NEW PRQ EDITORS ANNOUNCED
The Western Political Science Association would like to announce the selection of new editors for the Political Research Quarterly (PRQ):
Seth C. McKee, Texas Tech University
Editor in Chief, American Politics Field Editor

Frank C. Thames, Texas Tech University
Comparative Politics and Gender Politics Field Editor
Sophia Jordán Wallace, University of Washington
Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration Field Editor

The McKee team was approved by the WPSA Executive Council at its August meeting in San Francisco, California. The team will be replacing Jeanette Mendez (Oklahoma State University), James Scott (Texas Christian University), and Clarissa Hayward (Washington University) at the conclusion of their term in July 2018. The association would like to thank Jeanette, James, and Clarissa for their service as PRQ editors. During their tenure, the three editors oversaw a continued expansion in the quality and reputation of the quarterly. Their work has been stellar, and the association is very appreciative of all that they have done.
The association would also like to thank Cyrus Ernesto Zirakzadeh, University of Connecticut, for chairing the PRQ Editor Search Committee, and the other members of the committee:
Mark Button, University of Utah
Val Martinez-Ebers, University of North Texas
Gary Segura, University of California, Los Angeles
Richard Clucas, WPSA Executive Director
Finally, I would personally like to thank all the applicants for the editor position. The WPSA and PRQ could not succeed without the support of individuals like you. I thank you for applying and hope to continue seeing you play an important role in the association.
Congratulations, Seth, Toby, Frank, Sophia, and David. All of us involved in the association look forward to working with you.
