Yet candidates and officeholders dial for more and more dollars each election, and they do so earlier and earlier in the campaign cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Money Signal\u003c\/em\u003e, Danielle M. Thomsen offers a new perspective on the role of money in politics. She shows that fundraising matters because it is widely used as an indicator of a candidate's viability and strength, which shapes subsequent donations, dropout decisions, media attention, and rewards in office. Put simply, money is a focal point that candidates, donors, journalists, and party leaders rally around. For candidates, fundraising is a highly public form of self-presentation that pays dividends long before the election and well after the votes are cast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThomsen draws on comprehensive fundraising data that spans more than four decades, in addition to interviews, surveys of candidates and donors, newspaper coverage, committee assignments, and legislative success. \u003cem\u003eThe Money Signal\u003c\/em\u003e highlights the numerous ways that dollars influence the perceptions and behaviour of key actors and observers throughout the election cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46795461066988,"sku":"9780226841144","price":61.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20639723482268.jpg?v=1757031324"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/danielle-m-thomsen.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
