On which issues should they focus? What is the right balance between working in one's district and on Capitol Hill? How much should they engage with the media to cultivate a national reputation? William Bernhard and Tracy Sulkin argue that these decisions and others define a "legislative style" that aligns with a legislator's ambitions, experiences, and personal inclinations, as well as any significant electoral and institutional constraints. Bernhard and Sulkin have developed a systematic approach for looking at legislative style through a variety of criteria, including the number of the bills passed, number of speeches given, amount of money raised, and the percentage of time a legislator voted in line with his or her party. Applying this to ten congresses, representing twenty years of congressional data, from 1989 to 2009, they reveal that legislators' activity falls within five predictable styles.0These styles remain relatively consistent throughout legislators' time in office, though a legislator's style can change as career goals evolve, as well as with changes to individual or larger political interests, as in redistricting or a majority shift. Offering insight into a number of enduring questions in legislative politics, Legislative Style is a rich and nuanced account of legislators' activity on Capitol Hill. 000812377 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000812377 61010 $$aUnited States.$$bCongress$$xOfficials and employees. 000812377 650_0 $$aLegislators$$xProfessional relationships$$zUnited States. 000812377 650_0 $$aLegislation$$zUnited States$$xDecision making. 000812377 650_0 $$aPolitical planning$$zUnited States. 000812377 7001_ $$aSulkin, Tracy,$$eauthor. 000812377 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBernhard, William, 1966-$$tLegislative style.$$dChicago : The University of Chicago Press, 2018$$z9780226510149$$w(DLC) 2017028654$$w(OCoLC)993623893 000812377 830_0 $$aChicago studies in American politics. 000812377 852__ $$bacq 000812377 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000812377 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4942137$$zOnline Access 000812377 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:812377$$pGLOBAL_SET 000812377 980__ $$aEBOOK 000812377 980__ $$aBIB 000812377 982__ $$aEbook 000812377 983__ $$aOnline
