Since 2013, I have edited four books (including one forthcoming) and six special issues or sections in peer-reviewed journals. My research has resulted in 38 journal articles and book chapters, 28 op-eds, and six working papers on elections, digital media, and the political representation of women and minorities. You can find links to selected publications and public scholarship below. Please feel free to email me for copies of any articles or chapters.
