All in the family? Assessing the impact of child gender on congressional behavior
We examine the impact of having a daughter on the legislative behavior of members of Congress using original biographical data from 1973 to 2015. Previous research has produced mixed results. We leverage the random assignment of child sex as a natural experiment and expand the analysis by incorporating members' overall roll call voting, voting on women's issues, and sponsorship of women's issues bills. We also replicate and extend Ebonya Washingt…
Paying for child care on the campaign trail: Attitudes toward the use of campaign finances for personal expenses
The US Congress is unrepresentative of the people it serves, and reforming campaign finance law may be a path toward a more representative institution. We examine public opinion toward allowing candidates to use campaign funds for child care, theorizing gender conditions support due to the unequal burden child care places on women. Using an experiment, we find people are more supportive of candidates using campaign funds for child care when the h…
Appointees versus Elected Officials: The Implications of Institutional Design on Gender Representation in Political Leadership
We explore how institutional design, whether a position is elected or appointed, influences women's representation in state executive leadership positions, including cabinet secretaries and heads of bureaucratic agencies. We expect this relationship is conditional on if the position addresses a stereotypically feminine or masculine policy area. As women are less politically ambitious and perceive electoral disadvantages in running for masculine p…
Diversity and Power: Selection Method and Its Impacts on State Executive Descriptive Representation
This article explores diversity within top leadership positions in state governments, specifically, the role that position selection method plays in promoting the inclusion of racial and ethnic minorities into positions of power. We hypothesize that minorities will be more likely to serve in appointed positions as governors consider diversity in making appointments and less likely to serve in elected positions due to the additional hurdles for ca…
Mentoring the Next Generation of Women Candidates: A Field Experiment of State Legislators
This experiment sent state legislators an email from an individual seeking advice on running for office, varying the gender and party of the sender. This project explores two inquiries—who the legislators choose to respond to and how the legislators’ own gender and partisan identities shape that decision. I theorize that women in politics is a salient issue for legislators; therefore, they will be more willing to advise politically ambitious wome…
Gender Attitudes, Support for Teachers’ Strikes, and Legislative Elections
In the past 25 years, education funding in Oklahoma has stagnated. In some schools, students learn about American politics from tattered textbooks in which George W. Bush is listed as the current president (Hendry and Pasquantonio 2018). Across the board, teachers are grossly underpaid, yet many are compelled to buy school supplies with their own funds (Felder 2018a). Moreover, in one out of five schools, students come to class only four days a w…
Jumping on the Trump Train or Ditching the Donald: Campaign Rhetoric and the 2016 Congressional Election
The 2016 general election presented an unusual challenge to Republican congressional candidates: whether to market one’s campaign as aligned with or against Donald Trump’s controversial candidacy. In this paper, we determine what district and member-level factors influence candidate endorsements of Trump for president. Second, we study if the endorsements hurt candidates on Election Day. We find that underlying political partisanship, as measured…
