    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).

  • The Underestimated Oregon Presidential Primary of 1960
    The Underestimated Oregon Presidential Primary of 1960 By Monroe Sweetland 0 PresidentJohn E Kennedy on a visit to Astoria, Oregon, in September 1963 This content downloaded from 71.34.78.7 on Mon, 25 May 2020 18:39:50 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms The Friday in Oregon that Made Kennedy President In 1964, Monroe Sweetland, Oregon journalist and legislator and one of thefirst Kennedy organizers in Oregon, wrote this piece about the significance of the 1960 Oregon Primary. Friday, May 20, 1960, was a judgment day which could bring impetus or disaster to the Kennedy-for-President campaign - the Democratic Primary in Oregon. The bandwagon had been rolling well. Each of the six contested primaries - six potential roadblocks - had been cleared. From the beginning in New Hampshire through the rugged battles with Senator Hubert Humphrey in Wisconsin and West Virginia, the Democratic voters had thawed and then warmed to John E Kennedy. Just as the Oregon Trail had been bordered long ago with the bleached bones of those who tried but didn't quite make it, Kennedy's campaign craftsmen knew that defeat in Oregon could be decisive. The growing image of Kennedy as "a winner" could be extinguished by a rebuff in Oregon as convention-time neared. Oregon was the last of the seven contested primaries. It was the only primary testing opinion in the Far West - that terra incognita, to the Bostonians, which lay beyond the Farm Belt. To the Kennedy forces Oregon did not look good, but it couldn't be avoided.

    marsh output_Doern art 12-04-14 5:45 AM Page 1 MARSH “I am especially pleased to know that Tom Marsh has done painstaking research to bind our history in this tome; perhaps we will learn from our past and forge ahead with positive results for generations to come.” —GERRYFRANK The first comprehensive political history of Oregon, To the Promised Land TO THE PROMISED LAND also examines the social and economic changes the state has pioneered during its almost two hundred years. Highlighting major political figures, campaigns, ballot measures, and the history of legislative sessions, Tom Marsh traces the evolution of Oregon from incorporated territory to a state at the forefront of national environmental and social movements. From Jason Lee’s first letter urging Congress to take possession of the Oregon Country to John Kitzhaber’s precedent-setting third term as governor, from the land frauds of the early 20th century to the state’s land-use planning goals, from the Beach Bill to the Bottle Bill, this book tells Oregon’s story. Featuring interesting trivia, historical photographs, and biographical sketches of key politicians, To the Promised Land is an essential volume for readers interested in Oregon’s history. TOMMARSH taught high school history in Oregon for twenty-eight years. He represented eastern T O M M A R S H Washington County in the state legislature from 1975 to 1979, and has participated in numerous political campaigns over a span of nearly fifty years.

  • The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party: Background and Recent
    THE MISSISSIPPI FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY Background lnformaUon for SUpportive Campaigns by Campus Groups repared by STEVE MAX Political Education ProJect, Room 309, 119 Firth Ave., N. Y .c. 10003 Associated with Students for a Democratic Society THE MISSISSIPPI FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY: BACKGROUND AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS by STEVE IvlAX The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party was founded April 26, 1964 in order to create an opportunity for meaningful political expres­ sion for the 438,000 adult Negro Mississippians ~ho traditionally have been denied this right. In-addition to being a political­ instrument, the FDP provides a focus for the coordination of civil rights activity in the state and around the country. Although its memters do not necessarily· think in the se -terms, the MFDP is the organization above all others whose work is most directly forcing a realignment within the Democratic Party. All individuals and organizations who understand that ' when the Negro is not free, then all are in chains; who realize that the present system of discrimi­ nation precludes the abolition of poverty, and who have an interest in t he destruction of the Dixiecrat-Republican alliance and the purging of the racists from the Democratic Party are poteptial allies of the MFDP. BACKGROUND INFORMATION- The Mississippi Democratic Party runs the state of Mississippi _wit h an iron hand·. It controls the legislative, executive and judicial be nches of the state government. Prior to the November, 1964 elec­ tion all 49 state Senators and all but one of the 122 Representa­ tives were Democrats. Mississippi sent four Democrats and one Goldwater Republican to Congress last November.
