I Get By with a Little Help from My Friends: Leveraging Campaign Resources to Maximize Congressional Power
Central to the study of Congress is the study of relationships among members. Electoral collaboration is a function of a member's position in the broader congressional power network. It allows members to leverage their campaign resources to achieve the four classic goals of members of Congress: reelection, making good public policy, obtaining power within the institution, and having one's party in the majority. Using nearly 3.2 million FEC record…
Cue‐Taking in Congress: Interest Group Signals from Dear Colleague Letters
Why do some pieces of legislation move forward while others languish? We address this fundamental question by examining the role of interest groups in Congress, specifically the effect of their legislative endorsements in Dear Colleague letters. These letters provide insights into the information that members use to both influence and make policy decisions. We demonstrate that endorsements from particularly well‐connected interest groups are a st…
Dynamic Conditional Correlations in Political Science
Time‐varying relationships and volatility are two methodological challenges that are particular to the field of time series. In the case of the former, more comprehensive understanding can emerge when we ask under what circumstances relationships may change. The impact of context—such as the political environment, the state of the economy, the international situation, etc.—is often missing in dynamic analyses that estimate time‐invariant paramete…
The Keys to Legislative Success in the U.S. House of Representatives
Our research addresses how individual member behavior and institutional variables affect legislative success in the U.S. House of Representatives.

We find that a member's activity level encourages legislative success, but gains are limited when members speak or sponsor too frequ…
