Abstract

ABSTRACT We consider how gendered evaluations of candidates shape potential donors’ support of hypothetical candidates for the state legislature. Using an experimental design, we test two pathways by which candidate gender can influence the support and donations received by candidates. Potential Democratic donors consistently evaluate women more positively than men. These positive evaluations translate into a slight fundraising advantage for women. There is also evidence that potential Democratic donors support women candidates more than men when candidates receive the same evaluations. Potential Republican donors consistently provide poorer evaluations to women candidates compared to men. However, these weaker evaluations do not translate into a net advantage or disadvantage for Republican women. Potential Republican donors provide Republican women with higher levels of support and donations than they would to Republican men who receive similar evaluations.

性别候选人评估和竞选捐款

我们考虑候选人的性别评估如何影响潜在捐助者对州立法机构假设候选人的支持。通过实验设计，我们测试了候选人性别影响候选人获得的支持和捐赠的两种途径。民主党的潜在捐助者始终对女性的评价比男性更积极。这些积极的评价转化为女性在筹款方面的轻微优势。也有证据表明，当候选人得到同样的评价时，潜在的民主党捐赠者会更多地支持女性候选人。与男性相比，潜在的共和党捐赠者对女性候选人的评价一直较差。然而，这些较弱的评价并不能转化为共和党女性的净优势或劣势。潜在的共和党捐赠人对共和党女性的支持和捐赠水平高于对获得类似评价的共和党男性的支持和捐赠水平。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
