Miriam Ferguson was the first female governor of Texas. She served two terms in 1927 and 1935. She decided to run after her husband’s impeachment and conviction. Her slogan for the first election’s campaign was “Me for Ma, and I Ain 't Got a Durned Thing Against Pa.” She beat her opponent with 58.9 percent of votes.

The Hispanic League is a cultural, educational and community-driven non-profit organization.

On April 29th, I had the privilege to interview the organization's executive director, Mari Jo Turner. Mari Jo Turner has been part of the Hispanic League for about five years now. Before joining the HL, in 1990, Mrs. Turner was a member of another non-profit organization called, Association for the Benefit of Child Development (ABCD).

The core function of the Texas Legislature is to formulate and enact laws. Apart from the enactment of laws, the legislative body is also mandated with the functions of shaping the state’s political agenda, performing checks and balances on state of the state’s government, pass the state’s budget, as well as oversee the functions of the administration. Similarly, the body also sets the critical details or a court’s organizational procedures when it comes to matters that pertain to impeachment and court disputes regarding election petitions. It is equally important to mention that the body is also mandated with the function of informing and educating the electorate regarding the critical functions the body is required to deliver to the people as provided for by the laws of the State of Texas (Dautrich and Yalof 684).

Texas will meet the increased demands placed on it by an ever-growing population with continuing to focus on and expanding the four industries (cattle, cotton, timber, and minerals) that have dominated its history. The expansion and increased revenue of these industries will help Texas sustain and even nurture its population growth. For years Texas politics has been dominated by individualism and traditionalism. The tradionalistic and individualistic cultures that abound in Texas can make this issue difficult to solve. Expansion often brings change in the many political and financial areas of these industries.. Texas individualists have a negative viewpoint of government and are against government involvement or regulation in industry and Texas traditionalists favor wealthy individuals and

At the beginning of every chapter, Brian McCall talked a little bit about how the new politicians took over the position of Texas governor, which is a clever way of the transition. Although he spent 45% of the time talking about the campaign, a fair number for me, sometimes he spent 60% of the time explaining how some governors won the election, for example, John Connally, Dolph Briscoe, and William Clements in his first term. It really helps me to get to know those governors better than just reading their achievements, and I think that 60% is a large number for the campaign only. His idea of using the campaign as the transition between two administrations is very smart. I like it and I think he did really well on it, and I also think that he should shorten that part. "The power of the Texas governor" revealed not only what the Texas governors did in their terms, but also their personalities, their views, and their working styles. And because his purpose was to show their characteristics, he spent a lot of time talking about their campaign and what they did to attract the support of people and the legislators. The book gave me a flashback of Texas politics and fantastic development. Thanks to his personal experience in politics, McCall walked readers through nine terms of Texas governors and explained how the office of governor run within the broader

Socorro Alvarez is the Hispanic Outreach Director at Western Avenue Community Center in Bloomington, Illinois. Mrs. Alvarez has been at the center for over 20 years. She came to the United States, from Mexico, when she was seventeen. She was the oldest in the family and her Father did not think she should go to high school or college. He thought she needed to find a husband and stay close to the family because it was her responsibility as the oldest. Espinoza (2010), states this is a common value in Hispanic families, that comes from the value Marianismo. This is a value that has an expectation that a “good Latina woman” will always place family above her own needs (Espinoza, 2010). Socorro says that her father encouraged the rest of the children to attend both high school and college.

Texas throughout its history, after becoming a state by gaining its independence from Mexico in the 1840s, has been democratic. “Final quarter of the nineteenth century, conservative Democrats maintained control of the state (9)”, but their ruling was based on white supremacy. Peoples race, ethnicity, gender, slavery, and socioeconomic status were major key point determinants in whether you had a say in politics. Any acts that were seen as rebellious such as the labor unions, were not acceptable they were seen as “abominations (pg 9)”, also any other political parties were seen as threats because they did not share the same ideology. It wasn’t until the 1950s when Texas became politically diverse. It was demonstrated that Liberals could win

Sonia Sotomayor’s book is about her life and her climb from the streets of New York to the place that she is today.

In this way, she has helped them by giving them an inspirational story that will be told for years to come, and she will be remembered for much more than her book.
