The Columbus Dispatch: Allison Russo is a rising political star
Political scientist David Niven cited in editorial on Ohio politician
Political scientist David Niven gave commentary to "The Columbus Dispatch", in an editorial covering the political pathways, or lack thereof, for Ohio House Minority Leader Allison Russo (D).

“She’s in Ohio in 2023, and there aren’t a lot of open paths in front of her," says Niven, an associate professor in UC’s School of Public and International Affairs.
Niven is an often-cited expert on American politics. His research focus is on political campaigns, gerrymandering, political communication and death penalty policy.
The article summarizes the political landscape in Ohio, which hasn’t picked a Democrat outside of U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown for nonjudicial statewide office since 2006.
