Publications
"Campaign-Related Social Networking and the Political Participation of College Students" (with ). Social Science Computer Review 31, no. 3 (June 2013): 257-279.
Examines the political participation of college students and provides evidence that joining online social networks that are political in nature helps broaden who participates and can encourage other more traditional forms of civic engagement.
"Cable and the Partisan Polarization of the President’s Audience" (with ). Presidential Studies Quarterly 41, no. 4 (2011): 693-711.
Finds that presidents’ shrinking audience for national televised addresses occurs disproportionately among those presidents most need to persuade – those who disapprove of the president’s job performance. As a result, presidents find themselves losing the capacity to influence public opinion as a whole and instead preach to their party choir.
"Statements of Power: Presidential Use of Statements of Administration Policy and Signing Statements in the Legislative Process" Presidential Studies Quarterly 40, no. 4 (2010): 686-707.
Finds that presidents blindside Congress through assertions in signing statements about how they interpret and intend to implement laws in signing statements issued as they sign bills into laws more often than they attempt to bargain with Congress by raising their concerns earlier in the legislative process through Statements of Administration Policy.
