Theories of ambition teach us that elected offices are valuable
commodities to certain politicians, and under the right
circumstances, the benefits of running for an office outweigh the
associated risks. Yet, some ambitious politicians emerge as
candidates while others do not. This book analyzes strategic
candidacy decisions to explain how primary elections for the United
States Senate unfold. With new, comprehensive data on pools of
potential candidates, it examines the determinants of electoral and
fundraising success, analyzes the importance of the timing of
candidacy decisions and the strategic interactions of prospective
officeholders, and investigates the impact of strategic
retirements. Using both qualitative and quantitative tools,
including event history techniques to capture the complex dynamics
of these races, it concludes that the manner in which politicians
interact with one another and the unique context within each
campaign leads to individuals emerging from the pool of potential
candidates in systematic ways. In the end, the strategic behavior
of ambitious politicians has important implications for the slate
of candidates available to the electorate and ultimately, the
quality of representation between constituents and their
legislators.
