I've joined @PhillyInquirer as a politics reporter!
I'll be covering campaigns and elections this midterm season, with a special focus on the Pennsylvania governor's race and an eye toward 2028.
I'm SO excited to be part of a paper I've long admired! Send me a DM to connect 💌

Bucks County Dems chair says Democrat Bob Harvie has flipped the 1st District. AP hasn’t called the race yet, but Harvie will be arriving imminently.
Republican Stacy Garrity concedes the Pennsylvania Governor’s race and said she wishes Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro success in his second term.

Shapiro sewed up the governor's race early. Now his real contest is set to begin with 2028 right around the corner. Story by @gill_mcgoldrick & @mlbaruchman inquirer.com/politics/pennsy…

The Philadelphia Inquirer's political coverage is indeed excellent. It's a must-read for me. And I'm not just saying that because I was an Inquirer paperboy as a kid.
In Bucks, @fallonroth_ has provided stellar coverage of the 1st District. My favorites from her are:
➡️ An examination of the "FBI files": inquirer.com/politics/electi…
➡️ An examination of Fitzpatrick's "independent" record: inquirer.com/politics/nation…
➡️ Unions: inquirer.com/politics/pennsy…
