一些意识形态极端的候选人似乎得到了个人捐助者的热情支持，但先前的系统分析没有发现极端主义的总体筹款效益。我认为，极端和温和候选人筹集的资金数额相似，掩盖了不同的筹款联盟。正如国会资深议员在从以获取为导向的捐款者那里筹集资金方面可能具有比较优势一样，意识形态极端的国会议员在从意识形态动机的个人捐款者那里筹集资金方面可能具有比较优势。我测试这种可能性，通过使用多层次模型来预测候选人从个人捐款中筹集的资金比例，并确认，保持总筹款额不变，极端的候选人更有可能依赖于个人捐款者比温和的候选人。
Some ideologically extreme candidates appear to generate enthusiastic support from individual donors, but previous systematic analysis has found no overall fundraising benefits accruing to extremism. I propose that the similar amount of funds raised by extreme and moderate candidates masks different fundraising coalitions. Just as senior members of Congress may have a comparative advantage in raising money from access-oriented contributors, ideologically extreme members of Congress may have a comparative advantage in raising money from ideologically motivated individual contributors. I test for this possibility by using a multilevel model to predict the proportion of funds candidates raise from individual contributions and confirm that, holding total fundraising amounts constant, extreme candidates are more likely to rely on individual contributors than are moderate candidates.
