Welcome!

I’m a reporter for Talking Points Memo covering Congress and D.C. at large. Previously I wrote for  The Huffington Post, The Guardian, The New Republic, The Washington IndependentInside Health Policy and Raw Story.

Since graduating from Claremont McKenna College in May 2009 with degrees in economics and political science, I’ve covered the health care and financial reform debates of 2009-2010, the 2010 midterm elections and tax cut fight, and the many battles over spending, revenues and deficits in the 112th Congress.

I’ve also covered health policy in depth, including implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the intersection of industry lobbying and reform, the GOP Medicare plan, the push to repeal the physician payment formula, and the congressional fights over health savings in deficit reduction.

Catch me on the twitters.
