Becoming a Candidate: Political Ambition and the Decision to Run
for Office explores the factors that drive political ambition at
the earliest stages. Using data from a comprehensive survey of
thousands of eligible candidates, Jennifer L. Lawless
systematically investigates what compels certain citizens to pursue
elective positions and others to recoil at the notion. Lawless
assesses personal factors, such as race, gender and family
dynamics, that affect an eligible candidate's likelihood of
considering a run for office. She also focuses on eligible
candidates' professional lives and attitudes toward the political
system.
