Professor David was an economist who worked for the Bureau of the Budget and later for the Brookings Institution, where he became the leading authority on party governance, nominating processes, and conventions. He was a member of the faculty at the University of Virginia from 1960 to 1977. Co-published with the Miller Center for Public Affairs.
