Prior to that time only Republican Claude R. Kirk, Jr. (1967-71)and Prohibition Party Candidate Sidney J.Catts (1917-21) had been able to break a pattern of Democratic Party domination that began after the reconstruction era. A lifelong resident of Tampa, Governor Martinez was born on December 25, 1934. He attained political promi- nence in 1979when he was elected Mayor of his native city. He topped a field offive candidates without a runoff in that election, and was reelected in 1983by capturing 81 percent of the vote. During his terms as Mayor he was credited with a con- servative approach to government that lowered property taxes, decreased the number of city employees and improved the quality of life. His official biography points out that Tampa was chosen as one of ten "megatrend" cities of the future by author John Naisbett during the Martinez administration, and "its robust diversified economy has become a model for growth. " Governor Martinez is a Past President of the Florida League of Cities, and he served on the Board of Directors of the National League of Cities. President Ronald Reagan appointed him to the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. He also served on the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies, and as Vice Chairman of the Southwest Florida Water Management District.

    Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Jennifer E. Manning Information Research Specialist Colleen J. 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).

  • 1 from Vulnerability to Violence
    FROM VULNERABILITY TO VIOLENCE: GANGS AND ‘HOMICIDE BOOMS’ IN TRINIDAD AND BELIZE1 Adam Baird2 Cite as: Baird, A. (2020) From Vulnerability to Violence: Gangs and ‘homicide booms’ in Trinidad and Belize, Urban Crime. An international Journal (forthcoming) Abstract At the end of the 1990s gang driven homicide rates in Belize and Trinidad boomed and today remain amongst the highest in the world. That these homicide booms occurred as drug transhipments increased, makes casual connections between drugs and violence an intuitive and frequent assumption. This article argues that the role that drugs transhipment plays in sparking transitions to violence is often assumed and overstated, and alone is a weak predictor of violence. The comparative research presented finds that historic, chronic vulnerability in the poor neighbourhoods of eastern Port of Spain and southside Belize City played a defining role in the rise of street gangs; whilst increased lethality is directly attributable to inflows of firearms, which had different transhipment routes and political economies to drugs when homicide booms occurred. Ominously, once a violent street culture is established, it is resilient, guns stay, gangs evolve, and homicide levels persist. Keywords: Gangs, Trinidad, Belize, homicide, drug transhipment, drug trafficking 1 Based on two research projects: Breaking Bad: How transnational drug trafficking creates violent masculinities in local Caribbean communities in Port of Spain. Funded by the ‘Partnership for Conflict, Crime, & Security Research’ program, Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), and; From transnational crime to local insecurity: How drug-trafficking penetrates communities and creates violent masculinities in Belize.
