Encouraging Black and Latinx Radio Audiences to Register to Vote
Traditional in-person voter registration drives increase voter registration rates in minority communities but became infeasible during the 2020 COVID-19 epidemic. An alternative approach is to promote registration through mass media, such as local radio. We present results from a large-scale experiment testing the effects of radio ads on voter registration. During the run up to the November 2020 election, we identified 186 radio stations with pre…
Have State Policy Agendas Become More Nationalized
Previous work has shown that US voters are focused on national news and national issues and that US elections have become more nationalized. We explore whether state policy agendas have become more nationalized over time. We measure the state agenda by analyzing governors’ State of the State addresses from 1960 to 2016. Our analysis shows that state agendas have become more similar to each other over time and that state agendas are more similar t…
Keeping Your Mouth Shut
Over the period from the heyday of McCarthyism to the present, the percentage of the American people not feeling free to express their views has tripled. In 2020, more than four in ten people engaged in self-censorship.

Second, l…
The Effect of Gender on Interruptions at Congressional Hearings
Women in Congress are highly effective legislators. Yet, if women are more likely than men to be interrupted during committee work, they may face a gender-related impediment. We examine speech patterns during more than 24,000 congressional committee hearings from 1994 to 2018 to determine whether women Members are more likely to be interrupted than men. We find that they are. This is especially true in Senate committees-where women are about 10% …
