The Post Announces Campaigns and Democracy Team
We're excited to announce the creation of a Campaigns and Democracy team to focus our coverage of campaigns and how they are conducted, challenged and fought, including owning the story of the 2026 midterms and the runup to the 2028 presidential election. This team will be tasked with breaking news on candidates and campaigns, filing revelatory dispatches on voters and the issues and currents animating them, writing deep stories that put local races in national context, and taking stock of the democratic process, including its detractors and defenders. Its work will tell readers everywhere, including leaders in Washington, what they need to know about what's happening around the country. The team's creation reflects The Post's longstanding commitment to comprehensively covering national politics and the state of our democracy. Sean Sullivan, a veteran political journalist, empathetic leader and deft line editor who helmed our standout 2022 and 2024 campaign coverage, will oversee this new team. He was part of the team that was awarded the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting for coverage of the attempted assassination of then-candidate Donald Trump in Butler, Pa. Sean thinks big and has a keen sense of the news cycle, making him a natural fit to take on an expanded portfolio after a distinguished run as Campaign Editor. He will lead this team as it tackles some of the most important stories in American politics and democracy. Sean joined The Post in 2012 and earned the nickname 'Scoops Sullivan' for his reporting on the 2020 presidential race. He covered national politics, campaigns, Congress and the White House before joining the editing ranks in 2022. As 2024 campaign editor, he published stories that dove deep into how Trump reignited his base and took control of the Republican primary; revealed his secret, long-shot plan to end the war in Ukraine; and captured vivid scenes of a country divided. Sean previously worked at National Journal's The Hotline, NHK Japan Broadcasting Corporation and ABC News. He graduated from Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, where he majored in philosophy. Please join us in congratulating Sean on his new role.

New Mexico lawmakers look to change process to remove university regents
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – A bill changing the process to remove university regents is moving forward in the Roundhouse. House Joint Resolution 12 would amend the state constitution to say regents have a fiduciary duty to their institutions, and they could be removed from their position if they violate that responsibility among others. The bill would also give legal standing to the attorney general, or a majority of the regents, to seek their removal in district court. New Mexico legislators look to dedicate entire month to green and red chile The bill comes amid the controversy at Western New Mexico University over misused funds for foreign travel and lavish furniture and the $1.2 million severance package given to its outgoing president. An official with the New Mexico Department of Justice called it a violation of the public trust. 'And we think that this joint resolution goes a long way in ensuring that the public trust is met in instances, that we have good stewards of taxpayer money, and in instances where they don't meet those obligations, we have enforceable reasonable oversight to address these situations,' said Sean Sullivan, New Mexico Department of Justice. HJR12 cleared the House Education Committee Wednesday morning. If it makes it through the legislature, it will be sent to the voters. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
