CQ Press's Guide to the 2014 Midterm Elections

With veteran journalist and political analyst Chuck McCutcheon's illuminating supplement, students will benefit from the broader context and spot-on coverage he provides of the significance of the midterm elections-both historically and for the next four years;

• key races at the House, Senate, and gubernatorial levels and why they matter at a national level;

• how the events of the last two years, including the government shutdown, the launch of healthcare.gov, and recent Supreme Court decisions on campaign finance will affect the election;

• the campaign-the strategies used and how they differ from previous contests; and

• the policy issues that are on the minds of voters and their decision-making.
