We had a great conference in Madison last week -- so much legislative studies research to be excited about! Here's a photo of all the conference participants.
Shout out to the many folks that helped with it (present at @jawspolisci.bsky.social@winls.bsky.social!) and the congressional staff and members that helped me piece together the puzzle. More TK on this in book form!!
Excited to share my new article in LSQ on partisan asymmetries in congressional communication! TLDR: Why are Republicans "better" messengers? Institutional resources, powerful leaders, and willing rank-and-file members. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/YJ6AF5...
Lovely views from the @winls.bsky.social conference at UW-Madison this weekend! Presented my chapter on interruptions in the Latvian Saeima and got nice feedback. Also had some great coffee and fun chats with colleagues who study legislatures all over the world. Thanks to the organizers!
