  • Secretaries of State Are Crucial for Protecting African American Voters
    GETTY IMAGES/IRA L. BLACK GETTY L. IMAGES/IRA Secretaries of State Are Crucial for Protecting African American Voters By Michael Sozan and Christopher Guerrero August 2020 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESSACTION.ORG Contents 1 Introduction and summary 2 Background for the analysis 6 Analyzing the state of elections 11 Recommendations for secretaries of state during the COVID-19 pandemic 14 Conclusion 14 About the authors 14 Acknowledgments 15 Endnotes Introduction and summary The United States is simultaneously confronting three wrenching challenges: the deadly COVID-19 pandemic, deep economic upheaval, and systemic racism—issues that disproportionately affect African Americans. Compounding these critical issues is the racial discrimination that pervades the U.S. voting system and silences the voices of the communities that are most affected. In several primary elections across the country, there has been a breakdown in election processes—including closed polling places, mail ballot voting hurdles, and malfunctioning voting equipment—causing outsize harm to African American communities. It is important for elected officials to ensure that every American can fully exercise their constitutional right to vote, especially during a pivotal election year. Secretaries of state, although perhaps not the most well-known public officials, serve as the gatekeepers of free and fair elections across the United States. As the top election administrators in most states, they face unprecedented hurdles to running safe elections during a pandemic, on top of their responsibility to ensure that elec- tions are inclusive and accessible. The decisions that secretaries of state make can help determine whether every eligible American can vote and play a meaningful role in transforming the United States into a more just society.

  • Chronology of Women in the West Virginia Legislature
    Chronology Wof men in the West Virginia Legislature 1922-2020 West Virginia Legislature’s Office of Reference & Information, Joint Committee on Government & Finance. 2019. Chronology of Women IN THE West Virginia Legislature When the first woman was elected to office in the mountain state in 1922, West Virginia couldn’t have prepared for the unstoppable force that would become the female politicians the state has to offer. Since Mrs. Anna Gates’s election as a Delegate in 1922, hundreds of empowered women from all over the state have won elections and held a seat in the statehouse, where they helped to craft the policies that have shaped West Virginia for decades. Without the courage and stamina of these women to challenge the men who occupied these seats and hold their own on the chamber floors, West Virginia would look drastically different today. This extensive Chronology of Women in the West Virginia Legislature helps to commemorate the legacies of the hard-working and powerful women who overcame societal expectations to make a difference in the state that they loved and called home. Revised NOVEMBER 2019 7 Delegates 1920s (4 elected, 3 appointed) Delegates 1922 - 1 Delegate (elected) Mrs. Tom (Anna) Gates (D) Kanawha, elected (First woman elected to the West Virginia Legislature.) 1924 - 2 Delegates (both elected) Mrs. Thomas J.

The bill is on the agenda for Senate Judiciary Committee at 3:00 p.m. today. Bill Introduction The bill was developed by the CAWV Legislative Committee to mandate that West Virginia is the location where construction must be resolved if a List of Bills Introduced Last Week party to a West Virginia construction contract breaches that contract. Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania have legislation that voids any language in a boilerplate contract that forces in state firms to resolve any disputes in the state where the project owner resides, thereby requiring the contractor or subcontractor to hire out of state counsel. Below is a fact sheet on S.B. 673 detailing the purpose of the bill and why legislators should vote YES. Members can relate instances where they have either had to resolve a dispute in another state or decided not to take action due to the cost involved with litigating the claim in another state. At the end of this week’s Legislative Bulletin is a list of Senators and their contact information. PLEASE TRY TO CONTACT SENATORS BY 1:00 P.M. TODAY, MARCH 22.
