Description
This study addresses a gap in Role Model Effect literature by focusing on how cisgender women candidates impact transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) individuals' interest in running for political office. Results show support for the hypothesis that cis women candidates who campaign on issues relevant to the TGNC community increase the political interest of TGNC individuals.
