Research Agenda

My research focuses on interest groups - specifically, the way groups influence their members perceptions of government and politics and interest groups' influence on the broader political system. I draw on my extensive experience working with interest groups to develop research questions that are grounded in the practical problems that interest group practitioners face and that take into account the way interest groups operate in the U.S. system.
