These efforts appear to pay dividends as candidates from a party tend to perform better in areas where the local party organization is active. Part II considers what local party chairpersons look for in a candidate, drawing on findings from an experiment included in the national survey of party chairs. The experiment asked chairs which of a pair of candidates they thought would be most likely to prevail in a primary in their area and varied an array of candidate characteristics, including their policy positions, family structures, and their purported ethnoracial identity and gender. The results offer novel insights into the attributes that elites who play a critical role in candidate recruitment see as enhancing (or degrading) an individual's electoral prospects.
