The Time Legislators Spend Fundraising for Themselves and for their Caucuses:
Modeling Institutional, Personal and Political Effects in State Legislatures
Lynda W. Powell
Department of Political Science
University of Rochester
Abstract: A simple model of the relationship between campaign contributions and political influence is developed that allows the derivation of a variety of implications relating the time members spend raising funds for themselves and for their legislative caucuses to institutional and political characteristics of legislative chambers, to personal characteristics of legislators and political characteristics of their constituencies. Using data from a national survey of state legislators, Bayesian multi-level models are utilized to test hypotheses generated by the model. Paper prepared for delivery at the 2008 Annual Meetings of the American Political Science Association, August 30, Boston, MA I would particularly like to thank Mark Fey for advice on the formal aspects of this paper. All the errors are of course my own.
