Zohran Mamdani wins!
He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.
Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

DM me or email me if you want to learn more about publishing with CP! This is a really exciting moment for the journal.
I'm honored to have become co-Editor-in-Chief of Comparative Politics, alongside Eva Bellin of Brandeis. After thirty years of amazing service, Lenny Markowitz and Ken Erickson, have passed the torch. Along with our extraordinary editorial committee, I'm excited to see the journal into its next era.

9) Theory-Driven Articles: Although our articles are rooted in deep case knowledge, they speak to broad issues in comparative politics. We seek work that is theory-driven, that asks big questions about politics around the globe, and that will contribute to conversations outside of a specific region.

We have new editors in chief at Comparative Politics! I'm excited to work more closely with @nickrushsmith.bsky.social and Eva Bellin. It's bittersweet to say goodbye to our old editors in chief, Ken Erickson and Lenny Markovitz, but I'm really excited about the future of the journal. Submit to CP!
