Abstract
Despite extensive research into state government corruption, little is known about when or why governors engage in corruption. This article presents a study of ten states and examines the previously unexplored possibility that career path plays an important role. It finds that state government insiders are more likely than outsiders to engage in corruption as governor. This is an important issue, since many governors will continue to have been socialized in the state legislature before assuming office.
