POLITICO

My work for POLITICO is constantly updated here. 

Duties for the publication have included identifying and writing breaking news stories, pitching and reporting on enterprise stories, curating and contributing content for the Morning Media newsletter, flagging stories and fact checking for Playbook, maintaining transcripts for events such as James Comey's testimony, and co-writing lead stories with veteran POLITICO reporters. 

Highlight stories from the summer of 2017 include: 

1. Alabama agonizes over Trump attacks on Sessions

2. GOP base asks, 'What Russia scandal?'

3. Georgia voters see presidential-level stakes in special election

4. Sherman and Green draft articles of impeachment

5. Obama optimistic despite 'temporary lack of U.S. leadership' 

6. DeMint launches new group to boost conservatives in Washington
