    "abstract": "In this manuscript, we introduce a new measure of political influence in  California. Leveraging a new dataset of candidate rankings of their own  endorsements, we use the Bradley-Terry model to estimate influence for a  broad array of officeholders, interest groups, and endorsing  organizations who participate in California politics. We call this new  measure of influence \nClout\n scores. Our measure of a person’s clout\n \nis  based on how much candidates for office desire that individual’s  endorsement. Specifically, we measure a political actor’s clout by  estimating the extent to which that actor’s endorsement is preferred to a  baseline endorsement group. Our estimates provide an original,  empirically-grounded portrait of the distribution of political capital  in California and highlight which political elites have the greatest  capacity to swing election outcomes.",
