Shining a Light on Who Voted and Who Should Run

Nick Carnes thinks working-class Americans need seats in government, and that all of us deserve more than polarized, angry politics.

I’m reluctant to discourage people who look at the 2016 election — Republican or Democrat — from interpreting it as a sign that the working class is important. Every class of people is important and deserves to have their needs taken seriously by government.

His endowed Creed C. Black Associate Professorship of Public Policy and Political Science provides the support Carnes needs to perform original research and analysis to reveal the truth behind election results and the voting that led to them.
