My next chapter: Starting on April 20 I’ll be a MMJ for KGAN (@iowasnewsnow) in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. My last day with WPRI-TV is Sunday, April 5. These last two years have been a blast, and I’m excited to tell the stories of Eastern Iowa. “The dream continues.”

Boston Celtics' Joe Mazzulla has won the 2025-26 NBA Coach of the Year award.

Taped our last Beyond the Podium before the June 2 primary with IA-01 Congresswoman @millermeeks (R). Thanks for coming on the program Congresswoman! This will air on @iowasnewsnow Friday.

@aaronmackisey I couldn’t believe it either😂

Putting my coworkers at @iowasnewsnow onto an only in RI thing: Coffee milk.

BETTENDORF, Iowa — @millermeeks rallying one week out from the Iowa primary and touting POTUS support “Donald Trump endorsed me because I'm a fighter.” “And we have a primary, and you all know that, and President Trump endorsed me, even knowing that”

NOW: Iowa’s 1st District Congresswoman @millermeeks (R) and U.S. Senate candidate @hinsonashley (R) campaigning in Bettendorf. Primary is June 2.

Beyond the Podium: 2nd Congressional District candidate Joe Mitchell

I've been getting requests by them for pizza chips. Any ideas on how to get that from RI to IA? 😂

Former state Rep. Joe Mitchell is one of two Republicans vying for Iowa's Second Congressional District this year. The seat is open since Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson is running for the U.S. Senate. cbs2iowa.com/news/beyond-th…

If @joemitchelliowa (R) wins the IA-02 race this year, he'll be the second-ever Gen Zer and first Republican from that generation in Congress. Currently the only Gen Z Congressperson is Rep. @MaxwellFrostFL (D). Both are 29 years young.

In 1998, the United States achieved its first federal budget surplus in 29 years, effectively ending a streak of deficits that had lasted since 1969. ⁠ ⁠ This milestone was achieved under President Bill Clinton, following the passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, which resulted in a fiscal surplus of approximately $69 billion for that year.⁠ ⁠
