This paper reviews the literature on how political parties target distributive benefits. It introduces the previous literature on electoral targeting, examines extending the existing electoral targeting models and asks how to maximize votes in the electoral and legislative arenas. The author argues that extant models focus solely on persuasion, but if coordination and mobilization are brought into analytic view, the argument that vote-maximizing parties should focus their distributive benefits on core voters is substantially strengthened.
