I’m delighted to announce the hiring of two terrific reporters who will help us beef up for the midterms and add investigative muscle to our coverage of the struggle over American democracy.
Jazmine Ulloa, a versatile and talented national political reporter for The Boston Globe, is joining us as a roving midterm reporter based in Washington. And Alexandra Berzon of ProPublica is bringing her firepower as an investigative reporter to dig into the fight for the controls of our electoral system.
As a reporter in the Globe’s Washington bureau since 2019, Jazmine covered everything from Congress to the Supreme Court, often dropping into breaking stories with little preparation and having to write smart, analytical “second-day stories on the first day,” as she put it. She also distinguished herself with beautifully written pieces from across the country, like an in-depth 2019 look at how attitudes about Trump’s impeachment reflected changes in a battleground district in Michigan, and another on how an Ohio city ravaged by opioid addiction wasn’t waiting for solutions to its problems to arrive from Washington.
