Using the results of a mail survey of legislators in eight states, the authors indicate how legislators represent their local officials in the state administrative process. The intervention of legislators on behalf of local officials is discussed from the perspective of its effects on representation in the administrative process, the neutral competence of administration, and executive leadership within administration. Legislator intervention is common. The intervention is found to be a threat to neutral competence and executive leadership; however, in giving local officials from the smaller jurisdictions a greater voice in administration, intervention may promote balance in representation
