“Scripps News gives me a chance to go to the halls of power and to communities around the country and ask the questions that will shape the lives of Americans and people around the world. Reporting on American politics is more than just about Democrats and Republicans, it's about the policies that ultimately change paychecks, a child's education, health care and more.” - Joe St. George
