Sean Whyard

Welcome! I am a doctoral candidate at Louisiana State University. I study American politics with an emphasis on campaigns, elections, and voting behavior. My first book, Storefront Campaigning (with Joshua Darr) is forthcoming in Cambridge University Press' series Elements in Campaigns and Elections. We examine the role field offices play in presidential elections spanning from 2008-2020.

My first dissertation article, From Handshakes to Texts: Voter Contact in the 2020 and 2022 elections, is forthcoming at Party Politics.

Prior to graduate school, I spent several years working in government affairs and on electoral campaigns. I grew up in Jacksonville, FL. Go Jags!
