My name is Joshua Williams, and I am a writer for Ballotpedia and the Lucy Burns Institute. My major focus is on historical ballot measures - currently working towards researching and filling in articles for all ballot measures for all 50 states as far back as possible. A little bit about myself, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in International Relations and a Master's Degree in International Public Affairs. I am currently pursuing a Doctorate in International Studies at the University of Washington. I started out at Ballotpedia as a Summer Intern in 2011.
