Leigh Ann Caldwell is a multimedia journalist in Washington, D.C.   She covers Congress and the Obama administration but has covered anything inside a white marbled building in the nation's capital. Her political reporting took her across the country for the 2008 presidential elections where she also hosted her own daily syndicated election show Election Unspun.

Before she had time to unpack her boxes in her new city, Washington D.C., she was rushed to New Orleans to cover Hurricane Katrina.  She reported on the devastation and the people’s plight to survive and find solid ground.

Previously, she was a freelance radio and print journalist living in New York City where she reported for an array of outlets from Radio France International to Pilates Style magazine.  Her coverage of the rebuilding of September 11th won an investigative journalism award from the Independent Press Association.

She also launched and runs Radio Rootz DC, a program of People's Production House, which teaches under-served DC public school youth media, radio and journalism.
