Anne will make her return to the national staff after spending a year in Palo Alto finishing her Knight fellowship. Upon her return, she will organize the Post’s presence at the 2016 presidential conventions and take a lead in executing the Post’s debate strategy. She has more than 15 years of experience covering presidential campaigns.
