Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper broadens the dialogue about campaign crises by asking how political professionals—especially political consultants—conceptualize and define campaign crises. The paper enhances our understanding of congressional campaign politics primarily on two fronts. First, rather than treating campaign crises as a dichotomous, independent variable, I allow the political professionals who combat campaign crises to define what the term means in a practical sense, which sheds light on academic constructs of campaign crises and related concepts. Second, I examine campaign crises from an internal perspective by exploring how campaign professionals perceive campaign crises and react to those crises within the campaign. This approach marks a departure from existing scholarly work, which focuses mainly on external outcomes, such as the mere presence of crisis (usually operationalized as “scandals”) and the impact on fundraising and vote margin. The data demonstrate that political professionals view campaign crises as complex, interactive events. Although popular and scholarly wisdom focus on campaign scandals as key variables in congressional elections, the data presented here show that political professionals classify a range of behavior and events beyond “scandals” as campaign crises.
