Abstract:
|
State legislators were surveyed and asked how much influence campaign contributions have on the content and passage of legislation in their chamber. These responses are used to develop a measure of influence for each of the 99 state legislative chambers. The measure is used to test hypotheses that relate characteristics of the legislatures to the magnitude of influence of money in the chamber. Specifically, legislative professionalization, the size of party majorities, the powers of legislative leaders, the costs of campaigning for office, tied chambers and the education level of constituencies are all determinants of the influence of campaign contributions on legislation. |
