Job of a Congress member not one size fits all, authors find

(University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) Legislators in Congress work their jobs in very different ways -- in fact, five distinct ways, according to two University of Illinois political scientists who studied 20 years of data on the US House of Representatives. William Bernhard and Tracy Sulkin, co-authors of a new book, call these 'legislative styles' and base them on everything from how members legislate and court public attention to how they staff their offices and share campaign funds.
