Panagopoulos demonstrates that fewer and fewer experienced challengers have tossed their hats into the ring since the early 1970s. Inexperienced candidates face an electoral liability that is difficult to overcome. Looking at factors including campaign spending, district-level partisan composition, and institutional reforms such as term limits, Panagopoulos assesses reasons and consequences for this development over time. He points to important implications for the study of congressional elections and democracy in the United States, including reforms in recruitment and candidate selection strategies to heighten electoral competition and ultimately, to enhance democratic representation in Congress. For students and scholars of the US Congress and elections, this book addresses public concern about representation as well"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b House $b House $x Elections. 610 17 $a United States. $b House. $b House. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00536930 650 0 $a Political candidates $z United States. 650 0 $a Political campaigns $z United States. 650 0 $a Opposition (Political science) $z United States. 650 0 $a Incumbency (Public officers) $z United States. 650 7 $a Elections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00904324 650 7 $a Incumbency (Public officers) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968841 650 7 $a Opposition (Political science) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01046603 650 7 $a Political campaigns. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069212 650 7 $a Political candidates. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069218 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Panagopoulos, Costas. $t Congressional challengers $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781315164649 $w (DLC) 2021034727 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020331.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D89D9100EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
