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).

  • KEVIN KAMENETZ April 13, 2017 County Executive Council
    KEVIN KAMENETZ April 13, 2017 County Executive Council Chairman Quirk, members of the County Council, and fellow residents of Baltimore County, good morning. Visitors to our Baltimore County website will find plenty of photographs. We put them there because each picture tells part of a story. There are images of a company joining our thriving business community, bringing new jobs and new economic opportunities. Images of a new neighborhood school opening, providing world class education to serve our ever-growing population. A groundbreaking for another affordable senior housing community, helping ensure our older adults can age with dignity and respect. A new nature center and new turf fields for young people – and kids of all ages. Retraining workers to find jobs in this technology-driven age. Each image is part of our broader story, showing the progress we have made together. And each gives us reasons to pause, to celebrate and to reflect. What often strikes me when I stand with a shovel at a groundbreaking or hold those big scissors at a ribbon cutting is Baltimore County’s size and scope. As county executive of Maryland’s third largest jurisdiction, I have the privilege to serve more than 830,000 residents who are committed to this place that we proudly call home. Our dedicated government workers truly get the job done. They’re teaching in our classrooms, they are patrolling our streets, they are issuing permits and, sometimes, they are literally in the trenches. To all our government employees, for all of the ways you contribute to our success, thank you for serving our County well.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.

During Fiscal Year 2012, the Montgomery County Commission for Women (“MCCFW”) worked to reorganize and celebrate the work of the Commission for the past 40 years. In a climate of serious County budget cuts, we started the year with the triumph of learning that, while included in the newly established Community Engagement Cluster, the MCCFW would maintain its autonomy of remaining an independent advisory board that reports to the County Executive and County Council. Although the office was maintained, we faced new challenges, including adjusting to the elimination of all staff positions except the Executive Director and relocating to a new office location while still trying to meet the needs of women and children.
