I am a political scientist, educator, and author of More Parties or No Parties: The Politics of Electoral Reform in America (2022, reviewed here). My research centers on electoral systems and voting behavior in the United States. My graduate training at Georgetown University focused on political institutions. I am working on projects about party fragmentation, party identification, minority representation, and mass discontent. This work is useful for taking advantage of rare openings to redesign institutions in ways that improve democracy.
