Extremely well deserved, Rachel Porter! Excited to see the next iteration of this important research

Watching the communication strategy of the "No's" on the debt ceiling vote will be interesting in the coming days. If you are wondering why members would openly criticize a "bipartisan" agreement, check out our paper!

Come see Rachel Porter present our poster at #polmeth40 tonight! Really excited about the early results from this work that build on my dissertation (colinrcase.com/files/case_mea…)

Next up in our highlighting of JMCs is Colin Case. Colin studies American politics and congressional elections. e.g. Colin shows that incumbent candidates respond to extreme primary challengers by adopting more extreme positions themselves. colinrcase.com/files/case_mea…

Colin Case, Rachel Porter, and I are thankful for the Center for Effective Lawmaking’ support! Stay tuned for our working paper where we uncover what motivates certain congressional candidates to make bipartisan appeals on the campaign trail, and evaluate the implications of these appeals

I am thrilled to share I will be joining the Department of Political Science at the University of Iowa as an Assistant Professor this coming fall. Thank you to everyone who has offered help and support throughout this process, and I can’t wait to get started at Iowa Political Science!

"unidimensional “ideal points” for candidate policy positioning mask important variation in issue polarization at the party level and multidimensionality in left-right positioning at the candidate level." This is like catnip for me. (If I were a cat. (I am not a cat.))

🚨New research from my Bipartisan Policy Center🚨 Michael Thorning & I interviewed over a dozen current and fmr members and senior congressional staff to investigate how primaries impact governing behavior. 🧵1/5

Excited to share that my paper on citizen-to-citizen persuasion, co-authored with Carlos Rueda-Cañòn and Tim Ryan, was just accepted at the Journal of Politics. Link: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/73…🧵

And *very important* is the fact that candidates take ideologically mixed positions; the extremity of positioning varies issue by issue in systematic and important ways (shameless plug: osf.io/preprints/osf/…)
