Research and Fact-Checking

I researched, fact-checked, and reported for Raising Them Right: The Untold Story of America's Ultraconservative Youth Movement and Its Plot for Power, (HarperCollins, 2022) an investigated history of the far right’s youth recruitment efforts. The book follows political activists Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, and Cliff Maloney and their rise within the conservative movement during the first Trump administration. I also worked as a fact-checker at Chicago Magazine, and I recently researched for the documentary Way of Life, which explores the rightward shift in Montana politics and the state’s battles over privacy and bodily autonomy.
