Abstract:
Sacramento for Sale analyzes contributions to all campaigns for state-level office in California in the 1998 election cycle, revealing that California elections are dominated by donations from wealthy individuals and corporations outside the districts whose elections they are influencing. Candidates who don't sympathize with such donors have little chance of being elected.
