Graph showing the relationship between district partisanship (PVI) on the x-axis and the predicted probability of women winning a primary in each party. Probabilities are calculated using Heckman two-stage estimation models. The graph shows that Democratic women are less likely to win competitive general election districts, whereas Republican women are least likely to win primaries in highly conservative districts.
🚨Manuscript accepted 🚨
