Thomas L. Brunell (born 1968) is an American political scientist[1] and professor at the University of Texas at Dallas.[2]

Brunell studied political science and earned a Ph.D. in 1997 from the University of California, Irvine.[3] His research and teaching mainly focus on American politics - elections, Congress, political parties, and redistricting. In 2008, he published a book entitled: "Rethinking Redistricting: Why Competitive Elections are Bad for America".[4]

In 2017, he was mentioned as a possible nominee to direct the U.S. Census Bureau[5] but withdrew his nomination after controversy[6] over government experience.[7][8][9]
