I’m a Senior Editor at POLITICO Magazine, based in Washington, D.C. Before that, I was Deputy Editor of The New Republic’s print edition, overseeing the State of the Nation section. I also spent eight years working at Mother Jones, starting off as an investigative reporter and eventually moving up to News Editor, and once was a Writing Fellow at The American Prospect. My work has also appeared in print at The Nation and National Journal Magazine, and online at The Washington Independent.

I may live in DC, but I still hold onto my Midwestern roots. I grew up in Minnesota, and went to Grinnell College, in Iowa.
