About me
My name is Stephen Semler and I write Polygraph, a data-driven newsletter that analyzes (and visualizes) politics through a class lens. I have experience in the international humanitarian sector, US federal budget authorizations and appropriations, and policy analysis and advocacy. For more, see my expert profiles with the Economic Hardship Reporting Project and the Forum on the Arms Trade.
What to expect from Polygraph
Free subscribers get newsletters as needed, about once a week. The newsletters are usually short and always have charts.
Paid subscribers receive my utmost gratitude and bonus newsletters with more advanced analysis and inside looks into my advocacy work.
