The Ryan White Act in Dallas
Virtually every locality affected by the AIDS epidemic has had to confront changes in the demographics of the disease, shifts in federal priorities, and medical advances in AIDS treatment. Creating a consistent federal policy has proven difficult because the epidemic manifests itself differently in virtually every locality it invades. As a result, some local caseloads increasingly are dominated by intravenous drug users and others by gay men. In …
A Demand-Side Perspective on the Importance of Representative Bureaucracy: Aids, Ethnicity, Gender, and Sexual Orientation
In a polity that relies on representation to achieve a semblance of democracy, the composition of a non-elected arm of government such as the bureaucracy is important. In recent years, public administration scholars have addressed the topic in a number of ways. The well-substantiated premise undergirding this work in each case is that bureaucrats exercise discretion that makes a difference in the bureaucracy's outputs (e.g., Skolnick, 1966; Hedge…
National Mandates and Local Nonprofits: Shaping a Local Delivery System of HIV/Aids Services
This paper shows how federal resources and mandates concerning the HIV epidemic combined with the political economy and political culture of Dallas, Texas to create a distinctive local HIV/AIDS service system. The infusion of federal funds allowed nonprofit organizations to expand their services, especially in the areas of economic assistance and social services. In addition, funding to minority agencies and services to minority clients were expa…
Explaining Contributions: Rational Contributors and the Elections for the 71st Texas House
Because the rules and structures that affect policy making differ greatly from one state legislature to the next, the dynamics of contributing to the candidates may differ in corresponding ways. Contributors presumably make rational decisions about what investments will gain them influence. Although there is some evidence about rational contributing in Congress, there is little evidence to date at the state legislative level. Here we explore the …
Local Advantage in Campaign Financing: Friends, Neighbors, and Their Money in Texas Supreme Court Elections
In introducing the concept of "friends and neighbors" politics, Key described the phenomenon of localism and reported that local candidates win by greater margins in their own regions as a result of name recognition and common bonds developed over time. Since then, applications have been limited to explaining voting behavior with mixed results. This paper argues for extending the concept into the realm of campaign finance. In this case, "friends …
Minority legislators and institutional influence
Although the frequency of studies on Black and Mexican-American legislators has increased, little emphasis is given to the institutional politics which impact these groups. This analysis compares the political behavior and views of Blacks, Mexican-Americans and Anglos in the environmentally stable setting of the Texas House and finds that even in a system that treats minorities fairly in terms of distributing influence positions, minority members…
