Our mission

This is Sam’s Newsletter, in which I cover democracy, data, and science.

I’m a working scientist with an interest in using my craft to understand how and why our democracy has gone off track. Data analytics can help in many ways: understanding where we are politically, how we got here - and use those insights to help find a way out of this mess. A full mission statement is here.

In the last few years I’ve focused on redistricting (the Princeton Gerrymandering Project). Before that, I’ve written during campaign season in election years (the Princeton Election Consortium). I am also on Twitter. My central theme is empowerment: finding ways to give citizens more leverage, and make democracy more responsive to their wishes.

In the months ahead I’ll pursue the theme of how we can use science and data to repair our ailing democracy. I hope you’ll come along for the ride!

Warmly,

Sam Wang

Princeton, New Jersey

Scientist at Princeton. I write about democracy, data, and electoral reform. My tools are data, analysis, and a willingness to cross lanes when the occasion calls for it.
