David M Searle

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at the University of California, San Diego. My research centers on political communications, political behavior, congressional elections, as well as issues race and ethnicity. My dissertation focuses on the persuasive impact of television advertising in congressional elections. My work focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms and effects of campaigns on voter behavior. I employ a combination of survey and experimental methodologies to help answer these questions.
