2022: How Closed Primaries Disproportionately Impact Latino and Asian Voters (for Open Primaries)

I was invited to present my co-authored research on primaries as part of the Open Primaries Virtual Discussions Series. This was a live Zoom event where I discussed the findings of our research and answered both moderated and live audience questions about the impact of primary electoral rules on Asian American and Latinx voting turnout alongside Danny Ortega (attorney & the Former Board Chair of the National Council of La Raza).

2021: A voting rights analysis of high-Latino-CVAP proposed districts in south and east L.A. County: Are proposed districts in L.A. County and the southern California area Latino-ability-to-elect districts? (with Christian Grose)

I assisted Prof. Christian Grose in conducting a racially-polarized voting analysis of proposed high-Latino Congressional voting districts in south and east Los Angeles County. In doing so, we found that evidence of racial polarization in parts of L.A. County which indicated a need for an additional Latino ability-to-elect district. Through reconfiguration of proposed districts, we determined that such a district could be added to L.A. County without diluting the influence of Latino voters in other districts. This analysis was ultimately distributed by Hispanas Organized for Political Equality (HOPE).
