Research Interests and Specialties:

 

My research interest is in the subfields of American politics, public policy and public administration.  It is concerned with factors which affect the performance of legislators, executives, administrators, and the institutions in which they work at various levels of government.  Current research focuses on the job performance and popularity of American institutions and focuses on “amateurism” and the relationship between career experience and gubernatorial job performance.
