Early life and education[]

Born November 29, 1971, Campbell was born and raised in the Canadian city of Medicine Hat, Alberta.[2] He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Brigham Young University and Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in political science from Harvard University.[3] His doctoral advisor was Robert D.

Politics and religion[]

Campbell writes extensively about politics, religion, and Mormonism and is often quoted in the media on these topics.[5][6] He co-authored the book Mormons and American Politics with Quin Monson and John C. Green. Campbell has written about how the rise of secularism in the United States is a direct consequence of a backlash against the close ties between the religious right and the Republican Party.[7] Campbell has written on the crossover between churches and politics, "I would say to churches, on both the left and the right, that if you want to bring people back to the pews, you want to stay out of politics."[8]
