  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • U.S. Representative Patrick Murphy Discusses His Rise to Congress at the National Constitution Center
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACTS: Ashley Berke Public Relations Manager 215.409.6693 [email protected] U.S. REPRESENTATIVE PATRICK MURPHY DISCUSSES HIS RISE TO CONGRESS AT THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER Philadelphia, PA (January 28, 2008) - The National Constitution Center welcomes U.S. Representative Patrick J. Murphy, the first Iraq War veteran to be elected to the United States Congress, to discuss his new book, Taking the Hill: From Philly to Baghdad to the United States Congress, on Monday, February 18 at 6:30 p.m. Admission is FREE, but reservations are required and can be made by calling 215.409.6700. In Taking the Hill, Murphy talks about his family and his belief that the American dream is still within reach. Murphy stresses the joy and necessity he feels to serve others, including family, students, community, fellow soldiers, and the nation. Patrick J. Murphy represents Pennsylvania's 8th Congressional district. The Irish American son of a Philadelphia policeman, Murphy grew to become a community college student and then an army officer, lawyer, and the youngest professor at West Point. He served in Iraq as a captain in the elite 82nd Airborne “All-Americans” where he earned a Bronze Star for service and successfully prosecuted one of Muqtada al- Sadr's top lieutenants. Returning from Iraq, Murphy, a political novice, narrowly defeated freshman Republican incumbent Mike Fitzpatrick in one of the nation’s most closely watched races in 2006. -MORE- ADD ONE/PATRICK MUPRHY Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky will moderate the event. Margolies-Mezvinsky is a professor at the Fels Institute of Government at the University of Pennsylvania and the chair of Women’s Campaign International, a group that provides advocacy training for women throughout the world.

Action No. 97-0160, ordering NRWC to respond to Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3, as modified by the Court. INTRODUCTORY COAKMENTS Intemgatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 relate to activities from more than four years ago. NRTWC has experienced changes in personnel over those years, and documents may no longer exist, if they ever existed. Nonetheless, “WC, with the assistance of counsel and staff, has conducted a diligent search for documents and facts, and responds on the basis of information so gathered. The Court limited the scope of Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 to the 1992 senatorial candidates, and the Commission, by its attorneys in discussions with “WC counsel, has further limited the scope to the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Thus, NRTWC’s search has focused on the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Also, the Commission and NRTWC, in briefing and in discussions between counsel, have agreed that NRTWC may redact documents to delete supporter-identitjing information from documents to be produced, and NRTWC is doing so. MTERROGATORY NO. 3 NRlwC did not engage in, or finance, in whole or in pa, “any activities relating to federal elections in October-December 1992 .

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Effect of Party Networks on Congressional Primaries A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Shawn Thomas Patterson, Jr. 2018 c Copyright by Shawn Thomas Patterson, Jr. 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Effect of Party Networks on Congressional Primaries by Shawn Thomas Patterson, Jr. Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Kathleen Bawn, Chair The scholarship on political parties has largely focused on their declining influence. Specif- ically, many claim that through the widespread adoption of the partisan primary, control over the nomination of candidates has been largely relegated to the ambitions and talents of the office-seekers themselves. I challenge this perspective, arguing that networks of partisan interests still play a major role in determining a party's nominee. To support this claim, I combine field interviews, journalistic accounts, election results, and campaign finance disclo- sures to demonstrate the systematic effect of political networks on the electoral prospects of primary candidates. I provide a series of case studies to show the impact of party networks and to demonstrate the underlying mechanism { the diverse campaign resources that these networks are able to marshal on behalf of their candidates. To generalize these findings, I use campaign finance data for candidates between 1980 and 2014 to construct a novel measure of group support { existing network density { derived from the degree of coordination present among a candidate's campaign contributors. I find that greater network support provides a significant benefit to candidates seeking consequential open-seat nominations for the House of Representatives.
