What is the breakdown of the ethnicity of voting members of the 115th Congress

History
1 answer:
Misha Larkins [42]3 years ago
3 0

Almost one-in-five voting members of the House and Senate are a racial or ethnic minority, making the 115th U.S. Congress the most diverse in history. And while Congress as a whole remains  disproportionately white when compared with the U.S. population, the racial and ethnic profile of newly elected members more closely resembles the increasingly diverse populace, according to a Pew Research Center analysis.

Overall, nonwhites (including blacks, Hispanics, Asians/Pacific Islanders and Native Americans) make up 19% of the current Congress. By comparison, nonwhite Hispanics and other racial minorities make up 38% of the nation’s population.

Minorities, however, account for 20 of 59 new members (34%) of the House and Senate. This represents a notable jump over the 114th Congress, when just 11 of 71 new members (15%) were aracial or ethnic minority and the Senate had no newly elected minority members. This year, three freshman senators are a racial or ethnic minority, along with 17 new members of the House.  hope this helps

makvit [3.9K]

The Port Huron Statement was to the Students for a Democratic Society what the Sharon Statement was to the Young Americans for Freedom.

<h3>What was the Young Americans for Freedom?</h3>

This refers to the social group which had the aim of influencing public policy and their values are consistent with the Sharon Statement.

Hence, we can note that just as the Port Huron Statement was to the Students for a Democratic Society what the Sharon Statement was to the Young Americans for Freedom because it talked about political freedom goes hand in hand with economic freedom.
