Welcome! My name is Christopher J. Devine, and I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Dayton. I earned my Ph.D. from The Ohio State University, majoring in American Politics with a minor in Political Psychology. My research and teaching focuses on campaigns and elections, political parties, public opinion, and the U.S. presidency and vice presidency. 

My books on American politics include I'm Here to Ask for Your Vote: How Presidential Campaign Visits Influence Voters (Columbia University Press, 2024) and Do Running Mates Matter? The Influence of Vice Presidential Candidates in Presidential Elections (University Press of Kansas, 2020).
