I am so excited to announce that I'll be joining MS NOW as an Elections Data Analytics Manager. There is so much work to be done in the final stretch leading up to the 2026 midterms, but I'm eager and enthusiastic to jump in and be in the thick of it at a critical moment in U.S. politics.

There is growing evidence that Republicans have become somewhat less likely than Democrats to participate in polls, particularly in the past three presidential elections. In 2020 and 2024, weighting our post election polls by party improved accuracy by about 1-2 percentage points per candidate.

My dad passed away suddenly and unexpectedly this week while returning from a trip with my mom for their 40th anniversary. He was such a great dad. He raised 6 kids. He was selfless. He worked for Walgreens for 35 years and was very proud I earned my PhD at Princeton. I am heartbroken.
