Brief biography

I teach courses on American government and research methods. I am a political analyst and have been quoted in local, statewide, national, and international news media outlets. My research focuses on American political institutions (especially Congress), elections, political communication, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.

Most of all, I value the opportunity to work with students. I encourage students who are interested in American government and politics to contact me so I can learn more about their interests. I often work with students on research, and I enjoy helping students figure out how they can translate their interests into a rewarding career.
