The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies began compiling data on the number of black elected officials in the United States in 1970.

In the 1990 edition of this annual volume, black elected officials sworn into office for the 1990 term are listed by state and indexed alphabetically. There is also an overview of geographic distribution; female black elected officials; federal, state, substate regional, county, and municipal breakdowns. Blacks elected to judicial, law enforcement, and educational offices are also listed.

Maine Politics & Government
Author: Kenneth T. Palmer
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803287181
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Remote and thinly populated, Maine has been insulated from many of the demo-graphic and economic trends of states to the south. But Maine Politics and Government shows how rapidly this situation is changing. In the 1970s and 1980s, Maine?once dependent on agriculture, manufacturing, and maritime trades?underwent extensive commercial development. High-tech businesses and fashionable suburbs, concentrated in the southern counties, began to assert a new political force. The authors of this book view these changes in the context of the state's long history. Although Maine's population and economy have become more diversified, its public policies more complex, and its government more professionalized and centralized, there remains a remarkable degree of stability in political attitudes. And Maine still operates under its original 1819 constitution; the amendments added over time have largely maintained its original structure while allowing for changing conditions. This book illumi-nates the workings of Maine's executive, legislative, and judicial branches and its relations with the federal government, as well as local concerns, without losing sight of the Pine Tree State's uniqueness.
