We find that party chairs and voters respond similarly to candidates’ positions on economic policy and abortion. However, chairs from both parties appear to underestimate voters’ willingness to support candidates who support stricter gun laws. We also see differences on how chairs assess candidates who signal a willingness to compromise: Democratic chairs are more likely to choose compromisers, but Republicans are less likely to do so. That said, chairs in both parties underestimate their voters’ willingness to choose “compromiser” candidates. Chairs’ apparent misperceptions about what voters demand may lead them to unintentionally seek out or promote candidates whose dispositions fail to mirror voters’ preferences.","PeriodicalId":314673,"journal":{"name":"Small Power","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129794548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chapter 8 assesses whether chairs view women candidates as less viable, as well as whether voters are less inclined to support women candidates. The experimental findings offer little support for the notion that chairs systematically view women candidates as less likely to win, a pattern that is consistent with the (lack of) gender effects that emerge among voters. This said, although some of the chairs interviewed in person said they view gender as irrelevant, most viewed women candidates as tending to have distinctive advantages and, in some cases, disadvantages. The most common theme that arose in the interviews was the perception—consistent with evidence from existing work—that women candidates tend to be more qualified and harder working, entering a race only when they are well-prepared and conditions are ripe.","PeriodicalId":314673,"journal":{"name":"Small Power","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132578715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine the relationship between local party activity and outcomes in races for state legislature and Sheriff, as well as for federal elections. Our evidence indicates that local party efforts can affect both federal and local election outcomes. Notably, these relationships only emerge in contexts where the party is electorally disadvantaged. This suggests that party efforts in areas where the party is unlikely to win elections at the county level are particularly likely to improve the electoral fortunes of their party’s candidates up and down the ballot. This underscores the ability of small local parties to project their power outward, with ripple effects that shape broader politics at all levels of American government.","PeriodicalId":314673,"journal":{"name":"Small Power","volume":"197 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122388674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Local party organizations play a crucial role in the electoral process by identifying prospective candidates, including those who may have never considered running for office. Chapter 4 reports findings from the interviews and survey of chairs and demonstrates that chairs actively search for people from their communities to run for low-level offices. These efforts have immediate consequences in terms of who ends up in local office, as well as downstream consequences in that experience in local office is often a stepping stone for those who ultimately run for higher office. If chairs can convince their targets to run, they then provide advice and support to aid fledgling campaigns. From the perspective of a neophyte candidate who may know practically nothing about how to organize a campaign, this early advice can provide an important boost.","PeriodicalId":314673,"journal":{"name":"Small Power","volume":"7 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132432714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
