RIVERSIDE, Calif. — As campaign rhetoric heats up heading into the November elections, scholars at the University of California, Riverside are available to discuss issues from California’s initiative process and the impact of foreclosures on voting to immigration policy and the economy.

Karthick Ramakrishnan, associate professor of political science(951) 827-5540(818) 305-4865 (cell)[email protected]www.karthick.com
Ramakrishnan has been researching immigration and public policy for 15 years. He is available to comment on the impact of Mitt Romney’s support for state immigration laws on his standing with Latino voters, who will play a significant role in battleground states such as Florida, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico. Ramakrishnan also can comment on issues involving the Asian-American vote in some key states for the presidential and Senate races, including Virginia, Nevada and Florida. He also can comment generally on Asian-American policy priorities based on the only nationally representative survey of Asian-American voters done so far. He will lead a new survey of Asian Americans this summer, with results to be announced in mid-September. Ramakrishnan has received fellowships and grants from several national foundations, and has provided consultation to public officials at the federal and local levels.
