It provides a candidate entry explanation for why partisan polarization has continued to increase in recent decades, and will be of interest to students of the US Congress, elections, and gender and politics.
Preface; 1. The choices have changed; 2. Party fit and the calculus of candidacy; 3. Ideology, perceptions, and political ambition; 4. Ideological moderates won't run for Congress; 5. Where the action is: asymmetric polarization and open seats; 6. Ideological moderates won't stay in Congress; 7. The growing partisan gap in women's representation; 8. Toward a less polarized Congress?; Appendix.
