In the Abstract section, there is an error in the last two sentence of the paragraph. The correct sentence is: Our regression analysis of the votes of 435 House members on 77 LAs suggests that all else equal, while climate issues without issue linkages diminish legislative support, C-LAs attract votes when they are linked with clean air and transportation. However, issue linkages could also backfire: C-LAs linked with water diminish legislative support.
In the Introduction section, there is an error in the last sentence of the 12th paragraph. The correct sentence is: All else equal, C-LAs associated with clean air or transportation are more likely to garner support, while C-LAs linked with water are associated with diminished support.
In the Results section, there is an error in the first sentence of the third paragraph. The correct sentence is: In C-LAs that mention other issues, we find that linkages with clean air and transportation increase legislative support (H2 and H5 are supported), the linkage with water decreases legislative support (H3 is supported), and the linkage with environmental justice is not significant (H4 is not supported).
In the Results section, there is an error in the first sentence of the fourth paragraph. The correct sentence is: In terms of member attributes, the vote share from the previous election, and election spending are not significant. District demographics are not significant, but unemployment level is significant.
