Candidacies, Campaigns, and Behavior in the American Context

Session Submission Type: In-Person Created Panel

Session Description

It is acknowledged that parties provide cues to voters and public officers. To what extent are they determinant in campaigns? Do they also affect citizens' perceptions of candidates?
