What are the demands of being up for election every two or six years? How do campaign contributions influence politics on Capitol Hill? Who are more vulnerable at election time, members of the House or the Senate? Is it better to introduce a new idea in the on-year or in the off-year? And just what do we mean by the “on-year” and the “off-year?”
To understand the pressures of elective office – the demands of both campaigns and constituent pressure – is essential to understanding the Capitol Hill environment. In this session, we will take a close look at what it takes for members of the House and Senate to be elected, the ever-present pressures of reelection and how these pressures can affect policy and politics in Washington.
