Replication Data for: City-State Ideological Incongruence and Municipal Preemptionhttps://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/KU4OCKBarber, MichaelDynes, Adam M.Harvard Dataverse2021-05-292023-04-26T14:12:49ZA growing concern among municipal officials across the U.S. is that their policymaking capacity is under attack by state legislatures who are increasingly likely to preempt those municipalities. However, determining the extent to which municipalities are preempted is challenging. We overcome this by surveying a large sample of municipal officials from across the U.S. We find that officials from municipalities that are more ideologically distant from their state overall are more likely to report being preempted by their state government. Moreover, this pattern is driven by more liberal municipalities in both Republican and Democratic states reporting higher rates of preemption. Additionally, municipalities under unified state governments are more likely to report preemption, especially those under unified Republican control. These findings have important implications for the quality of representation in our federalist system and indicate that preemption is not just an issue between Republican states and liberal urban cities.Social SciencesPreemptionRepresentationIntergovernmental politicsState politicsLocal politicsElite surveyBarber, Michael, and Adam Dynes. 2021. “City-State Ideological Incongruence and Municipal Preemption.” <i>American Journal of Political Science</i> 67 (1): 119-36., doi, 10.1111/ajps.12655, https://doi.org/10.1111/ajps.126552021-05-29Dynes, Adam M.2021-04-16Butler, Daniel M., and Adam M.
