요약While women's representation in state-level offices has increased in the past few decades, it has lagged behind in executive offices, especially in women obtaining gubernatorial positions. 45 women, elected or appointed, have ever served as their state's governor, and nearly half the states have yet to elect a woman governor. Yet, this disparity is not consistent across all offices. In order to examine the electoral successes of women throughout state-level or statewide offices, I consider the effects of candidate quality across office type in elections for various offices: governor, US Senate, and state supreme courts.In the first chapter of my dissertation, I argue that disparities in voter perceptions of candidate qualifications between men and women running for governor negatively affect the success of women candidates at the election level, in that women must be more qualified relative to men in order to achieve a similar level of electoral success. This paper also introduces a more comprehensive measure of candidate quality that incorporates experiences from political, professional, and civic experiences that candidates frequently take on before running for high-level elected office.My second paper highlights the potential barriers that women, particularly Black women, face in gubernatorial elections and legislative elections. This study entails a survey experiment that manipulates candidate gender and race, levels of candidate quality, and type of office sought. The goals of this study are 1) to distinguish if and how voters evaluate qualifications differently in executive, rather than legislative, elections, 2) to evaluate voters' demands of quality for Black women relative to other candidates, and 3) to establish if women, overall, must be more qualified than men in order to gain similar support. I generally observe little support for the presence of stereotypes across this experiment, though I do find that race is a significant factor in determining voter perceptions of candidates.In the third chapter, we rely on a conjoint experiment to test the effects of candidate qualifications and gender stereotypes in U.S. state judicial elections. We find that, on average, women candidates are advantaged in judicial elections, though we find no evidence that citizens view women candidates as more well-qualified. While respondents evaluated male and female candidates with most prior professional experiences similarly, we observe important instances of gendered stereotyping in these elections, suggesting that researchers need to pay more attention to the effects of gender in judicial elections.

■520    ▼aWhile  women's  representation  in  state-level  offices  has  increased  in  the  past  few  decades,  it  has  lagged  behind  in  executive  offices,  especially  in  women  obtaining  gubernatorial  positions.  45  women,  elected  or  appointed,  have  ever  served  as  their  state's  governor,  and  nearly  half  the  states  have  yet  to  elect  a  woman  governor.  Yet,  this  disparity  is  not  consistent  across  all  offices.  In  order  to  examine  the  electoral  successes  of  women  throughout  state-level  or  statewide  offices,  I  consider  the  effects  of  candidate  quality  across  office  type  in  elections  for  various  offices:  governor,  US  Senate,  and  state  supreme  courts.In  the  first  chapter  of  my  dissertation,  I  argue  that  disparities  in  voter  perceptions  of  candidate  qualifications  between  men  and  women  running  for  governor  negatively  affect  the  success  of  women  candidates  at  the  election  level,  in  that  women  must  be  more  qualified  relative  to  men  in  order  to  achieve  a  similar  level  of  electoral  success.  This  paper  also  introduces  a  more  comprehensive  measure  of  candidate  quality  that  incorporates  experiences  from  political,  professional,  and  civic  experiences  that  candidates  frequently  take  on  before  running  for  high-level  elected  office.My  second  paper  highlights  the  potential  barriers  that  women,  particularly  Black  women,  face  in  gubernatorial  elections  and  legislative  elections.  This  study  entails  a  survey  experiment  that  manipulates  candidate  gender  and  race,  levels  of  candidate  quality,  and  type  of  office  sought.  The  goals  of  this  study  are  1)  to  distinguish  if  and  how  voters  evaluate  qualifications  differently  in  executive,  rather  than  legislative,  elections,  2)  to  evaluate  voters'  demands  of  quality  for  Black  women  relative  to  other  candidates,  and  3)  to  establish  if  women,  overall,  must  be  more  qualified  than  men  in  order  to  gain  similar  support.  I  generally  observe  little  support  for  the  presence  of  stereotypes  across  this  experiment,  though  I  do  find  that  race  is  a  significant  factor  in  determining  voter  perceptions  of  candidates.In  the  third  chapter,  we  rely  on  a  conjoint  experiment  to  test  the  effects  of  candidate  qualifications  and  gender  stereotypes  in  U.S.  state  judicial  elections.  We  find  that,  on  average,  women  candidates  are  advantaged  in  judicial  elections,  though  we  find  no  evidence  that  citizens  view  women  candidates  as  more  well-qualified.  While  respondents  evaluated  male  and  female  candidates  with  most  prior  professional  experiences  similarly,  we  observe  important  instances  of  gendered  stereotyping  in  these  elections,  suggesting  that  researchers  need  to  pay  more  attention  to  the  effects  of  gender  in  judicial  elections.
