This book demonstrates the consequences of legislators' strategic
communication for representation in American politics.
Representational Style in Congress shows how legislators present
their work to cultivate constituent support. Using a massive new
data set of texts from legislators and new statistical techniques
to analyze the texts, this book provides comprehensive measures of
what legislators say to constituents and explains why legislators
adopt these styles. Using the new measures, Justin Grimmer shows
how legislators affect how constituents evaluate their
representatives and the consequences of strategic statements for
political discourse. The introduction of new statistical techniques
for political texts allows a more comprehensive and systematic
analysis of what legislators say and why it matters than was
previously possible. Using these new techniques, the book makes the
compelling case that to understand political representation, we
must understand what legislators say to constituents.
