Their job is to engage H a pile of cold facts then fix their analytical gaze on issues lying just beneath the surface that tend to escape broader consideration. In fact, historians often take note of events, things or people whom others might find mundane, uninteresting or even silly. But it is far more than a recitation or chronicling of fact and data or even a recounting of narrative. Historians challenge the records; they ask penetrating questions. They want to know what the facts mean, what they can tell us about our past, and hopefully, how history illuminates our present. The History Department at University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center has made a habit of producing astute and curious history students who are unafraid to ask the tough questions and seek a broader understanding of our past. The academic year of 2006-2007 is no different, and this year’s authors are as diverse as one could imagine. Our authors ask us to examine the effects of technology on our society from the way we paint our houses to the impact and meaning of the invention of the electric guitar on culture and gender. What role did technology play in shaping the Soviet Union and its economic policies as partially seen through the lens of literature? Politics and economics are well-known forces, but what role did they play in shaping the European perceptions of South America in the seventeenth century or wilderness in twenty-first century Colorado? And finally, what are we to do with the remnants of an industry overtaken by technology and economics? It would be difficult to imagine a more diverse set of authors and subjects, but they all share space in this year’s Historical Studies Journal. Much thanks goes to the faculty members who challenged and encouraged their students and submitted papers they thought worthy of consideration. A special recognition goes to Dr. Rebecca Hunt and Dr. Michael Ducey for encouraging students and reading page proofs. The authors put in a considerable amount of extra time and effort refining their citations and honing their writing. The editorial staff poured over submissions, then made thoughtful recommendations and revisions, all the while learning a great deal about the publication process. A special appreciation goes to Shannon Fluckey, graphic designer with Clicks! Copy & Printing Services, whose thoughtful creativity shaped the cover and who endured ridiculously short deadlines. And many thanks to Dr. Tom Noel for his expertise and support through the entire process. The History Department at UCDHSC deserves special credit. For more than twenty years, the department has recognized the value the Historical Studies Journal provides students. Without the Journal, authors and editors would have fewer opportunities for practical publishing experience. We are all richer for the opportunities.

    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).

Two members of the Save The Poudre Coalition – Gary Wockner and Mark Easter, both from Larimer County – were brought to the nation’s capitol by the national rivers group, American Rivers, to lobby the Colorado congressional delegation on behalf of the Cache la Poudre River and other American river issues. Wockner and Easter visited with the staff of Congressmembers Marilyn Musgrave, Mark Udall, Ken Salazar, John Salazar, Diana Degette, Ed Perlmutter, and Wayne Allard. Wockner and Easter made one specific request about the upcoming environmental impact statement on the Northern Integrated Supply Project – to have a full and fair public comment period of six months. “The NISP/Glade project is potentially devastating for the Cache la Poudre River and for Fort Collins’ economy,” said Gary Wockner. “The public deserves a full and lengthy review period to study and analyze the EIS. We asked our Congressional delegation to ask the Army Corps of Engineers for a full and fair comment period.” When the draft EIS comes out in a few months, it will have taken over three years to complete and cost over a million dollars.

  • An Overview of My Internship with Congressman David Skaggs and How This Set a Course for My Career in Political Campaigning
    Erin Ainsworth Fish Summer 2016 Independent Study Course An overview of my internship with Congressman David Skaggs and how this set a course for my career in political campaigning. By my senior year at CU I had changed my major twice and had gone from dreaming of a career as a journalist and traveling the world working for National Geographic, to serving in the Peace Corp and teaching English in West Africa. I was all over the map as far as picking out a career for myself and couldn’t hone in on one area of interest. I excelled in foreign languages and history but there didn’t seem to be a job which I could envision in those areas and my father wasn’t too subtle about what he’d like me to pursue by sending me articles on beginning salaries for lawyers. He was a maritime lawyer and felt that the law was a perfect career. I had settled on a major in Political Science as I had always been interested in government and my mother was particularly active in local politics. She had a heavy influence on my knowledge of current affairs and our dinner conversations were about the war in Iran and the Ayatollah Khomeini, the Civil Rights movement which she was passionate about, or we’d discuss the Kennedy assassinations and what that meant to her generation. Politics and American Government felt familiar to me and it seemed like a natural progression to major in political science. However I knew I didn’t want to pursue a career in the law and yet nothing stood out as an “aha!” job for me and with that came a constant level of anxiety.

The race between two attractive, respected, and qualified candidates was something of an oddity in the often dysfunctional 2010 campaign cycle. Staged on the battleground of a competitive district in an electorally relevant swing state, the race between Republican Cory Gardner and Democratic incumbent Betsy Markey was a partisan fight for political momentum. The Democratic Party made inroads in the 4th District by winning the congressional seat in 2008 for the first time since the 1970s. Rep. Markey’s win over Republican incumbent Marilyn Musgrave was supposed to signal the long-awaited arrival of progressive politics in the district, after Rep.
