    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).

    Political History of Nevada: Chapter 1

    Political History of Nevada Chapter 1 Politics in Nevada, Circa 2016 37 CHAPTER 1: POLITICS IN NEVADA, CIRCA 2016 Nevada: A Brief Historiography By EMERSON MARCUS in Nevada Politics State Historian, Nevada National Guard Th e Political History of Nevada is the quintessential reference book of Nevada elections and past public servants of this State. Journalists, authors, politicians, and historians have used this offi cial reference for a variety of questions. In 1910, the Nevada Secretary of State’s Offi ce fi rst compiled the data. Th e Offi ce updated the data 30 years later in 1940 “to meet a very defi nite and increasing interest in the political history of Nevada,” and has periodically updated it since. Th is is the fi rst edition following the Silver State’s sesquicentennial, and the State’s yearlong celebration of 150 years of Statehood in 2014. But this brief article will look to examine something other than political data. It’s more about the body of historical work concerning the subject of Nevada’s political history—a brief historiography. A short list of its contributors includes Dan De Quille and Mark Twain; Sam Davis and James Scrugham; Jeanne Wier and Anne Martin; Richard Lillard and Gilman Ostrander; Mary Ellen Glass and Effi e Mona Mack; Russell Elliott and James Hulse; William Rowley and Michael Green. Th eir works standout as essential secondary sources of Nevada history. For instance, Twain’s Roughing It (1872), De Quille’s Big Bonanza (1876) and Eliot Lord’s Comstock Mining & Mines (1883) off er an in-depth and anecdote-rich— whether fact or fi ction—glance into early Nevada and its mining camp way of life.

    PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Their Government

    PPICPPIC STATEWIDESTATEWIDE SURVEYSURVEY FEBRU ARY 2004 Californians and Their Government ○○○○○ Mark Baldassare Research Director & Survey Director Public Policy Institute of California The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) is a private operating foundation established in 1994 with an endowment from William R. Hewlett. The Institute is dedicated to improving public policy in California through independent, objective, nonpartisan research. PPIC’s research agenda focuses on three program areas: population, economy, and governance and public finance. Studies within these programs are examining the underlying forces shaping California’s future, cutting across a wide range of public policy concerns, including education, health care, immigration, income distribution, welfare, urban growth, and state and local finance. PPIC was created because three concerned citizens – William R. Hewlett, Roger W. Heyns, and Arjay Miller – recognized the need for linking objective research to the realities of California public policy. Their goal was to help the state’s leaders better understand the intricacies and implications of contemporary issues and make informed public policy decisions when confronted with challenges in the future. PPIC does not take or support positions on any ballot measure or on any local, state, or federal legislation, nor does it endorse, support, or oppose any political parties or candidates for public office. David W. Lyon is founding President and Chief Executive Officer of PPIC. Raymond L. Watson is Chairman of the Board of Directors. 500 Washington Street, Suite 800 • San Francisco, California 94111 Telephone: (415) 291-4400 • Fax: (415) 291-4401 [email protected] • www.ppic.org Preface The PPIC Statewide Survey series provides policymakers, the media, and the general public with objective, advocacy-free information on the perceptions, opinions, and public policy preferences of California residents.

    How California’s Congressional Delegation Voted on Immigration Reform ca. 1986 As the comprehensive immigration reform effort moves forward in Congress, how did California’s congressional delegation vote on the last major reform legislation – the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986? Forward Observer reviewed the Congressional Record and media reports from the summer and fall of 1986. The final bill, known as Simpson-Mazzoli, passed the Senate by a vote of 63 to 24 and passed the House by a vote of 238 to 173. It was signed into law by President Reagan on November 6, 1986. Of the 47 members of the California delegation, 33 voted in favor of the final bill and 13 voted against it (and one member did not vote): Democrats voted in favor 19-9. Republicans voted in favor 14-4 with Rep. Badham not voting. Twice as many Democrats (9) as Republicans (4) voted against the final bill, but majorities of both parties supported the comprehensive package (68% of Democrats; 78% of Republicans). Only three members who served in Congress at the time remain in office. Two voted for the bill – Rep. George Miller (D-11) and Rep. Henry Waxman (D-33). Sen. Barbara Boxer, then representing the state’s 6th district as a Representative, voted against. The key elements of Simpson-Mazzoli required employers to attest to their employee’s immigration status, made it illegal to hire unauthorized immigrants, legalized certain agricultural illegal immigrants, and legalized illegal immigrants who entered the United States before January 1, 1982, after paying a fine and back taxes.

Ct. 876 deemed corporations to be people; and WHEREAS, the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court overturned a longstanding precedent prohibiting corporations from using general treasury funds to influence our elections, candidate selection, and policy decisions; and WHEREAS, since the Citizens United ruling, Americans have witnessed a massive influx of corporate money into our political process that is without precedent in our nation’s history; and WHEREAS, the Citizens United case directly impacts state and local effortso tcontrol the influence of corporate money in their own elections; and WHEREAS, the Citizens United ruling and its far reaching effects represent serious and direct threats to our democracy; and WHEREAS, the Constitution empowers the people and states to use the constitutional amendment process to correct decisions of the Supreme Court; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED, that the San Diego City Council respectfully disagrees with the majority opinion and decision of the United States Supreme Court in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission and calls upon the United States Congress to propose and send to the states for ratification a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United v.
