California's Legislature and the people who have served in it have an amazingly rich history. Some have held positions of national importance like Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger or US Supreme Court Justices Joseph McKenna and Stephen J. Field (all of whom served in the Assembly). Henry G. Worthington, an Assemblyman elected in 1862, would later serve as a pallbearer at the funeral of Abraham Lincoln. Not all these stories end well. California legislators have also been fatally wounded in a bar brawl or died in a drunken canoeing accident. Current through the start of the 92nd Session (2017-18), this is the story of the 4,424 men and women who have served in the California Legislature. In addition to the current session, this book explores the history of the legislature since 1849.

Download Legislative Effectiveness in the United States Congress Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book explores why some members of Congress are more effective than others at navigating the legislative process and what this means for how Congress is organized and what policies it produces. Craig Volden and Alan E. Wiseman develop a new metric of individual legislator effectiveness (the Legislative Effectiveness Score) that will be of interest to scholars, voters, and politicians alike. They use these scores to study party influence in Congress, the successes or failures of women and African Americans in Congress, policy gridlock, and the specific strategies that lawmakers employ to advance their agendas.

This is the story of Ralph Morrell, a retired U.S. Navy chief warrant officer who made a second career of bird-dogging California lawmakers and exposing everything from simple disingenuousness to blatant dishonesty and questionable legality by members of the California Legislature. Morrell sincerely believes in the value of upholding the tenets of this country's founding documents. He also honestly believes that too often these tenets are being ignored and/or trampled upon in the political arena. Lawmakers accused him of acting irresponsibly and in the process doing damage to the integrity of the Legislature and to the public's perception of government. Morrell, in fact, at times acted akin to Don Quixote, flailing at proverbial political windmills. But the message in this story is clear: never underestimate the persistence of an angry determined citizen. Ralph Morrell clearly gave the California Legislature a fight for a full accounting of the people's money.
