    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).

Azzoli Marist College 845.575.5050 This Marist Poll Reports: NY U.S. Senate Race: Schumer Leads Townsend by 28 Percentage Points Among Likely Voters U.S. Senate candidates Chuck Schumer and Jay Townsend will faceoff in a debate this Sunday night on the Marist College Campus. And, according to this Marist Poll of New York State voters, Schumer is the odds-on favorite to win re-election. He receives the support of 63% of the state’s likely voters including early voters and those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate while Townsend has 35%. One percent plans to vote for someone else, and 1% is undecided. Schumer has widened his lead. When Marist last asked about this race in September, 59% of likely voters including those who were undecided yet leaning toward a candidate backed Schumer, 38% supported Townsend, and 3% were undecided. Among likely voters not including those who were leaning toward a candidate, Schumer received 58% to 37% for Townsend. 5% were undecided. “While many Democratic U.S. Senators are fighting for their political lives elsewhere, that’s not so for Senators Schumer and Gillibrand in New York,” says Dr. Lee M.Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. “Both lead their GOP challengers.” Among likely voters including early voters and those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate, there is a partisan divide.
