Senior Congressional Reporter

I have covered Capitol Hill for the past 15 years and joined NBC News as a senior congressional reporter in 2022. I previously reported on Congress for Politico and The Hill. I have covered five House speakers, two Donald Trump impeachments, countless legislative battles and leadership fights, and reported from inside the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack. I graduated from UCLA, where I wrote for the student newspaper, The Daily Bruin, and am a longtime member of the Asian American Journalists Association. I live with my wife and three children in Maryland, just outside of Washington.
