 e="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">We study the role of candid
 ate supply and voter demand in political selection. Using two large provinc
 e-representative surveys and data on actual local politicians, we separatel
 y measure the characteristics of potential candidates and how voters value 
 these characteristics. We apply this approach to candidate integrity in Ita
 ly, focusing on organized crime infiltration of local politics. Individuals
  willing to enter politics are positively selected on competence but negati
 vely selected on integrity, while voters place a high value on integrity. A
 cross provinces, lower integrity among potential candidates is not associat
 ed with lower voter demand for integrity. These findings point to a supply-
 side source of representation failure, which we quantify in money-metric te
 rms.</span></p>
