- “Disaggregating the Latina/o/x “umbrella”: The political attitudes of US Colombians”
This article examines the political preferences of Colombian Americans relative to those of other Latina/o/x subgroups in the United States. Our findings highlight many similarities between Colombian Americans and other Latinas/os/xs, including partisan affiliation and likelihood of voting. At the same time, there are differences in support for individual political candidates, which suggests diversity of the Latina/o/x vote.

- “Latine Aspirational Status and Support for the January 6 Insurrection”
We argue that an understudied phenomenon, aspirational status, particularly on ethno-cultural and socioeconomic dimensions, can help us understand variation in Latines’ attitudes and behaviors. We explore how these forms of aspirational status, as well as racial resentment, impact Latines’ political attitudes toward the January 6 insurrection. Using the 2020 Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Survey (CMPS), we find that Latines who aspire to a higher ethno-cultural status that approximates whiteness, as well as those who aspire to a higher socioeconomic status and who distance themselves from Black Americans, are more likely to be supportive of the insurrection.

- “Sacred For Whom? Race Ideology and Reactions to January 6th”
We argue that the events of January 6th resonate for a particular demographic of well-informed liberal White voters. We are that liberal minority voters will feel the racial undertones of January 6th more than White liberals. We find that White liberals are less angry about race relations in the aftermath of January 6th, and while they viewed January 6th as an insurrection and blamed Trump and Republicans in Congress for their role, they are less likely to say that racism and White Supremacy motivated the insurrectionists.
