Citizen Participation and Congressional Responsiveness: New Evidence that Participation Matters
This article examines the influence of citizen participation, specifically voter turnout, on congressional policy responsiveness.

Representatives respond to these signals by deploying resources in ways that provide better intelligence of district needs and preferenc…
Hearing Campaign Appeals: The Accountability Implications of Presidential Campaign Tone

Using the 2000 presidential campaign, I find that the accumulated issue emphasis …

General Social Survey data from ten years, paired with presidential policy…
