  • Is All Descriptive Representation Equal?: a Closer Look at Latino Representation in the U.S
    Is All Descriptive Representation Equal?: A Closer Look at Latino Representation in the U.S. House of Representatives Jennifer Garcia Graduate Student Department of Political Science University of California, Irvine [email protected] 1 Across the country, the ranks of Latinos are increasing in the Republican Party. The 2010 Midterm elections witnessed a record number of Latino Republicans elected to statewide and national office.1 Latino Republicans more than doubled in size in the U.S. House of Representatives, making up eight out of 27 Latino members in the 112th Congress. Yet, it is unknown whether their presence benefits Latinos. Although there is a general consensus among scholars that descriptive representation benefits racial and ethnic communities, it is also acknowledged that political parties significantly influence representation, at least for Blacks. Further, scholars have shown that political parties have become even more important in Congress. However, Blacks benefit from descriptive representation because Black representatives place racial and symbolic issues on the political agenda that are otherwise given little to no attention by non-Black representatives. This paper will take a closer look at the symbolic representation provided by Latino Republicans in the 112th Congress by examining bill sponsorship/co-sponsorship and floor speeches in the U.S. House of Representatives. A considerable amount of work has examined minority representation and its benefits. Some have emphasized the substantive benefits of descriptive representation by examining roll call votes, bills sponsorship/co-sponsorship, participation during committee hearings, and constituent services. Others have focused on the effect that descriptive representatives have on minority political behavior, showing that Latinos, like Blacks, are mobilized by co-ethnic candidates.2 Still others have focused on the symbolic benefits provided by descriptive representatives, finding that Black representatives provide the greatest amount of symbolic representation to Blacks (Tate 2003).

ML Strategies has compiled recent polling and punditry on the 2012 Presidential, Senate, and House races. The race to the White House grows closer as Election Day approaches. In the past week of polling, roughly half have shown a slight Obama lead while the other half has Romney slightly leading. The control of the Senate remains uncertain: with eight races remaining pure tossups, it is not clear which party will be the majority in the 113th Congress. The House will likely remain in Republican control with anywhere 226 and 228 seats already solid, likely, or leaning Republican seats; 218 are needed for a majority.

But now Rubio is beginning to draw some far less flattering reviews -- even comparisons in a few quarters to Johnnie Byrd, the most unpopular House speaker in recent memory. The grumbling follows a week in which Rubio, R-West Miami, removed two Republican lawmakers from their leadership positions after they voted against the insurance package the Legislature approved in its just-completed special session. The bill passed the House 116-2. Reps. Don Brown of DeFuniak Springs and Dennis Ross of Lakeland were forced to give up their posts as council chairmen -- the small group of legislators who make up most of the speaker's inner circle. Rubio replaced them with GOP Reps. Ron Reagan of Bradenton and Charlie Dean of Inverness. In a three-sentence statement, Rubio said Brown and Ross "offered" their resignations. But Ross said he offered his only after the speaker told him to, and that Rubio did so because of his insurance vote. Brown would not discuss the matter. The demotions aren't without precedent. In 2001, former House Speaker Tom Feeney, now a Republican congressman from Oviedo, stripped then-state Rep.

    WEEKLY WASHINGTON JANUARY 24TH - JANUARY 28TH, 2011 Below is an informal overview of the Weekly Washington activities of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs. CONGRESSIONAL MEETINGS OIA Director Joe Rasco was in Washington, DC this week to meet with Members of Congress and their staff to discuss several issues of importance including the Port of Miami’s deep dredge. This was an opportunity for OIA to reiterate Miami-Dade County’s goals and issues of importance for the 112th Congress with existing staff and to introduce the county to the new members and their offices. OIA met directly with Congresswoman Frederica Wilson to request that she continue to urge the Office of Management and Budget to include a nominal amount of construction funds in the Army Corps 2012 budget for the Port of Miami deep dredge project. OIA also discussed with the Congresswoman Haitian relief efforts, the agriculture freeze and the Miami Intermodal Center among many other issues. OIA also met with the staff of Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Director Rasco and OIA also took this opportunity to familiarize the staff of newly elected Senator Marco Rubio and Rep. David Rivera on the issues of critical importance to the county. Additionally, OIA met with the Federal lobbyists from Cardenas Partners LLC, Thurman Gould, LLC, Greenberg Traurig LLP and Alcalde & Fay to review the 2010 legislative accomplishments and to begin formulating and implementing the 2011 strategy. Included in these discussions were the Port of Miami’s deep dredge, repealing the 3% withholding law and several additional county related topics.

I invite every Florida citizen to visit the Senate chamber and walk the halls of the Capitol, which are lined with photographs recording the history that has shaped this great state. Your Florida Senate is composed of forty individuals from every walk of life. They are individuals who understand the great responsibility they have to serve Florida’s citizens. Coming from varied backgrounds and experiences, they gather on the Sen- ate floor with a deep sense of respect as equals. This dedicated group of diverse men and women is responsible for shaping public policy that impacts the future of all Floridians. It is with great pride and honor that I will lead this diligent group of Senators as we work together to take on the pressing issues that face us this legislative session. We are committed to maintaining a balanced budget that prioritizes needs over wants without increasing taxes on Floridians. I am confident that alongside the many leg- islative decisions we will have to make throughout the session, those that lie within education, health care, and public safety will remain our priority.
