The Effects of Leadership Positions on Votes for Incumbents in State Legislative Elections
This paper investigates the impact of holding a party leadership position or being a committee chair on votes for incumbents in state legislative elections in 1986. The results of the analysis indicate that majority party members who hold these positions of authority enjoy a greater electoral advantage than expected in their states. Leadership positions do not offer the same advantage to minority party legislators, however

Sophomore Surge in State Legislative Elections, 1968-86
An analysis using district-level data for more than 5,100 cases of freshman legislators seeking reelection in 32 states shows considerable evidence of a sophomore surge phenomenon during the 1970s and 1980s. First-term legislators in both upper and lower houses in nearly all of the states were found to benefit from surge when the analysis was controlled for statewide party swing. A multivariate model of individual-level surge across states is est…
Interparty Competition in the U. S. States
The article examines patterns of interparty competition at the district level in legislative elections occurring in the American states during the 1970s. Data were collected for more than 90% of the district contests during the period. Results are reported by year, state, and chamber. Included are data on mean Democratic vote percentages, proportions of marginal districts, and proportions of uncontested districts. Democratic means were found to h…
Congressional Television
Using a format closely resembling a legislative history, Ronald Garay traces the progress of congressional television from its inception in 1922, when the first resolution seeking approval to broadcast House floor proceedings was introduced, to 1979, when legislation allowing that coverage was finally passed. Garay presents the major arguments that have been voiced, both inside and outside Congress, in support of or in opposition to televising co…
Covering Congress
What many Americans know about the United States Congress, and consequently their evaluations of it, come in some considerable measure from their reading of newspapers. In this analysis of the coverage of Congress in ten metropolitan newspapers, Professor Tidmarch and Mr. Pitney observe that while much of the news about Congress is neutral, a significant amount of it is likely to be negative
Press Issue Agendas in the 1982 Congressional and Gubernatorial Election Campaigns
This article reports findings from a content analysis of press coverage of U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and gubernatorial election campaigns in twelve metropolitan newspapers for a one-month period in the autumn of 1982. The primary focus of the research is upon which public policy issues were most extensively covered in each type of race in each newspaper. It was found that House and Senate campaign agendas exhibit some similarity, although certain …
The Missing Beat
Campaign press coverage is a potentially important influence on voters in congressional elections. This paper compares coverage of U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and gubernatorial campaigns in eight metropolitan newspapers during a one-month period in 1978. Analysis shows that House campaigns are given considerably less attention than Senate and gubernatorial races, that incumbents are more likely than challengers to receive coverage, and that the most…
