Sent on behalf of Editorial Page Editor Sewell Chan and Op-Ed Editor Terry TangWe have good news to share: After a terrific run editing coverage of the Trump White House and the most tumultuous election in modern times, Jackie Calmes is joining Op-Ed as a Washington columnist. Jackie will interpret national politics and federal policy for our audiences in the West, bringing to bear expertise honed over 40 years of reporting. Starting in 1984, as a reporter for CQ, the Wall Street Journal and then the New York Times, Jackie established herself as an authority on Congress, the White House, and economic and fiscal policy. Jackie joined the Los Angeles Times in 2017 as an editor, a few months after the start of the Trump administration. Jackie is the perfect commentator to assess the political tumult and its implications for policies and people.
