When I met Jessie Jacobs this summer, she desperately needed her home to be repaired due to catastrophic Harvey damage from 6 years ago.

Now, I am *so pleased* to report, the state is taking action. Jessie's house will be rebuilt.

A story of resilience:

Working w/ @MagEGordon is journalism nerd paradise. Talking sentence structure, word choice & idiosyncratic grammar w/ her makes any story better.

Any newsroom worth their salt should scoop up this talent. I aspire to write w/ as much insight & edit w/ as much grace as Maggie.

🧵and hire @MagEGordon !

[Marie D. De Jesús 🇵🇷 @MarieDennise]

I loved working with Maggie Gordon. She’s a brilliant journalist who knows this craft inside and out and she’s one of the most supportive colleagues I’ve ever had. She shows up for her coworkers and for the community. Any newsroom would be lucky to have her.

[Gwendolyn Wu @gwendolynawu]

Maggie helped me build my confidence as a health reporter and I will forever be grateful to her for that. You should 100% hire her if you care about great storytelling.

[Danya Pérez @DanyaPH]

Please read… @MagEGordon is by far one of the best journalists I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Any newsroom would be so lucky to have her!!

[Eileen Grench, OLY @GrenchPAN]

Maggie is a stellar writer, dogged reporter and meticulous editor who is also an A+ colleague. She makes everyone around her better and I literally could not think of a more quality hire for any newsroom. I miss sitting next to her every day!

The inimitable and talented Maggie Gordon is in need of a journalism job. She deserves your consideration. #Texas #Houston

[Clare Amari @Amari_Clare]

For anyone wanting smart, unexpected takes on #Texas politics/culture, @MagEGordon is a great follow. For example, when ICE targeted #SalgadoAraujo bc of his white van, Maggie found more than 1,600 white vans were registered in that neighborhood. Editors, take note!

[Matt Lanza @mattlanza]

[Maggie Gordon @MagEGordon]

I love journalism. I believe in journalism. And I know I still have a lot of great journalism to do.

[Maggie Gordon @MagEGordon]

I didn’t see this coming. But for the first time since the week I turned 16 and landed a cashier job, I find myself unemployed.

My plucky upstart of a newsroom, Straight Arrow, announced Friday it would cease all operations… Friday.

If you want someone who can launch and run a freelance arm of a business, run your newsroom, write something that will make you cry, or edit something that will bring power to account, think of me.
