During the 2016 presidential election, I worked to cover the state, local, and federal elections occurring within the communities of Ocean County, New Jersey for my website Ocean County Politics. During this time, my reporting on the cancellation of a GOP fundraiser held for then-Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence was featured on an episode of The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC.
The segment highlighted the story I broke about a planned fundraiser that was cancelled due to lack of interest, which Maddow discussed as part of broader coverage of the 2016 campaign dynamics.
