I research the intersection of parties, elections, institutions and representation. I specialize in incorporating the politics of place and geo-spatial methods into understanding how where the mass public lives and the places political elites represent affect election outcomes, who makes it into office, and barriers to representation. Below are published articles and some programs for R and ArcGIS.
