Jonathan regularly provides commentary on voting rights and election law issues in the media, including on CNN, where he was an election law analyst during the 2020 election cycle. He also serves as an Adjunct Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center, where he co-teaches the Election Law Practicum with CLC's Danielle Lang. Before joining CLC in 2018, Jonathan was a litigation associate at Jenner & Block LLP.
