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, political parties, and American political reform. My graduate training at Georgetown University focused on political institutions. I am working on papers about party fragmentation, party identification, minority representation, and political discontent. This work is useful for taking advantage of openings to improve the function of liberal democracy.
