Overall, this paper provides a nuanced view of racial representation in the US. Although addressing historical electoral inequalities results in change, these gains can result in policy that maintains, and at worst reifies, existing inequalities in homeownership and segregation.

Institutionally, these preferences are implementable due to a broad culture of district-based deference. Councilpersons hold significant control over the direction of development in their districts, meaning they can streamline and veto individual projects.

Why is this the case? I conducted 60 interviews with current local officials and found that racial minorities are wary of gentrification in their areas. Many also believe that single-family homeownership is the solution to racial housing inequities.

I find that the election of racial minorities leads to more single-family housing, at the expense of multi-family development. Broadly, this bucks conventional wisdom that racial minorities have more progressive policy preferences than their white counterparts.

My JMP speaks to a key question in political science: once elected, do racial minorities govern differently from their white counterparts? I study this subject in the context of local land-use policy in American cities.

I'll be presenting at MPSA April 5 at 8:00 AM at the Palmer House Hilton, 3rd Floor in Marshfield
💡I find that the election of minorities to city councils results in less dense housing development. Using interviews, I develop a framework to understand diversity in local politics
