As Patch's first Washington correspondent, I bring political coverage and other national news to Patch's local audiences. Before joining Patch I covered national transportation policy for Streetsblog, and before THAT I was a radio reporter, covering both federal Washington and local Washington for public and commercial radio stations. I live in one of DC's densest and most diverse neighborhoods with my spouse and two kids.
