About this event

with Katie Tenpas. TBD

Kathryn Dunn Tenpas is a visiting fellow in Governance Studies and director The Initiative on Improving Interbranch Relations and Government. Tenpas is also a practitioner senior fellow at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center and serves on the Advisory Board of the White House Transition Project.

Tenpas’ research addresses the intersection between the presidency and politics, focusing on presidential personnel, Senate-confirmed appointments, transitions, reelection campaigns and trends in presidential travel and polling. Her studies of White House staffing include an original database that tracks turnover rates among senior staffers. During the Trump administration, it reached over 750,000 page views in its three-year run, making it one of the highest performing pages at Brookings. In addition, she has written or coauthored pieces on key units within the White House (Office of Political Affairs, Staff Secretary, Counsel’s Office, Faith-based and Community Initiatives and the Office of the First Lady).

Tenpas has authored the book, “Presidents as Candidates: Inside the White House for the Presidential Campaign”, and published over sixty articles, book chapters, blog posts, op-eds and papers on a variety of presidency-related topics. Tenpas earned her B.A. from Georgetown University in 1985, and her M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Virginia (in 1989 and 1993 respectively).
