The legislation of the state of Arizona is bicameral, with a Senate and a House of Representatives. Each Senator and Representative is elected for a two year term.

In this documentary we learn about the different views politicians have when running for many offices. Particularly, in this film, we see the diverse opinions from Rick Green, a republican and Patrick Rose, a democrat. These two politicians are running to become the Texas state representative and do so by many ways of campaigning.

Texas governors are not as powerful as some people think. Their personality and appearance matter the most when being considered for a vote. The governor is seen the most rather the other officials, which is why their personality and appearance is so important. Governors used to be able to serve a 2 year term but that changed in 1974. The service term increased by 2 years. Rick Perry was elected in 2000 and is Texas’ longest serving governor. To be an eligible candidate the aspiring governor should be at least 30 years of age. Usually, the governor is a white, mid-age, male. Over time things changed when Miriam Ferguson and Ann Richards were elected. To be a candidate you must also be a U.S. citizen and at least lived in the state 5

The Texas Legislature members cannot hold another official government office. In addition, the members must meet specific criteria such as voter status, citizenship, and district residence. Although all the large criteria required in order to become a member, millions of Texas residents occupy these legal qualifications. Biographical data, however, has advised that numerous individuals recent to Texas Legislatures have informal qualifications which are restricting opportunities for election.

1 They have different platform of political parties as Democratic party and Republic party. 2 Texas Senate is the upper house of Texas state legislature whereas Texas house is the lower house of Texas state legislature. Texas State consists of 31 members and 150 members in Texas house of representatives. I am currently living in Irving, in which the district is 16 as senate districts where Don Huffines is the current senator of the district which is a part of Dallas county. 3 He is from Republican party. 1 So, I would prefer to run as Texas state senate. 4 In

First is the executive branch. The executive branch is often referred to as a “plural executive” because many of the offices in that branch of government are elected directly by Texas voters. The Executive Department of the State is composed of the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Comptroller of Public Accounts, the Commissioner of the General Land Office, the Attorney General and the Secretary of State, all of whom are elected except the Secretary of State (who is appointed by the Governor). The current governor of Texas (48th) is Republican Greg Abbott, a former lawyer and former Attorney General. In order to be the governor of Texas, one must be at least 30 years of age, a US citizen, a registered voter, and must be living in Texas for at least the last 5 years. Being Governor is a 4 year term with no term limits and is a full time job with a salary of $150,000 per year. The Governor has powers including some law enforcement powers, some military powers, the title of “Head of State” who gives the State of the State Address, can appoint department heads like the department head of Park and Wildlife and Department of Transportation, and he

The Lt. Governor of Texas is Dan Patrick. He was elected in 2014 as a “principled and committed conservative” (Lieutenant Governor of Texas Dan Patrick). He “is leading the fight to secure the border, reduce property and business taxes, and address our state’s infrastructure challenges to assure that Texas continues to flourish economically” (Lieutenant Governor of Texas Dan Patrick). “As Education Chairman in the 83rd Legislative Session, Lt. Gov. Patrick passed some of the most far-reaching education reforms in decades, tackling the problems of failing public schools and giving parents more choices for their children” (Lieutenant Governor of Texas Dan Patrick). Prior to serving as Lieutenant Governor, Patrick “was twice elected to the Texas Senate from District 7 in Houston and Northwest Harris County” (Lieutenant Governor of Texas Dan Patrick). During the 84th legislative session,

The state house of Texas requires a person to be a U.S. citizen, 21 old or over, 2 years resident of Texas and 1year resident prior to the elections. Watching over the past, the current representative for state house Matt Rinaldi is a republican. In 2012, the district was represented by Bennett Ratliff who was also a republican. Matt Rinaldi is proving his strong presence by winning the seat for two times in the election of 2014 and 2016. This shows that the republicans have very strong voter population in this district. Running for the House, I believe that my ideologies regarding the political values are more democrats which would make it harder to win in this district. However, looking to the general election of 2012, President Obama who was a democrat received more votes from this district. This shows that the voters of this district have a mixed kind of political

If I were to become a senator of Texas I would have to be at least thirty years of age, have been a citizen for nine years, and live within the state of Texas. Since the Senate consists of a hundred members, two per state, I would be one of two people to be elected for Texas State Senator.I would be active six terms and would make $174,00 a year. A Congressional Session usually last most of the year. The Senate met 136 days through the course of ten months according to Congress.gov.

A bicameral legislature is when there is a House of Representatives and a Senate. In the Minnesota Legislature, the Senate has 67 members, based on the number of districts, and in the House there are 134 members, double the number of Senators. On the contrary, the United States Senate has 100 member members, 2 per state, and the United States House of Representatives has 438 members, based on population. In order to be in Minnesota Senate or House, a candidate must be 21 years old, qualified to vote in Minnesota, one year Minnesota resident, and a resident in the district they are running for, 6 months before the election. For the federal government, to run for the Senate you must be 30 years old, a citizen for nine years and a resident of the state that they are running for. Members of the house must be at least 25 years old, a citizen of the United States for seven years and a resident of the state they are running in. The job of the legislative branch is to make laws, and that is true at both the state and federal level. On the other hand, the job of the Executive branch is to enforce the

These 435 seats are divided among the states every ten years. Representatives serve for two years at a time, and every second November there is a new election where they are chosen by the people in a direct election. (1) The House is required to choose a Speaker for itself who is in charge over the proceedings of the House and is the highest position in the House leadership. Other leadership positions are the Majority and Minority Leaders, and the Majority and Minority Whips. The Minority Leader would generally be the Speaker if his party were the majority.(1) The whips act as a median between the leadership and the other House members. The Senate is the Upper House and its members are called Senators. The qualifications for Senators are similar to those of house representatives, he or she must be 30 years old or older, must have been a U.S. citizen for nine years, and must live in the state they plan to represent.There is again no restriction of sex, race, class, social standing, or any other classification, for both a Senator or House representative . Each state has two Senators, no matter what the size of the state happens to be. A Senators term lasts six years and like the other house members every second November there is a new election. The Vice President of the United States is the President of the Senate but he is a non-voting member unless a vote of the Senate ends in a tie which causes him to cast the deciding vote. If the Vice President is not available

Hypothesis 1: Hiring managers are hiring Caucasians for Senior Level Executive positions over minority applicants.

According to a report from the federal bipartisan Glass Ceiling Commission (1995), 95% to 97% of senior managers of Fortune 1000 industrial and Fortune 500 companies are men, yet white males make up only about 43% of the workforce. The same study reported that only 5% of senior managers in the Fortune 2000 industrial and service companies are women. These commission findings are especially striking since women make up nearly half of the workforce (www.highbeam.com).
