2009-2010 CONSERVATION REPORT CARD Evaluating the 111th Congress efenders of Wildlife Action Fund Deducates the public about conservation issues and generates grassroots efforts to ensure that members of Congress and the president hear from constituents on pending legislation and regulations. Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund advocates in Washington, D.C., for legislation to safeguard wildlife and habitat and fights efforts to undermine conservation laws, such as the landmark Endangered Species Act. The Action Fund also publishes the Conservation Report Card to help citizens hold their legislators accountable by providing information on how lawmakers voted on important conservation issues. An online version of the Conservation Report Card, which contains detailed and updated information about key votes, is available at www.defendersactionfund.org Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund is a 501(c)(4) organization with a segregated Section 527 account. © 2011 Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund 1130 17th Street, N.W.

It reviews six Senate votes and seven House votes on key conservation issues, providing a clear assessment of how well members of Congress are protecting wildlife and wild lands for future generations. The2009-2010 Conservation Report Card covers votes on important issues such as protecting polar bears, the world’s imperiled wild feline and canine species, and California sea otters; safeguarding wildlife and habitat in sensitive borderlands; addressing the impacts of climate change on wildlife; regulating greenhouse gas emissions; upholding the Endangered Species Act; and drilling for oil off our coasts. Use this report card to examine what your elected representatives are doing to conserve our natural heritage for our children and grandchildren. A more detailed online version, updated after every key vote, is available at: www.defendersactionfund.org. 1 Undermining the Endangered Species Act and Polar Bear Protections The Senate rejected an amendment that would have delayed the administrative reversal of Bush administration rule changes that weakened the Endangered Species Act and limited protections for the listed polar bear. (March 5, 2009, Roll Call No. 82) 2 Walling Off Sensitive Borderlands and Wildlife The Senate passed an amendment to the FY 2010 Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill that would have required the building of at least 700 miles of reinforced fencing and doubled the number of miles of wall along the Southwest border. (July 8, 2009, Roll Call No. 220) 3 Attacking the Endangered Species Act The Senate rejected a motion that would have prevented the implementation of two biological opinions protecting endangered and threatened salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, delta smelt and orcas in California under the Endangered Species Act. (September 22, 2009, Senate Roll Call No. 292) 4 Expanding Offshore Drilling The Senate rejected a motion to expedite drilling in long-protected waters along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. (September 23, 2009, Senate Roll Call No. 293) 2 Conservation Report Card 2009-2010 SENATE key issues & votes 5 Harming Borderlands Wildlife by Requiring More Walls The Senate rejected a motion to suspend Senate procedures and permit consideration of a harmful 2010 Supplemental Appropriations Act amendment that would require at least 700 miles of reinforced fencing along the Southwest border. The fencing would replace the more wildlife-compatible vehicle barriers that now form about half of the existing border wall. (May 27, 2010, Roll Call No. 172) 6 Blocking EPA from Regulating Greenhouse Gas Pollution The Senate rejected a resolution that would have prevented the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating greenhouse gas pollution under the Clean Air Act to protect the nation from the dramatic impacts of climate change.

    Brownback Picks Jacob Laturner As New State Treasurer Body

    Page 1 of 2 Brownback picks Jacob LaTurner as new state treasurer Brownback picks Jacob LaTurner as new state treasurer The Wichita Eagle (Kansas) April 18, 2017 Tuesday Copyright 2017 The Wichita Eagle All Rights Reserved Section: politics_government Length: 580 words Byline: Jonathan Shorman The Wichita Eagle Dateline: TOPEKA Body Sen. Jacob LaTurner of Pittsburg will be the new state treasurer, replacing Ron Estes, who won the 4th District congressional special election last week. In picking LaTurner, Gov. Sam Brownback chose someone who has been a reliably conservative vote in the Legislature. This session, LaTurner has sided with the governor on taxes and Medicaid. LaTurner's departure could alter the dynamics of the Senate, depending on who replaces him. Republican leaders in LaTurner's district will gather in the coming days to choose his successor. LaTurner will also be among the youngest statewide officials in Kansas at 29. "What I commit to Kansans is I'm going to surround myself with wonderful people and work very hard and Kansans are going to be able to receive quality services," LaTurner said. LaTurner called the position "humbling and exciting." He said he plans to run for a full term in 2018. The state treasurer manages a college savings program, runs an effort to return unclaimed property and provides general administrative oversight of state finances. The position typically attracts little controversy. While the state treasurer is elected, the governor has the power to appoint a new treasurer if the position is vacated. "I know Jake to be a fine man, a skilled public servant and a fiercely loyal Kansan," Brownback said.

    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).
