Jonah Messinger is a rising senior at Brigham Young University, where he is majoring in Political Science with a minor in Spanish. He plans to attend law school and remain engaged in politics—a lifelong interest. Jonah served as a missionary for two years in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, where he became fluent in Spanish. Since returning, he has worked as a research assistant for BYU faculty, applying his statistical analysis skills in the R programming language to inspect populism and policy attitudes across western Europe as well as bureaucratic perceptions of democracy in Latin America.
Now at the Media Research Center, Jonah hopes to make a meaningful impact on the media side of the political spectrum by advocating for free speech liberties and staunchly defending conservative values.
