We often ask who wins elections. But who decides to run? New @electoralstudies.bsky.social w/@mhayes.bsky.social: Multi-member districts ⬆️ Black candidate emergence—and political empowerment matters. We revisit assumptions about US electoral design and show who enters the pipeline—not just who wins.
Florida State University’s polisci dept just posted 3 jobs: a junior job in American political behavior and open rank jobs in American public policy and American public law/judicial politics. The Polisci dept here is a great place to work. Come join us!
Happy to answer questions if you have them.
This is an excellent opportunity for early career scholars! Graduate students and recent graduates interested in public opinion or political behavior should apply.
Really pleased that my @annualreviews.bsky.social on "Gender and Leadership in Executive Branch Politics" w/ @tiffanydbarnes.bsky.social is now out!

I think you're right sometimes. But my piece on using names in experiments, for example, would have been much worse if we had done a deep dive into a theory/history of racially/gender distinct names since we really wanted to make a practical contribution.
I tend to like short pieces that make an important empirical contribution without new theory. I recently edited a piece I loved at JEPS that had a null finding that I think is important for political scientists and the public to be aware of, but didn't delve into theory
