Starting in Iowa and New Hampshire, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has given you a front-row seat to every key moment in the 2016 presidential race. Our in-depth coverage will continue at the political conventions.
AJC political reporters Jim Galloway and Greg Bluestein, multimedia reporter Erica Hernandez, and columnist Kyle Wingfield will be on the ground in Cleveland for the Republican National Convention. They will be joined by AJC Editor Kevin Riley, a Cleveland native.
Galloway, who helped create our Political Insider blog, has covered politics for 40 years. He’s lost track of the number of conventions he’s covered. Bluestein, the paper’s lead political reporter, has covered politics for about 15 years and has logged thousands of miles this year covering the presidential primaries, debates and key issues. Hernandez, our multimedia whiz, covered her first convention four years ago in Tampa for ABC News as a student at the University of Florida.
Wingfield is in his eighth year as an AJC opinion columnist after previously writing for The Associated Press and The Wall Street Journal. This is his second national convention.
Veteran political reporter Aaron Gould Sheinin will join Galloway and Hernandez in Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention, along with State Politics and Government Editor Susan Potter. Sheinin has covered politics and government for nearly two decades, including the past eight for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He’s covering his fifth presidential election and his fourth national political convention. Potter has led the AJC’s political coverage for more than eight years. At both conventions, AJC journalists will team up with political reporters from our sister papers, the Dayton Daily News, Austin American Statesman and Palm Beach Post, to bring you every development from these pivotal campaign events. An expanded editorial team in the Atlanta newsroom will round out coverage of both conventions.
Each day we will bring you news of Georgia's delegates and officials, the big speeches, protests and every big moment of the convention.
