Product Description

Self-Financed Candidates in Congressional Elections (Contemporary Political And Social Issues)

Many Americans have asked this question in the face of skyrocketing campaign spending by candidates and parties. Then, in the 1990s, came a wave of wealthy individuals whose deep pockets seemed to be buying political offices across the country. Our worst suspicions were confirmed. Or were they? What effect do self-financers really have on electoral outcomes? Jennifer Steen's authoritative empirical study of self-financed candidates is a landmark in American politics. Steen thoroughly disproves the notion that self-funded candidates can buy a legislative seat, proving that the vast majority of self-financers do not win their elections. Instead, her book gives us a truer understanding of self-financers' actual influence on campaign competition and rhetoric.
