Professor and Chair, Department of Political Science, Western University

My research focuses on national level politics in the United States — political parties in Congress, the presidency, and elections. I have written about the strategic decisions political parties must make to balance electoral and legislative goals. I also study research methodology and time series analysis including micro-targeting and election forecasting. Additional interests are in British politics and Scottish independence.

I am currently working on projects on redistricting in the United States and several papers on time series methodology in the social sciences.
