Jobs that prepared me for CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley:
I’m currently a Senior Producer for State of the Union. I started at CNN as an intern in the summer of 1998 (The summer of Monica Lewinsky—an awful year to be an intern!). I’ve worked my way up the ladder here, first at various jobs in Atlanta, and then I moved to D.C. in 2005 to launch The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer. I left Wolf in January 2012 to join Candy’s team for the Election Year. I use my various experiences at CNN every day, but it’s my earlier work that shaped who I am and how I got here.
ON STATE OF THE UNION
Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) talked to Candy about the Benghazi hearings saying "clearly politics was at play" in the editing of the talking points after the attack and revelations that the IRS targeted some Tea Party groups for extra scrutiny: “It is absolutely chilling that the IRS was singling out conservative groups for extra review. And I think that it's very disappointing that the president hasn't personally condemned this and spoken out.”
