In any case, 12% of politicians that have ever served as Deputies have held a
subnational executive experience before reaching the House. Thus, the scenario provides
an excellent opportunity to test the theoretical intuitions stated above. Do career
backgrounds affect legislative behavior? Three main hypotheses can be drawn from the
aforementioned reasoning:
5.1: Legislators that have occupied a municipal executive position before becoming
congressmen tend to submit more municipality-level targeted bills than other legislators
5.2: Legislators that have been governors before becoming congressmen do not submit a
substantive higher proportion of province-level targeted legislation than other
legislators
5.3: Legislators that have been governors and became congressmen due to term limits do
submit a higher proportion of province-level targeted legislation than other former
governors
Other complementary hypotheses can be drawn over the basis of the control
variables. One is linked with the expected effects of the (ideological) distance of a single
