I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. I earned my B.A in Political Science and Sociology at Linfield College in Oregon and my M.A. and Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Washington in Seattle. My fields of study are American politics (in particular, religious interest groups), political communication and public policy. My research examines the role of religious interest groups in mediated policy deliberations.
