Legislators across multiple states were sent an email asking for help with the voter registration process for the primary election using black (DeShawn Jackson) or white alias names (Jake Mueller). The sender name, the legislature receiving the email, and the (hypothetical) party affiliation of the sender were randomly assigned. Not all letters included information on which political party's primary election the sender was interested in. Legislative offices were contacted through official email addresses posted on state government websites. The outcome of interest is whether the legislator responded by the November election date or not.\\n\\nVariable Descriptions:\\nleg_party: Political party affiliation of the state legislator (R = Republican, D = Democrat)\\nleg_republican: Binary indicator for legislators affiliated with the Republican Party\\nleg_black: Binary indicator for legislators who identify as Black or African American\\nleg_latino: Binary indicator for legislators who identify as Latino or Hispanic\\nleg_white: Binary indicator for legislators who identify as white\\nleg_notwhite: Binary indicator for legislators who identify as non-white\\nleg_notblackotherminority: Binary indicator for legislators who identify as minorities other than Black (including Latino, Asian American, Native American, and Arab American legislators)\\nreply_atall: Binary indicator for whether the legislative office provided any form of response to the constituent inquiry\\ntreat_deshawn: Binary indicator for communications associated with the name \\\"\\\"DeShawn Jackson\\\"\\\"\\ntreat_jake: Binary indicator for communications associated with the name \\\"\\\"Jake Mueller\\\"\\\"\\ntreat_group: Categorical variable indicating the specific combination of communication characteristics\\ntreat_demprimary: Binary indicator for communications that mentioned interest in Democratic primary elections\\ntreat_repprimary: Binary indicator for communications that mentioned interest in Republican primary elections\\ntreat_noprimary: Binary indicator for communications that did not specify any particular primary election interest\\ntreat_primary: Binary indicator for communications that included any reference to primary election participation (either Democratic or Republican)\",\n \"columns\": {\n  \"leg_party\": \"str\",\n  \"leg_republican\": \"int64\",\n  \"leg_black\": \"int64\",\n  \"leg_latino\": \"int64\",\n  \"reply_atall\": \"int64\",\n  \"treat_deshawn\": \"int64\",\n  \"treat_demprimary\": \"int64\",\n  \"treat_repprimary\": \"int64\",\n  \"treat_noprimary\": \"int64\",\n  \"treat_group\": \"int64\",\n  \"treat_jake\": \"int64\",\n  \"leg_notwhite\": \"int64\",\n  \"leg_white\": \"int64\",\n  \"leg_notblackotherminority\": \"int64\",\n  \"treat_primary\": \"int64\"\n }\n}"}
