Lee Drutman is an American political scientist. He is a senior fellow at the New America Foundation. He is known as an advocate for proportional representation with ranked-choice voting in the U.S. political system, arguing that it would reduce political polarization and minimize the risks of democratic backsliding.[1][2][3][4] He has advanced his arguments in favor of proportional voting in the 2020 Oxford University Press book Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop: The Case for Multiparty Democracy in America.[3][5][6] In 2021, Washingtonian magazine listed him as one of the most influential people of Washington D.C., citing his advocacy for proportional voting.[7] He is a regular contributor to 538, where he writes on current affairs.[8]

He is also the author of the 2015 Oxford University Press book The Business of America Is Lobbying.[9][10]

He has a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, and a BA from Brown University.[9] He received the 2016 American Political Science Association's Robert A. Dahl Award for "scholarship of the highest quality on the subject of democracy".[9]
