My first-ever solo-authored paper is out today (open access!) in @journalrep.bsky.social! What drives Americans to switch their presidential vote based on race over the last 3 elections? I show that it's not general racial warmth, it's changing beliefs about discrimination. (🧵 1/3)

My first, first-author paper is out now in @poqjournal.bsky.social! @nicolehufman.bsky.social, Romeo Gray, and I study how news coverage highlighting a more diverse Congress affects public attitudes. Does emphasizing racial and gender inclusion change how legitimate people think Congress is? (🧵 1/4)

Excited to share a new paper I have out with @nicolehufman.bsky.social and Ryan Vander Wielen! Why do Republican women in Congress violate gendered behavioral expectations and engage in obstructive behaviors when the public overwhelmingly desires compromise? We have answers!
