The Center for California Studies was proud to welcome our first Visiting Scholar in 2012, Professor Stacy Gordon Fisher from the University Nevada, Reno. Professor Gordon Fisher earned her Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Davis in 1997. Her main areas of research are congressional behavior and political behavior. Professor Gordon Fisher has been published in the Journal of Politics and State and Local Government Review.

During her time at the Center for California Studies, Professor Gordon Fisher researched how term limits have influenced the role of staff as a target of interest group lobbying. At a presentation sponsored by the Center for California Studies in April she discussed her findings with the capitol community in Sacramento.
