Historic Firsts in U.S. Elections:Trailblazing Candidates in
Gubernatorial, Congressional, and Mayoral Campaigns examines
barrier-breaking figures across various types of elective offices
and constituent groups. The moment in which historic firsts enter
the electoral arena, and the unique campaigns that ensue, are shown
to be symbolically empowering. These change agents on the campaign
trail become lighting rods for more liberal policies, and their
candidacies are tied to questions of representation, electability,
and performance. The distinctive combinations of race, ethnicity,
and gender identities represented here translate into voter
excitement to go to the polls and participate in other ways.
Original chapters by respected scholars and practitioners consider
how recent breakthrough elections are similar to yet different from
past elections for gubernatorial, congressional, and mayoral
offices. The shadow of Donald Trump's wildly unconventional U.S.
presidency looms over this groundbreaking analysis, linking local
to national level politics. For students of politics across the
curriculum, this book expands the theoretical capacity of
intersectionality research and links it to voter mobilization and
electoral success.
