Most candidates lose. Some come back, some do not. In a new paper with @Ajanusz in @PRQjournal , we ask whether Afro Brazilian candidates are more likely than white candidates to step away from politics after a close loss in Brazil.

This special issue uses survey data to explore how Latin American legislators think, act, and respond to shifting political institutions
New Publication! We know money matters in elections and that women raise less than men. What we do not know is who donates. In this paper out in PRQ, I examine donor behavior in Brazil and explore who donates to women candidates. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
Role models are widely believed to increase ambition and spur members of underrepresented groups to stand for office. In the article, link.springer.com/article/10…

When it comes time to vote, you may think having more candidate options is better. But that’s not necessarily the case according to new research from @AJanusz of @UF_CLAS. 🗳️

New paper with Saul Cunow, @desposato, and @SellsCameron: "Too much of a good thing? Longer ballots reduce voter participation," online at @journalEPOP. We argue that when many candidates run for office voters are likely to sit out rather than turnout.

We test this argument with data from Brazilian elections and a voting experiment. We find that voter participation declines as ballot length increases. Importantly, our findings hold even when we provide information on the party of candidates.

Does candidate skin color affect electoral opportunities and outcomes? In an article coauthored with a few awesome @UF undergraduates now published at @ElectoralStdies, we argue that party elites provide lighter-skinned candidates electoral advantages. authors.elsevier.com/a/1gAeq…
In list proportional representation systems, party elites control the order of candidates on party lists. We contend that they reinforce inequalities by placing darker-skinned candidates in lower, less advantageous list positions than their lighter-skinned counterparts.
