Note: Results from OLS regressions. The outcome in Columns 1–3 is running for office at least once in the five elections held between 1998 and 2010 whereas Columns 4–6 instead display results for winning office at least once in the same elections. Standard errors, shown in parentheses, allow for clustering at the school-program level.
