I am a senior policy reporter with a focus on telling the stories of how Americans are affected by the policies set in Washington. I have interviewed truckers unable to pay their bills, military families struggling to find child care, ex-convicts who can't get a job despite widespread labor shortages, middle-class families having to turn to food banks, police and firefighters burnt out by excessive overtime, immigrant health care workers who feel trapped in dangerous jobs, and neighbors warring over affordable housing.
