🚨 I’m officially on the job market this year! 🚨 My JMP speaks to a key question in political science: once elected, do racial minorities govern differently from their white counterparts? I study this subject in the context of local land-use policy in American cities.

THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS ARE BACK-TO-BACK WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!

Yoshinobu Yamamoto won Games 2, 6 and 7 of the World Series. He threw a complete game in Game 2, six innings and 96 pitches on Friday and came back Saturday to throw 2.2 scoreless innings on 34 pitches and induce the World Series-winning double play. A legendary performance.

“Jeremiah, what did you go to graduate school to study?”

my article "Equivalency Framing of Problems and Policy Solutions" with Laura Stoker and Amy Lerman was published earlier this year @PolBehavior. we investigate the effects of equivalency, or gain-loss, framing on political problems and proposed solutions https://t.co/r60m3ViVuh

@jeremiahbcha studies #AmericanPolitics, with a focus on how political institutions and local contexts shape policy outcomes. His #JobMarketPaper details how descriptive racial representation results in nuanced policy effects in the context of city housing development.

🚨New working paper 🚨Why do some conservative white people support legalizing abortion and contraception access? We provide evidence across multiple studies that some conservative whites want to minimize the growth of the non-white population https://t.co/k5rE9oXRwm🧵1/n

Excited to share our preprint, "How Responsive is Local Immigration Enforcement to Constituency Preferences?", where Asya Magazinnik and I examine whether county sheriffs are responsive to restrictive immigration preferences. https://t.co/lvOzwKFNKl

Steve and Shiro are leading voices in the question of issue representation - give their PoP a read!

How often do final Congressional decisions on key votes reflect public opinion, and what does that tell us about Congress as a legislative institution? Our collective representation piece now has a home in Perspectives on Politics. (1/n)

I'm rehosting this paper on SocArxiv. Link here: https://t.co/3wLR8iLwwd. As always, comments and feedback appreciated!

This project originated from a common interest that @joncrogowski and I had in committees as a legislative institution. We hope that it will inspire others to work in the same space and continue to study the organization of Congress in the modern age.

We also test additional hypotheses commonly found in the literature, ranging from temporal effects, the 1994 Republican Revolution, and comparisons with other legislative actors, amongst a bevy of other robustness checks.

Additionally, we find little evidence of strategic proposal-making by the president. This accords with seminal formal models of presidential behavior (e.g. Kiewiet and McCubbins 1985).

Using our novel dataset of regular appropriations, we find that the ideological distance between the President and subcommittee median member is associated with a 44.9% increase in the discrepancy between presidential proposals and Congressional enactments.

Conventional accounts argue that committees are "guardians" of the budget and that outcomes reflect their mission of fiscal responsibility. Yet, how has the age of legislative polarization affected their ability to serve in this role?
