site on self-financed candidates in U.S. elections
2008-09: I will be offering three undergraduate courses: Congress (PO 309, Fall), Interest Groups (PO 345, Spring) and Political Regulation (number not yet assigned, Fall). I will also teach one graduate seminar, "What is Political Science and How Do We Do It?" (PO 777, Spring).

Visible in the photo: Jane Harman for Congress, 1996 (campaign manager); Clinton-Gore '96 (presidential elector from California); Kathleen Brown for Governor [of California], 1994 (research director for KB's general consultant); John Peavey for [Idaho] Governor, 1994 (the Peaveys were friends of mine in Idaho but I did not actually work on John's gubernatorial campaign); Dick Riordan for Mayor of L.A., 1993 (yes, a Republican! I was a researcher and copywriter for Riordan's general consultant); Yes on the BallPark (Proposition P), San Francisco, 1989 (I was an intern for the organizing crew); Democratic National Convention, 1992 (delegate for Paul Tsongas)
