Presidential Endorsements as Voter Cues: Evidence from the 2022 Midterm Elections
All in the family? Assessing the impact of child gender on congressional behavior
We examine the impact of having a daughter on the legislative behavior of members of Congress using original biographical data from 1973 to 2015. Previous research has produced mixed results. We leverage the random assignment of child sex as a natural experiment and expand the analysis by incorporating members' overall roll call voting, voting on women's issues, and sponsorship of women's issues bills. We also replicate and extend Ebonya Washingt…
Dueling incumbent primaries in U.S. House elections
Objective Reapportionment and the attendant process of redistricting cause instances where incumbents are faced with the decision to retire or run against a congressional colleague. We investigate two major questions surrounding the previously understudied population of dueling incumbent primaries: First, under what conditions is a dueling incumbent primary likely to manifest? Second, how are dueling incumbent primaries different from the typical…
Dueling Incumbent House Elections, 1843-2018
Throughout American history some members of Congress are beset with the unfortunate predicament of facing a fellow incumbent in their bids for reelection. One culprit is responsible for these atypical contests: redistricting.

We chronicle and analyze when we expect to s…
Information Valence and Evaluations of Congress and Individual Legislators: Experimental Evidence Regarding Negativity Bias in Politics

These political actors allow us to evaluate voters’ perceptions of somewhat impersonal attitudinal objects (MCs) and very impersonal attitudinal objects (Congress as an institution). We find strong evidence of negativity bias, where individuals tend to place more weight upon nega…
