The Effects of Campaign Spending in State Supreme Court Elections

Chris W. Bonneau

University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Electoral competition has been an important subject of political science research over the past several decades. This article examines the effects of campaign spending on electoral competition in state supreme court elections. Specifically, the author addresses the question, How do campaign expenditures affect the performance of incumbents in supreme court elections? The author finds that, just like elections to Congress and state legislatures, electoral competition in state supreme court elections can be understood by looking at characteristics of the candidates, the state and electoral context, and institutional arrangements.

Key Words: state supreme courts • judicial selection • campaign finance • judicial elections
