@bdomenech I'm a former reporter, with two tips about interesting, important, newsworthy stories. One is about gun control, the other involves election law. If you're interested, please message me.
@MZHemingway I'm a former reporter, with two tips for you. I think you'll find both stories interesting, important, and newsworthy. Please message me if you're interested.
