I oversee all editorial content for Arizona News Service, including the Arizona Capitol Times, the Yellow Sheet Report and the Arizona Legislative Report.
I began covering Arizona politics for Arizona News Service in 2004, when I was hired as the company’s House of Representatives reporter. In that role, I was responsible for covering daily action in the House, as well as the complex state budget process, education, immigration and corrections issues. In the process, I won numerous state, regional and national awards for my reporting.
In 2010, I was named editor of the Yellow Sheet Report, the state’s oldest and most prestigious political tip sheet. In 2011, I was promoted to the new position of Arizona News Service Editor and given oversight of all of the company’s publications. Under my leadership, the Arizona News Service team has been honored with dozens of state and national awards for its reporting, including being named the 2012 and 2013 non-daily Newspaper of the Year by the Arizona Newspaper Association and the Associated Press Managing Editors.
Before coming to Arizona News Service, I covered city government, public safety and business issues for a pair of community weeklies in suburban Phoenix. I am a graduate of Grand Canyon University and attended Northern Arizona University.
