This paper uses multiple regression analyses to examine and help explain variations in contributions to state legislative candidates across the majority of the United States. An argument is made that campaign contributions and the hiring of a registered lobbyist are substitutes. Examined variables also include: the power of the seats in the election, per capita budget expenditures, per capita square miles, chamber competition, and Republican membership.Honors CollegeThesis (B.?.
