I am associate professor of political science at Washington State University where I teach courses in American Politics, Elections, Media and Politics, Research Methods and Statistics. I am also co-director of the Wesleyan Media Project, which tracked all political ads aired in the United States during the 2010 election season--and is gearing up to do the same in 2012.

My broad areas of research interest include political communication, voting, elections and campaigns, political participation, presidential nominations and survey methodology.

My new book with Michael M. Franz: The Persuasive Power of Campaign Advertising. Temple University Press.
