Leading the Senate in the 110th Congress
The 2006 midterm elections were nothing short of stunning. Republicans lost control of both chambers of Congress. More surprising than Democratic gains in the House were their gains in the Senate. In order to achieve a majority in the Senate the Democrats needed to reelect all of their incumbents and elect Democrats in three out of four competitive states, all of which had supported George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential elections (Missouri, Mon…
Committee Assignment Politics in the U.S. Senate
The extant literature on committee assignments in Congress focuses primarily on assignments in the House. This paper explores committee assignments in the Senate. In contrast to most other works on the topic, we employ the committee requests of senators to determine factors that influence committee assignment success. Earlier research by Charles Bullock (1985) examined request data for the period 1953 to 1971; our data cover the period 1953 to 19…
Self-Selection Reconsidered
Distributive theory is perhaps the dominant paradigm for understanding committee organization and behavior in Congress. Central to distributive theory is the assertion that members will self-select to committees based on constituency related concerns; however, few studies have tested this assumption and those that have focus primarily on the behavior of House Democrats. We use committee request data from both Democratic and Republican members, co…
A Place at the Table
This research examines the success of women House members in achieving requested committee assignments by using an extensive data set on the committee requests of members of the U.S. House between the 86th and 103rd Congresses. In contrast to previous research, these data allow insight into the committees that women would preferto sit on and the committees that they are assignedto by their party leadership. We hypothesize that the representative …

The Joint Impact of Race and Gender on Police Department Employment Practices
In this study of police departments in southern California we examine the joint effects of race and gender on hiring practices. Although we find some similarities between the employment patterns of African-American and Hispanic officers, our most noteworthy findings involve the sharp differences between the factors which affect the hiring of different groups of individuals for sworn officer positions. The research presented here also improves on …
