Elections to Open Seats in the U.S. House: Where the Action Is

by Charles S. Bullock III and Ronald Keith Gaddie

Shifting the focal point from incumbency to open seat competition in the U.S. House of Representatives is the task this book embraces. In the process, the authors demonstrate the importance of candidates and competition, and the role of money, gender, and special elections in determining how open seats get filled and when partisan changes occur.
