As you explore this page, you can see my election coverage ramped up from 2024 to 2026. I started attending more and more high-profile events. All of my 2024, 2025, and 2026 election coverage can be found here as I tried to provide comprehensive, individual voting guides for our region as well as timely election night coverage. As a newsroom we worked past midnight for both the 2024 general and 2026 primary elections.
All my election work except for my wire-to-wire coverage of State Senate District 7 race (under the “My best work” tab on the dropdown for “Writing” above) is here.
To view my other work, you can also click the link included as well as see my 2026 legislative session, Hall County Commission, news coverage, and feature stories.
