  • Retired United States Congressmen from the State of Michigan

    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”).

Dutton, Senate Minority Leader Greg Maw, Senate Republican Policy Director For providing gainful employment that I enjoy. Gregory P.

Jessica Billingsley, Senate Republican Floor Manager For extraordinary patience with research projects that never end. Richard Paul, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For hospitality and good friendship. Wade Teasdale, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For understanding the importance of Bradley and Dilworth. A Note from the Author An important thing to keep in mind as you read this book is that there is information missing. In the first two decades that California’s legislature existed, we had more individuals serve as legislators than we have in the last 90 years.1 Add to the massive turnover the fact that no official biographies were kept during this time and that the state capitol moved seven times during those twenty years, and you have a recipe for missing information. As an example, we only know the birthplace for about 63% of the legislators. In spite of my best efforts, there are still hundreds of legislators about whom we know almost nothing.

    Regents Recap Highlights of the Activities and Official Actions of the Louisiana Board of Regents February 28, 2005 Louisiana College Student Leaders Attend Presidential Inauguration Louisiana was well represented at last month’s presidential inauguration in Washington. Among other distinguished Louisiana attendees who braved the cold to witness the historical event were twenty members of the Louisiana Council of Student Body Presidents (COSBP). The group took advantage of the opportunity to visit several members of Louisiana’s congressional delegation as well. COSBP is a statewide organization of Louisiana public college and university Student Government Association and Student Bar Association presidents aimed at helping ensure that Louisiana’s colleges and universities remain responsive to the needs of students and that student opportunity for academic and career success is optimized. “It was an honor to represent Louisiana and our respective institutions in Washington, and to see first-hand the president and vice president of the United States sworn into office,” said Kimberly Ludwig, Louisiana Tech SGA president and statewide COSBP chair. “We all felt very privileged and thankful to all the members of the Louisiana legislative delegation who made our trip possible.” Ludwig also serves as the student board member on the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors. On the day before the inauguration, the group enjoyed visits with Louisiana’s two U.S. Senators, Mary Landrieu and David Vitter, and with Louisiana Congressmen Rodney Alexander, Richard Baker, Charles Boustany, Bobby Jindal, and Jim McCrery. “The trip was a great civics and history lesson,” said Katie Ortego, SGA President at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

    Buying Influence, Selling Death

    BuyingBuying Influence,Influence, SellingSelling DeathDeath Campaign Contributions By Tobacco Interests Quarterly Report: October 2004 Campaign Contributions By Tobacco Interests Quarterly Report: October 2004 These quarterly reports provide regular, detailed updates of the tobacco industry's campaign contributions to sitting members of Congress, candidates for federal office, political parties, leadership PACs and other political action committees. Each issue also provides additional information on the tobacco companies' political influence, including analyses of the correlation between these contributions and the tobacco-related legislation that members of the U.S. Congress support. Quarterly Highlights • So far in the 2003-2004 election cycle1, the tobacco industry has given nearly $2.8 million in PAC contributions to federal candidates, political parties and other political action committees. Since 1997, tobacco interests have given more than $28.7 million in political donations to federal candidates, national parties and non-party political action committees. • In the 2003-2004 election cycle to date, tobacco company PACs have donated more than $1.4 million directly to federal candidates.2 Overall, 74 percent of the tobacco PAC contributions went to Republican candidates. In the 2001-2002 election cycle, these PACs donated $2.4 million directly to federal candidates, with 77 percent ($1.8 million) of the total donations going to Republican candidates. • Tobacco PACs have also donated nearly $1.3 million to non-candidate committees so far in the 2003-2004 election cycle. Donations to non-candidate committees include nearly $467,000 to Democratic and Republican party committees, $758,500 to leadership PACs established by individual members of Congress and more than $74,000 to other non-party committees (including PACs associated with a particular issue, industry or ideology).
