Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: How are the recruitment and nomination practices of the major political parties related to women's representation? In this paper, I analyze the effect of party activities on women's representation with original data from a 2002 national mail survey of Democratic and Republican state legislative leaders. I find that party leader efforts to influence the nomination are typically negatively related to women's representation: in states where the legislative leadership is more likely to take sides in the primary or select a candidate for a targeted race, women are less well represented as candidates and legislators. These results suggest that "stronger" political parties do not necessarily increase women's representation.
