Darrian Stacy is an Assistant Professor at the United States Naval Academy. He is a faculty affiliate for the Center for Effective Lawmaking (CEL) and a former graduate affiliate for the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions (CSDI). Stacy's research examines how political elites engage in policymaking and other activities through political institutions, incorporating both formal and quantitative methods to develop and test new theories. His other ongoing projects investigate the causes and consequences of bureaucratic decision-making, presidential power and communication, and the impact of congressional committees on legislators’ career paths and legislative effectiveness. His research is motivated by his passion to understand when and why political institutions work well in addition to how to make them function better. Stacy earned a Ph.D. in Political Science from Vanderbilt University in 2021
