Professor Sullivan has two central research interests: coalition formation and leadership, both intersecting in getting members of congress to do what they would otherwise not do. His current research agenda includes developing a minute by minute accounting of the activities of presidents Eisenhower through G.H.W. Bush during their first hundred days and a project on presidential leadership entitled, Making a Difference: LBJ, Persuasion, Routine, and Reach in the American Presidency.
