While currently working as CNN’s PM Breaking News Editor, I've got a long history of reporting in and outside of the Beltway. I've spent my time digging through bills, talking to lawmakers, roaming the halls of Congress and sifting through regulations for stories that affect real people outside of Washington, D.C., not just the movers and shakers inside the Beltway.

My top stories from my time at the Washington Examiner:
