As witnessed in the 2004 elections, Americans feel the influence of
interest groups today more than ever before. In races for the
presidency, Congress, state legislatures, and even local school
boards, interest groups help-in both major and minor ways-elect (or
reelect) candidates who support their views. Interest Groups in
American Campaigns is the only book to focus specifically on the
role of interest groups in elections. Rozell, Wilcox, and Madland
show that communication channels-from monetary donations to
candidates and web pages for citizens-are the bedrock of interest
group leverage on political parties, individual candidates, and
voters. This second edition goes well beyond a straightforward
update and spotlights the major changes in the way interest groups
are now active in modern campaigns. Continuing the tradition of the
first edition, the authors draw on interviews with interest group
leaders, coverage of campaign finance filings, and election surveys
in their extensive analysis. In addition to current data and
updated examples and cases throughout the book, new coverage
includes: the effects of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of
2002, the first finance reform package in a generation the rise of
527s in campaign advertising in light of campaign finance reform
restrictions the successes and failures of George W. Bush and John
Kerry to woo powerful interest groups
