Small Power: How Local Parties Shape Elections
Doherty, David (Associate Professor of Political Science, Associate Professor of Political Science, Loyola University-Chicago)
In Small Power, David Doherty, Conor M. Dowling, and Michael G. Miller examine an important, but understudied, aspect of American political parties: the local organizations that are responsible for increasing the party's community visibility, recruiting first-time candidates, and providing the crucial labor that campaigns use to mobilize voters. They argue that despite overseeing small geographies, the leaders of these local parties wield significant powerin American politics to shape statewide and federal campaigns. The book also merges a number of data sourcesâ€â€including national surveys and interviews with party leadersâ€â€to describe how local party units impact American politics.
