Stranger in a Strange State
2019,2024
Overview
Candidates normally run for office in the places where they live.
Occasionally, however, a politician will run as a
carpetbagger-someone who moves to a new state for the express
purpose of running, or who runs in one state after holding office
in another. Stranger in a Strange State examines what
makes some politicians take this drastic step and how that shapes
their campaigns and chances for victory. Focusing on races for the
US Senate from 1964 forward, Christopher J. Galdieri analyzes the
campaigns of nine carpetbaggers, including nationally known figures
such as Robert F. Kennedy and Hillary Rodham Clinton and less
well-known candidates like Elizabeth Cheney and Scott Brown. These
case studies draw on archival research, contemporaneous accounts of
each campaign, and scholarship on campaigns and representation.
While the record reveals that it generally takes national political
stature for a carpetbagger to win an election, some recent
campaigns suggest that in today's polarized political era, both
politicians and state political parties might want to be more open
to the prospect of carpetbagging.
