Marlo Rossi

I am a PhD candidate in Public Affairs & Community Development at Rutgers University–Camden and a Graduate Research Assistant at the Walter Rand Institute for Public Affairs. My research focuses on abortion policy, public opinion, and democratic representation, with particular attention to policy congruence between state abortion laws and resident attitudes following Dobbs v. Jackson. Using national survey data and state-level policy indicators, my work examines how institutional structures shape gaps between public preferences and enacted policy.
