Rachel Looker
I am a currently working as a Congress and Campaigns reporter at USA TODAY in Washington D.C. I earned a master’s degree in investigative journalism and public affairs from American University in July 2022. Previously, I worked as a fellow for USA TODAY's politics and investigative teams where I produced two investigative stories and covered campaign finance, voting rights legislation,
political extremism, House campaigns, the one year anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection and the Jan. 6 committee hearings.
My previous reporting focused on how decisions on Capitol Hill impact county governments on issues related to health, economic development, infrastructure, public safety, the environment and elections.
I have worked in broadcast journalism producing for a local TV station and as an intern at both The Rachel Maddow Show in New York and E! News in Los Angeles. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Digital Media and Broadcast Journalism from Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
