    Retired United States Congressmen from the State of Michigan

    Retired United States Congressmen from the State of Michigan Submitted by Joshua Koss To The Honors College Oakland University In partial fulfillment of the requirement to graduate from The Honors College 1 Abstract Conventional wisdom in the study of members of Congress, pioneered by Richard Fenno, argues that one of the chief goals of elected officials is their reelection. However, this theory does not account for those who willingly retire from Congress. Who are these former members and what activities do they pursue once they leave office? To answer the first question, this project analyzes data on retired members of Congress from the state of Michigan regarding the years they served, party identification, and their age of retirement. The second and perhaps more interesting question in this research, examines the post-congressional careers of former members of Congress and whether their new line of work has any connections with their time in Congress through committee assignments and issue advocacy. In addition to quantitative analysis of the attributes of former members and their post-congressional careers, a qualitative analysis is conducted through a comparative case study of retired Senator Donald Riegle and former Representative Mike Rogers. This aspect of the study more closely examines their respective career paths through congress and post-congressional vocations. 2 Introduction In 1974, Democratic Congresswoman Martha Griffiths announced her retirement from the House of Representatives citing her age, 62, as a key motivation for the decision. After this, Griffiths would serve two terms as Michigan Lieutenant Governor before being dropped off the ticket, at the age of 78, due to concerns about her age, a claim she deemed “ridiculous” (“Griffiths, Martha Wright”).

    H.Doc. 108-224 Black Americans in Congress 1870-2007

    Keeping the Faith: AFRICAN AMERICANS RETURN TO CONGRESS, 1929–1970 With his election to the U.S. House of Representatives from a Chicago district in 1928, Oscar De Priest of Illinois became the first African American to serve in Congress since George White of North Carolina left office in 1901 and the first elected from a northern state. But while De Priest’s victory symbolized renewed hope for African Americans struggling to regain a foothold in national politics, it was only the beginning of an arduous journey. The election of just a dozen more African Americans to Congress over the next 30 years was stark evidence of modern America’s pervasive segregation practices. The new generation of black lawmakers embarked on a long, methodical institutional apprenticeship on Capitol Hill. Until the mid- 1940s, only one black Representative served at any given time; no more than two served simultaneously until 1955. Arriving in Washington, black Members confronted a segregated institution in a segregated capital city. Institutional racism, at turns sharply overt and cleverly subtle, provided a pivotal point for these African-American Members— influencing their agendas, legislative styles, and standing within Congress. Pioneers such as Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., of New York, Charles C. Diggs, Jr., of Michigan, and Augustus (Gus) Hawkins of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., of New York, a charismatic and determined civil rights proponent in the U.S. House, served as a symbol of black political activism for millions of African Americans.

    1 TWEETING RACIAL REPRESENTATION: How The

    TWEETING RACIAL REPRESENTATION: How the Congressional Black Caucus used Twitter in the 113th Congress Alvin B. Tillery, Jr. Department of Political Science and Department of African American Studies (by courtesy), Northwestern University Acknowledgements: I would like to thank Laura Day, Ana Estrada, and Alice Welna for their assistance with this research. Abstract In recent decades Twitter has emerged as both a vehicle for political expression and powerful tool for political organizing within the African American community. This paper examines the extent to which members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) utilize Twitter to communicate with their constituents about racial issues. An analysis of CBC members’ tweets during the 113th Congress (2013-2014) shows that the organization’s members do talk about race and occasionally use racially distinct hashtags. It also shows that CBC members talk about racial issues much less than they talk about other issues. Moreover, statistical models show that the best predictors of a members’ engagement with racial issues on Twitter are being a woman, the size of their margin of victory in the 2012 elections, and the percentage of whites living within the boundaries of their district. Keywords: Black Members of Congress; Black Twitter; Congressional Black Caucus; Race Relations; Representation; Twitter 1 INTRODUCTION The rise of social media in the last two decades has transformed human social interactions in a number of ways (Couldry 2012; Lovejoy and Saxton 2012; O’Keeffe and Clarke-Pearson, 2011; Van Dijck 2013). In the political arena, social media platforms like FaceBook and Twitter have become important resources for organizing protest activities (Della Porta and Mosca, 2005; Eltantawy and Wiest, 2011 Langman 2005).
