Biography

Justin Grimmer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science.  His research interests include political representation, Congress, bureaucracies, and political methodology.  His book project, Representational Style: What Legislators Say and Why It Matters, demonstrates that to understand how representation occurs in Congress, one must examine how legislators engage constituents outside of it.  Justin received his PhD from Harvard University in 2010 and his AB from Wabash College.  During academic years 2011-2013, Justin will be a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institute.
