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).

    2012 Political Contributions Report March 2013 A Message from Rich Bagger, Chairman, Celgene PAC I am pleased to share Celgene’s first political contributions report, which includes a listing of candidates and political committees supported by either the Celgene Corporation Political Action Committee (Celgene PAC) or Celgene Corporation during 2012. Beginning this year, we will issue political contribution reports twice a year, during the quarter following the end of each half of the year. Celgene established the Celgene PAC in March 2012. The Celgene PAC is a volunteer, nonpartisan, employee-run organization that provides opportunities for eligible employees to participate in the American political process. The Celgene PAC supports and contributes to candidates from both political parties who share our commitment to these core principles of access and innovation in health care: • Expanding access to medicines through a competitive marketplace and a regulatory environment in which innovation can flourish • Protecting the patient-physician relationship and ensuring patient access to innovative treatments • Recognizing the important role of biopharmaceutical companies and their employees in the ecosystem of innovation in health care The Celgene PAC Board of Directors, which is comprised of Celgene employees, meets monthly to consider recommendations for PAC support and approve all contributions to candidates and political committees. The Celgene PAC Board also reviews and approves any political contributions made by Celgene Corporation in states and to entities where contributions with corporate funds are permitted. During 2012, we supported 34 candidates from both political parties at the Federal and State levels. I hope you will take a few moments to review this report and see which candidates the Celgene PAC supported in your state.

  • 1 Redistricting and Congressional Control Following the 2012 Election

    1 Redistricting and Congressional Control Following the 2012 Election

    Redistricting and Congressional Control Following the 2012 Election By Sundeep Iyer On Election Day, Republicans maintained control of the House of Representatives. While two Congressional races remain undecided as of November 20, it appears that Democrats may have picked up about eight seats during the 2012 election,1 falling well short of the 25 seats Democrats needed to take back control of the House. Before the election, the Brennan Center estimated that redistricting would allow Republicans to maintain long-term control of 11 more seats in the House than they would have under the previous district lines.2 Now that the election is complete, it is worth re-examining the influence of redistricting on the results of the 2012 election. This brief assesses how the new district lines affected the partisan balance of power in the House. The report is the prologue to more extensive analyses, which will examine other aspects of redistricting, including the fairness of the process and its effect on minority representation, among others. Based on our initial analysis of the 2012 election, several important trends emerge: • Redistricting may have changed which party won the election in at least 25 House districts. Because of redistricting, it is likely that the GOP won about six more seats overall in 2012 than they would have under the old district lines. • Where Republicans controlled redistricting, the GOP likely won 11 more seats than they would have under the old district lines, including five seats previously held by Democrats. Democrats also used redistricting to their advantage, but Republicans redrew the lines for four times as many districts as Democrats.
