    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).

    Is It Working? Narrative Perspectives on Performance-Based Funding Policies in Public Higher Education

    IS IT WORKING? NARRATIVE PERSPECTIVES ON PERFORMANCE-BASED FUNDING POLICIES IN PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION by James Capp A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the College for Design and Social Inquiry in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2019 Copyright 2019 by James Capp ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The unrelenting support of my loved ones bears most of the credit for this work. Years ago, over some pints on Atlantic Avenue, I shook Cara Jean Capp’s hand as a sign of our commitment to embark on this endeavor. My doctoral studies left her carrying the brunt of parenthood and marriage. Running on intermittent sleep, she often left the house before sunrise to meet in the Everglades with presidents, senators, and governors. Yet she read the awful drafts and offered me honest guidance. She kept the coffee on the stove when the nights were long. We survived loss, and miracles, and broken bones, and a flood. All the while, she was my rock. Thank you for your strength and grace, Cara. I also owe my family immense gratitude. The Piccirillos have loved me as their own, offering me stability when I needed it most. The Capps have muddled through some of life’s most trying times and come out more resilient. Most of all, I’ve got three bonafied blessings in Virginia Ellen, Nora Elizabeth, and the new soul I’m very much looking forward to meeting next spring. At night when I finished writing or came home late from class, I stopped at your beds to thank God for each of you.

    August 11, 2021 Dear Chairman Mcdaniel: We Are Proud to Present

    August 11, 2021 Dear Chairman McDaniel: We are proud to present to you the Report of the Temporary Committee on Election Integrity (“Committee”). We are both honored that you entrusted us to lead this crucial initiative. Over the past six months, the Committee and subcommittees met regularly to review our election processes and the Republican Party’s role within them. We consulted numerous experts, tasked committee members with obtaining feedback from their states, conducted independent research, and deliberated over countless hours to develop this report. We hope our work on the Committee adds another chapter in our proud record as America’s party of voting rights and trustworthy elections. The Committee’s work can be broken down into three main functions. One, we wanted to learn from the past, so a post-mortem of the 2020 election was needed to ensure we could digest the unprecedented challenges and changes to strategize for the future. Two, we studied best policies and practices for election administration in order to make sound recommendations for state legislatures and policymakers. Third, we studied and made recommendations for the RNC’s and state parties’ role in protecting and promoting election transparency and voter integrity. We also want to ensure we recognize properly the work of the 24 Committee members who gave countless hours of their time and who made this report possible. We particularly want to thank our subcommittee chairs Jane Brady, Mark Kahrs, Debra Lamm, and Jason Thompson for their hard work drilling down into key topics. The subcommittees’ work provides a treasure trove of useful and valuable information that the RNC can utilize moving forward.

    THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT Page 1 of 6 **FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** December 23, 2019 Asolo Rep Proudly Presents THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT The 2018 Broadway Hit Runs January 22 - March 19 (SARASOTA, December 23, 2019) — Asolo Rep proudly continues its winter repertory season with the recent Broadway sizzling hit dramedy THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT, by Jeremy Kareken & David Murrell and Gordon Farrell. Directed by Asolo Rep Associate Artistic Director Celine Rosenthal, THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT previews January 22 and 23, opens January 24 and runs through March 19 in rotating repertory in the Mertz Theatre, located in the FSU Center for the Performing Arts. At a high-end, struggling magazine, millennial fact-checker, Jim, is eager to prove he has what it takes to his demanding editor, Emily. His first assignment: to fact check a groundbreaking essay by a famous author that offers a glimmer of hope to the publication's future, reeling from dwindling circulation and shrinking ad sales. But as he dives into the article, he discovers that the essay is riddled with inaccuracy after inaccuracy, and so begins the heated battle between truth and fact and right and wrong. “THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT is remarkably pertinent – it hits right on the pulse of what is going on today in the world of media and politics,” said Asolo Rep Producing Artistic Director Michael Donald Edwards. “It is one of the best plays I’ve seen recently, packed with razor-sharp dialogue and unexpected twists and turns that will keep audiences laughing, guessing and gasping.
