Marilyn C. Brewer (born May 26,1937) is a California politician who served from 1994 to 2000 as a California State Assemblywoman representing southern Orange County's 70th District.[ citation needed ]
Born in western Pennsylvania,Brewer earned her Associate's degree from Fullerton College in 1983. She served as an aide to Orange County supervisor Tom Riley until her election to the State Assembly.
In 1994 she ran for an open seat in the California State Assembly representing Newport Beach. [1] Her two more conservative rivals in the GOP primary,Irvine city councilman Barry Hammond and attorney Tom Reinecke (son former California Lt. Gov. Ed Reinecke) split the conservative vote,allowing the more moderate Brewer to win the primary. In the general election she received 71.7% of the vote .
In the State Assembly,Brewer served as Vice Chair of the Appropriations and Insurance Committees. She was also a member of the Rules,Human Services,Transportation,Governmental Organization,and Labor/Employment committees.
She was reelected twice more in 1996(61.5%) &1998 (95.7% with only opposition from a Natural Law Party candidate) before California term limits of three terms in the State Assembly led to her leaving the state house in 2000.
In 2005 Brewer ran in a special election for California's 48th congressional district left vacant after incumbent Congressman Christopher Cox resigned to become Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Brewer lost the nomination to State Senator John Campbell by a 28% margin,but did beat eight other Republicans in the primary election. Although she won the endorsement of John McCain,the Republican party chose to officially endorse Campbell after Brewer began to court independents and Democrats. The American Independent Party candidate,Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist,fell only 2.3% short of overtaking Brewer in the open primary.
In October 2006,California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed Brewer to serve as a member of the "Little Hoover Commission".

The Conservative Party of New York State is an American political party founded in 1962 following conservative dissatisfaction with the Republican Party in New York. Running on the Conservative Party line,James L. Buckley won election to the U.S. Senate in 1970 and served for one term. Since 2010,the party has held "Row C" on New York ballots—the third-place ballot position,directly below the Democratic and Republican parties—because it received the third-highest number of votes of any political party in the 2010,2014,2018,and 2022 New York gubernatorial elections. The party is known for its strategy of attempting to influence the Republican Party in a more conservative direction.
On August 2,2005,elections were held in Ohio's 2nd congressional district to choose a United States representative to replace Rob Portman,who had resigned his seat in April to become United States Trade Representative.

In the fall of 2005,a special election was held in California's 48th congressional district to choose a United States representative to replace Republican Christopher Cox,who resigned effective August 2,2005,to become Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. A Special primary election was held on October 4. Because no candidate received more than 50% of the vote,a runoff general election took place on December 6,2005. The top vote getter from each party moved to the runoff contest,which only required a candidate to receive a plurality of the vote. Republican candidate John Campbell ultimately won the runoff with only 44% of the vote,as there were three major candidates,rather than the usual two.
