Candidates and Voters extends our understanding of voting,
elections, and representation by elaborating a simple theory of
voting choice based on voters' interest in policy and in the
suitability of candidates to hold elective office ('leadership
valence'). Voters' choices must be understood in the context of the
choices between opposing candidates they are offered on these two
dimensions. Drawing on extensive analysis of US House races, Stone
shows that although voters lack the information that many analysts
assume they need to function in a democracy, they are most often
able to choose the better candidate on the policy and valence
dimensions. In addition, candidates, when they decide whether and
how to run, anticipate the interests that drive voters. The book
shows that elections tend to produce outcomes on policy and
leadership valence consistent with voters' interests, and
challenges skeptical views of how well the electoral process works.
