Pennsylvania Elections provides a systematic and thorough analysis
of every statewide election in Pennsylvania since 1950. The five
chapters are divided between U.S. Senate elections, gubernatorial
contests, statewide row offices, and presidential campaigns. Each
of the 106 elections that have taken place since 1950 is analyzed
within the context of the 67 counties in the Commonwealth and John
J. Kennedy discusses the candidates and issues which have shaped
Pennsylvania for more than a half-century. By combining
quantitative political science, political history, and political
geography, this book will both pique the interest of those
interested in the state's politics and serve as a reference source
for future scholars.

discusses 93 political campaigns and elections in the state and
assembles the voting statistics of all 67 counties in the
Commonwealth. This is the first time this information has been
collected in a single, published volume. Along with this data is a
discussion of the candidates and issues that have shaped
Pennsylvania for more than a half-century. By combining
quantitative political science, political history, and political
geography, this book will appeal to those interested in the current
shape of Pennsylvania's politics and will serve as a resource for

In The Contemporary Pennsylvania Legislature, John J. Kennedy
explores a variety of topics that are relevant for any small
lawmaking institution. He investigates to what degree current
social and technological changes have affected the Pennsylvania
legislature and how it has been transformed from a part-time
lawmaking body to a full-time professional institution. The data
for Kennedy's study comes from a survey of legislators who served
in the 1993-1994 Pennsylvania Assembly as well as candidates who
ran for office but were defeated. Noting that political parties are
on the decline in the U.S., Kennedy examines whether lawmakers are
more inclined to follow their own interests, their parties', or
those of their constituents when voting on particular issues. In
addition to discussing the philosophical dispositions of
legislators, he also examines the electoral experiences of defeated
candidates. Kennedy's study is an important resource for those
interested in American government, the legislative process, or
political science.
Pennsylvania Government and Politics gives readers an overview of
the government institutions and the politics of the keystone state.
It explains how Pennsylvania compares to other states on a wide
variety of demographic and economic areas, and examines detailed
statistics relating to election results and political trends, with
an emphasis on the current party realignment. This comprehensive
coverage takes over where historical examinations end by providing
specific contemporary data and detailed discussion of the state's
political system. The book opens with a profile of Pennsylvania and
its rich historical and political heritage. Subsequent chapters are
devoted to the history of political parties and elections in the
state, the Pennsylvania State Constitution, as well as the three
institutions of government: the General Assembly, the executive
branch, and the judiciary. The book closes with a chapter on local
governments in Pennsylvania. Designed to blend engaging exposition
with statistical information that enhances the readers' insights
into both institutions and events, Pennsylvania Government and
Politics is an ideal text for courses relating to Pennsylvania
government and history within the state. It can also be used as a
supplemental text for introductory courses in American national
government and state and local government. Its tone and style make
the book appealing to any lay reader with an interest in the topic.
