    PALGRAVE STUDIES IN US ELECTIONS SERIES EDITOR: LUKE PERRY From the Iowa Caucuses to the White House Understanding Donald Trump’s 2016 Electoral Victory in Iowa Andrew D. Green Palgrave Studies in US Elections Series Editor Luke Perry Utica College Utica, NY, USA This Pivot series, established in collaboration with the Utica College Center of Public Affairs and Election Research, brings together cutting-­ edge work in US Politics focused on trends and issues surrounding local, state, and federal elections. Books in this series may cover but are not limited to topics such as voting behavior, campaign management, policy considerations, electoral social movements, and analysis of significant races. While welcoming all projects on US elections within and across all three levels of government, this series proceeds from the truism that all politics is fundamentally local. As such, we are especially interested in research on state and local elections such as mayoral races, gubernatorial races, and congressional elections, with particular focus on how state/ local electoral trends influence national electoral politics, and vice versa. This series is open to any relevant scholar and all methodological approaches. More information about this series at http://www.palgrave.com/gp/series/16164 Andrew D.
