II. Congress versus Parliament Comparison with British Parliament Parliamentary candidates are selected by their parties. Become a candidate by persuading party to place name on the ballot

Roman Caposino November 25th, 2013 Chapter 13 #9-14 AP Government & Politics In order to be reelected, Congressman engage in three key things: advertising, name-tagging, and taking stands on political issues. Congressman are constantly advertising their names to make themselves known in their districts and states and to make voters aware of their existence. Along with putting their names out there, Congressman attach themselves to any good thing that comes back to help their home district. Finally, congressmen often choose sides on political issues such as abortion or gay rights to gain the support of voters with similar views.
