between legislative activity and gubernatorial expectations. It is not only true that those
legislators pursuing a provincial-level executive position do not act prospectively, but it
also becomes evident that the Argentine House is not a very promising previous point

claim that a seat in Congress does not provide substantive resources to further a political
career in Argentina. Material resources are scarce; symbolic resources are rarely used.
Thus, as a conclusion, it should be well known that some other public office would
surely be a better springboard to jump to a governorship.
