The Effects of Leadership Positions on Votes for Incumbents in State Legislative Elections

Thomas M. Holbrook

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN, MILWAUKEE

Charles M. Tidmarch

UNION COLLEGE, SCHENECTADY, NY

This paper investigates the impact of holding a party leadership position or being a committee chair on votes for incumbents in state legislative elections in 1986. The results of the analysis indicate that majority party members who hold these positions of authority enjoy a greater electoral advantage than expected in their states. Leadership positions do not offer the same advantage to minority party legislators, however.
