I am an Assistant Professor in the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago. My research examines how the media and electoral institutions shape the behavior of voters and elite actors, and it assesses the consequences of these institutions on accountability and political representation. In particular, I study electoral politics, redistricting, media and politics, partisan polarization, the U.S. Congress, and political parties.I received my Ph.D. from Harvard University and B.A. from Grinnell College. Prior to graduate school, I worked at the Brookings Institution in the Economic Studies Program and at the Treasury Department in the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.My CV is available here.
