I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In the summer and fall of 2024, I am a Guest Researcher at the "Politics of Inequality" Cluster at the University of Konstanz.
I study democratic representation and accountability, and factors that impede it. My main area of research is the role of money in politics. I also work on the measurement of elite political communication, and analyze its causes and consequences.
