I am the Associate Dean for Research & Strategic Initiatives in the Manship School of Mass Communication at Louisiana State University, where I am an associate professor of political communication. I am also a 2022 Andrew Carnegie Fellow. I study American government and political communication, with an emphasis on political behavior, campaign strategy, and local media.

My first book, Home Style Opinion: How Local Newspapers Can Slow Polarization (with Matthew P. Hitt and Johanna L. Dunaway), is now published with Cambridge University Press' series Elements in Politics and Communication. The proposal for my second book, Storefront Campaigning (with Sean Whyard; expected Spring 2024), is accepted and awaiting advance contract from Cambridge University Press' series Elements in Campaigns and Elections.


​I have written about politics and media for The Boston Globe, FiveThirtyEight, The Washington Post, Vox, Mischiefs of Faction, The Conversation, Nieman Journalism Lab, and Scientific American. I also serve on the editorial board of the journal Political Communication.
