Abstract:
|
Using survey data, this paper measures the relationship between public money and allocation of candidate time to eight activities in the 2006 Maine and Arizona legislative elections. Maryland rounds out the sample as a control state with a traditional funding scheme. I find that candidates in publicly-funded states devote a greater proportion of their time to field activity and other tasks intended to increase vote share. Within-state comparisons also demonstrate that candidates who accept subsidies are more likely to engage in these activities than are those who fund traditionally. Finally, I demonstrate that public funding has eroded incumbent advantage, allowing challengers to swing votes in their favor through increased public interaction. |
