“…These results contradict most research in this area, but complement other studies (Gilliam and Kaufmann 1998;Kaufmann 2003) that show that Black voter turnout in Los Angeles was higher than average when a Black candidate was present, and that Latinos in Denver voted at higher rates than non-Latinos when a Latino candidate was present. It also lends support to the notion Garcia and Arce (1988) posited, that Latino turnout may be similar and sometimes higher than that of non-Latinos as a result of "situational factors such as local personalities and ethnically defined political races, local issues compelling to Chicanos, historical patterns, and sophisticated organizational activities.…”

T raditional studies of political participation assume an electoral environment in which voters decide between two White candidates, and find Latino citizens less politically engaged. Given the growth in the number of Latino candidates for office over the past 20 years, this article tests whether ethnicity impacts Latino voting behavior. I argue that the presence of a Latino candidate mobilizes the Latino electorate, resulting in elevated voter turnout and strong support for the co-ethnic candidates. Although some research provides a theoretical basis for such a claim, this article brings together a comprehensive body of empirical evidence to suggest that ethnicity is salient for Latinos and provides a coherent theory that accounts for the empowering role of co-ethnic candidates. Analysis of recent mayoral elections in five major U.S. cities reveals that Latinos were consistently mobilized by co-ethnic candidates.

“…In addition to the literature on municipal politics (see Gilliam 1996;Gilliam and Kaufmann 1998;Kaufmann 2003;Kleppner 1985;Nelson 1987), Tate (1991) found that shared identity and the presence of mobilizing agents like the black church increased black participation when Jesse Jackson sought the 1984 Democratic presidential nomination. And with the help of party and candidate outreach, the 2008 presidential campaign saw African Americans mobilized to support Barack Obama (Philpot, Shaw, and McGowen 2009).…”

The drawing of congressional district lines can significantly reduce political participation in U.S. House elections, according to recent work. But such studies have failed to explain which citizens' voting rates are most susceptible to the dislocating effects of redistricting and whether the findings are generalizable to a variety of political contexts. Building on this nascent literature and work on black political participation, we show that redistricting's negative effects on participation-measured by voter roll-off in U.S. House elections-are generally strongest among African Americans, but that black voters can be mobilized when they are redrawn into a black representative's congressional district. Our findings, based on data from 11 postredistricting elections in five states from 1992 through 2006, both expand the empirical scope of previous work and suggest that redistricting plays a previously hidden role in affecting black participation in congressional contests.

“…US-born Asian Americans may recognise that among blacks, immigrants potentially present a problem of intergroup economic competition and threat (Fuchs 1991;Waldinger 1996;Waters 1999;Telles, Sawyer, and Rivera-Salgado 2011). Relatedly, immigrants, when naturalised, may also serve as a source of competition to black political interests (Kaufmann 2003a(Kaufmann , 2003b. Because increased immigration represents a competitive threat to black interests on a number of different fronts, this study hypothesises that: Hypothesis 3: Asian Americans' support a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants decreases as their perceived commonality with African Americans increases.…”
