Vote Scorecard Dear Voter and Friend of the Family F AMILY RESEA R CH COUNCIL 107th CONGRESS U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate Vote Scorecard Dear Voter and Friend of the Family, Family Research Council presents our vote scorecard for the 107th Congress. This score- card contains a compilation of significant votes representing a cross-section of issues affecting the family that occurred in the U.S. House of Representatives during the Second Session of the 107th Congress in 2002, and votes that occurred in the U.S. Senate during the entire 107th Congress (2001 and 2002). This scorecard serves as an important tool in showing you how your elected officials voted on some of the most important issues facing the family. It is important to remember, however, that the votes you see here are only a few of the hundreds of recorded votes which members of the House of Representatives took in 2002 and members of the Senate took during the two year period spanning 2001 and 2002. With this in mind, we have tried to single out for inclusion the most clear-cut, pro-family and anti-family votes that came before Members of Congress. This scorecard marks the end of the 107th Congress but it does not mark the end of our work on the issues explained inside. Our efforts to defend and protect faith, family and freedom continue. While we maintain a constant watch of what is taking place in our nation’s capitol, we rely upon you, informed and active constituents, to work with us in contacting your members of Congress on pro-family issues. There is no greater asset in the battle to pre- serve the American family than an informed and involved citizenry. Thank you for choosing to be involved; we can’t do it without you. Connie G. Mackey Vice President of Government Affairs * Recorded votes as of September 23, 2002. FRC will score several votes taken after September 23 that will be reflected on the Federal Legislation page of our website (www.frc. org) under the tab, “Key Votes.” The outcome of the following votes could change the rat- ings of Members of Congress: Abortion Non-Discrimination Act (H.R. 4691), Back to School Tax Relief Act (H.R. 5193), Houses of Worship Political Speech Protection Act (H.R. 2357), Bankruptcy Reform Act (H.R. 333), and amendments to appropriations bills. scorecard legend house membership changes during this session + Voted With FRC Position James Traficant (D-OH) Expelled July 24, 2002. - Voted Against FRC Position John Sullivan (R-OK) Elected January 8, 2002 to + Voted With FRC Position replace Steve Largent (R-OK). on All Votes n Did Not Vote senate membership changes during this session p Present Not Voting James Jeffords (I-VT) Changed his party affiliation to * Not in Office Independent on June 5, 2001.

    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).

  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • 1 “Knock the EPA Out!” Environmental Politics and Community Identity In
    “Knock the EPA Out!” Environmental Politics and Community Identity in Appalachian Ohio* In May 1988, millions of Americans tuned into a special edition of the Oprah Winfrey Show broadcast from a small town in southeastern Ohio, a region hard hit by industrial and mining losses. “They were middle class people, once earning good money in the coal mines [and] in the steel mills,” the show’s opening sequence declared as Rust Belt imagery flashed across the screen. “But the rug was pulled out from under them. They never imagined themselves standing in welfare lines, never imagined relying on food stamps.” As they discussed the problems of job losses in the area, many in the audience, especially those laid-off from the region’s mines, mills and power plants, blamed new environmental regulations, particularly the Clean Air Act, and envisioned a return to the industrial past. “The whole bottom line is: knock the EPA out!” railed one audience member. “We want work. We don’t want the clean air. We want the factories back. We want the mines back.”1 The late 1960s and early 1970s were a golden age for the communities of southeastern Ohio. Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, local residents benefited from an upswing in mining employment prompted by the increased use of coal in electricity production.
