Joy-Ann Reid has been a valuable reporter on issues during Election 2012, including

• Florida's Governor Rick Scott's voter suppression efforts

The wealth of information and data that Joy has shared coupled with her piercing insight makes her an invaluable contributor to the political landscape.  I look forward to great thing in her future.
