It is commonly believed that the outcome of congressional elections for the House of Representatives in the US is decided on the basis of local issues rather than national concerns. Here, this perception is tested by examining the results of the 1982 House electoral races. Campaign literature & propaganda from gubernatorial, senatorial, & House candidates were analyzed to determine the correlation between the electoral success of a congressional candidate & the frequency & distribution of references to local issues, national issues, & incumbent accomplishments. The "all politics is local" myth in terms of campaign strategy does not necessarily hold true: incumbents & challengers are as concerned, if not more so, with national issues as local matters, & candidates often stress party affiliation over an independent stance & do not often enunciate constituent services or "pork barrel" allocations. 3 Tables.
