. Prokop, and Boosalis. The Democratic primary was a runaway victory for Boosalis, who was the front-runner from the beginning. She captured 63,833 votes, which was 44% of the primary vote. Domina, a lawyer, finished a distant second with 37,975 votes (26%), and Beutler, a longtime member of the Unicameral, ran third with 31,605 (22%). Boosalis took 77 of Nebraska’s 93 counties. Across the aisle there were eight Republicans in the race: Kermit Brashear, Nancy Hoch, Chuck Loos, Paul Rosberg, Everett Sileven, Monte Taylor, Roger Yant, and Orr.
