I am Professor and Chair of Political Science at Barnard College. My broad research interests lie in American elections, parties, and political behavior, with a particular focus on election sciences/administration, elite behavior, party organizations, and campaign finance.
I am the author or coauthor of four books and a number of articles. My most recent book, An American Problem: How the Country Built--and the Supreme Court Broke--the Voting Rights Act (coauthored with Kevin Morris), will be released by Princeton University Press in October 2026 and is available for pre-order now.
My articles appear in The American Political Science Review, The Journal of Politics, Public Opinion Quarterly, Political Research Quarterly, Legislative Studies Quarterly, Political Behavior, and others. My research has also been covered in a range of national media outlets. My work on campaign finance specifically has been utilized as empirical evidence in arguments before the United States Supreme Court, as well as in committee testimony before the United States Senate and several state legislatures and municipalities.
