Hi there! I’m Jim, a Philly guy in DC and national reporter for Democracy Docket.
Before this, I was a features writer for Roll Call and a financial services reporter for CQ. Before that, I was a reporter at WHYY, where I mainly covered transportation for PlanPhilly. I have contributed to Slate, NPR’s Morning Edition, Politico Magazine, The Economist, WBUR’s Here & Now, Philadelphia City Paper, the Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia, Technical.ly Philly, the Penn Gazette, and Philadelphia Magazine. Before all that, I made the mistake of working as a corporate attorney.
I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in ‘08 with a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and earned a JD from Georgetown Law in ‘11. My law licenses in Pennsylvania and New Jersey are currently inactive.
