Susanna Madora Salter (1860-1961), also known as Dora Kinsey and Dora Salter, was the first woman elected as town mayor in the United States of America in 1887 when she was voted to office in Argonia Kansas. Throughout her life, Susanna Salter was also politically active and served as president of the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). - Salter's election reflected the growing political influence of women in Kansas and the nation as well as the rising concerns of the political establishment, conservative organizations, and men in an era increasingly granting rights .... Despite some community resistance, Salter's candidacy was strongly supported by women's groups, the WCTU, and Republican Party members. Her election led to local,

One of the major factors that contributed to the victory of Doug Jones was his opponents sexual assault accusations. In the recent political climate regarding sexual assault and the #metoo movement, people have been more aware about sexual abuse, which has caused an outpour of support for victims and shame for attackers. Perhaps if this scandal was never brought to light, or never happened, Roy Moore would have won the election because, after all, Alabama is a “red” state, and it is rare that Alabama votes democratic. Roy Moore actually did not put as much funding into his campaign as Doug Jones did because he was a republican and he was aware that he was campaigning in a republican state; after all, a democrat had not been in elected in

Previous representatives include Ben Chandler, who was a Democrat and served from February 17th, 2004 to January 3rd, 2013, and Ernie Fletcher, who was a Republican and served from January 3rd 1999 to December 8th, 2013 after resigning when elected Governor of Kentucky. In very recent years, from 1979 to present, Representatives have had a “tug-of-war” game with elected Representatives’ party affiliations switching from Republican to Democrat between every election. However, from 1979 to 1866, Kentucky’s 6th district was represented solely by Democrats with only one Republican representative being elected within 113 years. During this time, in 1931, Kentucky 6th congressional district was changed to an at-large district and continues to use the at-large voting system to this

The New York Times and the Richmond Daily Dispatch were two newspapers active during the American Civil War with the Times reporting from New York City in the Union and the Dispatch Reporting from Richmond, Virginia in the Confederacy. They frequently reported on similar issues but had different ways of presenting the information. On the date of October 14, 1863 several key areas show this difference. These areas would be the reporting on the war, the type of local news being reported, and the ads and classifieds present in the paper.

To make sure they win a majority vote in every single district, they redraw the boundaries, so there is a slight majority of their supporters

Republicans won again in a tight race against the Democrats, taking away 56% of the overall votes in the polls. However, Democrats ended up with only 5 out of the 18 seats in the House of Representatives (Gerrymandering Rigged). By winning 44% of the overall votes, the Democrats were only able to represent 27% in the House of Representatives due to the congressional districts drawn up by Republicans. This shows how large of an effect gerrymandering can have when used to its fullest extent. There is an uneven proportion of representation in the House of Representatives due to the congressional districts drawn up by whichever political party is in office.

The 2012 presidential campaign was a very rocky campaign for the candidates of both parties all the way up to Election Day. In particular Mitt Romney’s campaign was filled with many gaffes that had a huge impact on his campaign which at some points ended alienating the members of his own party. Despite President Obama being seen as the underdog because of the fact that he was running a campaign in the midst of a slowly recovering economy he was able to claim victory in the end. Overall the 2012 Presidential campaign was filled with many campaign decision and gaffes that ended up causing harm to both sides of the race but it is Mitt Romney’s campaign decisions in particular that ended up causing the most publicity and therefore the most negative

Devolution of the legislature into a full-time body was accompanied by a major expansion of it support staff. Those in the Illusional he concentrate on pending legislation and research where as staffers in the legislators home district offices spend much of their time on constituents problems. Legislature spend much of their time and committees. He cites the standing committees staffers assist more than 60 select committees that address Nero issues and nine joint committees to coordinate to house party efforts. Defenders of the system counter that this staffing arrangement help compensate for a week party organizations and then for missing gaps associated with rapid legislative

The Press and American Politics in the 1790s Most Americans during the early 1790s deemed newspapers to be important to the republic’s well-being – it provided a medium via which the elected officials and the public could connect, find out what issues were at hand, and formulate policies that were influenced by logical, informed deliberation. In the 1790s, newspaper editors and correspondents, then new individuals with a new perception of occupation as political journalists and activists, facilitated in formation of a new populace for politics and in communicating to it new notions regarding national identity as well as partisan identity. Almost instantaneously, however, the emergence of an unusual sort of reporting mystified this prospect. Incited by conflicting plans for the new republic’s future, rival groups surfaced in George Washington’s government and Congress; during the mid-1790s, each group had created opinionated newspapers defending its stance.

In 1873, Susan B. Anthony gave an infamous speech on women’s right to vote. She talks and gives examples of her being a citizen, and every citizen should have the right to vote. She’s trying to show people that her voting wasn’t a crime, in order to convince them that women should be able to vote along with men. She uses a very firm and disappointed tone throughout her speech, more to get her point across to the people she is talking to.

The biggest difference between the House and Senate is that only the former faces redistricting. But the gerrymander-inequality connection stands on the same logic: the New York Fed study found that polarization in the House correlates more closely with inequality than in the

We all have complaints in life. So what it 's human nature to complain about why did Donald Trump this, why did Nikki Haley that, why did the other team when, why did they get the promotion at work. We all do it, not that complaining is a trait we should be proud of. However, those things don 't matter in 25 years Nikki Haley will not be governor of the great state of South Carolina and Trump will be 94 years old assuming he is still alive.

America is regarded highly in the world, due to its economic, political, as well as social development. As countries mature politically, voter turnout is expected to increase. This is the case for most industrialized nations who experience an average voter turnout above 70%. However, it is troubling to see that America still lags below 60% in voter turnout. Viewed as one of the healthiest democracies in the world, the United States is always referred to as an example that other countries should follow.
