  • The Revival of the Nevada Democratic Party
    CASE STUDY The Revival of the Nevada Democratic Party When a state political party’s electoral performance falters, how should political actors change its fortunes for the better— concentrate on the needs of individual candidates, bolster allied outside groups, or invest in the formal party itself? Sam Rosenfeld Daniel Schlozman August 2021 SNF Agora Case Studies The SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University offers a series of case studies that show how civic and political actors navigated real-life challenges related to democracy. Practitioners, teachers, organizational leaders, and trainers working with civic and political leaders, students, and trainees can use our case studies to deepen their skills, to develop insights about how to approach strategic choices and dilemmas, and to get to know each other better and work more effectively. How to Use the Case Unlike many case studies, ours do not focus on individual leaders or other decision-makers. Instead, the SNF Agora case studies are about choices that groups make collectively. Therefore, these cases work well as prompts for group discussions. The basic question in each case is: “What would we do?” After reading a case, some groups role-play the people who were actually involved in the situation, treating the discussion as a simulation. In other groups, the participants speak as themselves, discussing the strategies that they would advocate for the group described in the case. The person who assigns or organizes your discussion may want you to use the case in one of those ways. When studying and discussing the choices made by real-life decision-makers (often under intense pressure), it is appropriate to exhibit some humility.

  • HISTORY of WASHOE COUNTY Introduction
    HISTORY OF WASHOE COUNTY Introduction Lying in the northwest portion of the State of Nevada, named for a tribe of American Indians and containing a land area in excess of 6,000 square miles, Washoe County today consists of two of the nine original counties -- Washoe and Lake (later renamed Roop) Counties -- into which the Territory of Nevada was divided by the first territorial legislature in 1861. The country, "a land of contrasts, extremes, and apparent contradictions, of mingled barrenness and fertility, beauty and desolation, aridity and storm,"1 was claimed by the Spanish Empire until 1822 when it became a part of Mexican territory resulting from Mexico's successful war of independence from Spain. Mexico ceded the area to the United States in 1848 following the Mexican War, and the ceded lands remained part of the "unorganized territory" of the United States until 1850. Spanish and Mexican constructive possession probably had little effect on the life styles of the Northern Paiutes and the Washos -- the two American Indian tribes which inhabited the area. The Northern Paiutes ranged over most of Washoe County2 save the series of valleys lying along the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada. These valleys were the domain of the Washos, a small, nomadic tribe whose members spoke an alien tongue and from which the name of the county is derived3. The 1840's During the 1840's Washoe County was traversed by a number of trappers and explorers, as well as several well-defined emigrant trails leading to California and Oregon. In 1843 mountain man "Old Bill" Williams4 led his trappers from the Klamath Lake region of California to Pyramid Lake and the Truckee River.

  • The Effect of Tea Party Activity on the 2010 United States Senate Elections
    The Effect of Tea Party Activity on the 2010 United States Senate Elections Patricia Ceccarelli A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH HONORS DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN March 25, 2011 Advised by Dr. Michael T. Heaney ABSTRACT The tea party movement began in early 2009 in reaction to the stimulus bill. Throughout 2009 local and national tea party groups formed and held rallies around the country. A Republican won Ted Kennedy’s Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat with the help of the tea party movement in early 2010. Several GOP establishment candidates lost their primaries to tea party candidates. So, what was the overall effect of tea party activity on the 2010 U.S. Senate elections? Did voter enthusiasm lead to more wins by Republican candidates? Or did the movement push the candidates too far to the right and prevent Republicans from winning? Each of the 37 U.S. Senate races were coded in terms of level of tea party activity, expected lean of the race, and percentage of the vote won by the GOP candidate. The level of tea party activity was based off of tea party movement related endorsements and campaign contributions received by each candidate. A regression analysis produced statistically significant results suggesting that states with high levels of tea party activity earned significantly lower vote shares for Republican candidates, after controlling for races leaning toward the Republican candidate. In order to further explain these results, nine case studies of different races explored the organizing at the grassroots level of the tea party movement.

  • A West European Style Populist Radical Right Movement in America? the Case of the Tea Party
    A West European Style Populist Radical Right Movement in America? The Case of the Tea Party Daniel May: McNair Scholar Dr. Ross Burkhart: Mentor Political Science & Communication Abstract The Tea Party (TP), whose candidates made significant gains in the 2010-midterm elections, lacks a place in the comparative party literature and also defies ready classification. Is it solely a movement to reduce the size of government and cut taxes as its name – some refer to it as the Taxed Enough Already party – implies? Or do its supporters share a broader set of conservative positions on social as well as economic issues? Does the movement draw support from across the religious spectrum? Or has the religious right “taken over” the TP, as some commentators have suggested (Koelkebeck, 2010)? In light of these various claims, this comparative study seeks to characterize the TP and asks: (1) Is it a populist party? (2) Is it a populist radical right party? The aim is to locate the TP in multi-dimensional space using a careful reading of the party literature as the primary data source and to do so by reference to three fundamental “isms” attributed to West European populist radical right parties – that is, populism, socio-cultural authoritarianism and ethno-nationalism (nativism). It is argued that the TP is indeed a populist radical right party – with Americanism as its pivotal concept – albeit one (thus far) lacking the xenophobic extremism of the likes of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPA) or the Danish People's Party (DPP). Tea Party Influence The growth in TP support has steadily increased, from its peculiar beginning on February 19, 2009, (the infamous 8:15 AM rant by CNBC on-air editor Rick Santelli on the floor of the Chicago mercantile exchange) right on to the dramatic achievements made in the 2010 mid-term elections that helped the GOP take control of the House of Representatives and make gains in the Senate.
