ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Mike Allen is the chief White House correspondent for POLITICO. He comes to us from Time magazine, where he was White House correspondent. Prior to that, Allen spent six years at The Washington Post, where he covered President George W. Bush’s first term, Capitol Hill, campaign finance, and the Bush, Gore, and Bradley campaigns of 2000. Before turning to national politics, he covered schools and local governments in rural counties outside Fredericksburg, Virginia, for The Free Lance-Star, then wrote about Doug Wilder, Oliver North, Chuck Robb, and the Bobbitts for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, where he nurtured police sources on overnight ride-alongs through housing projects. Allen also covered New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, the Connecticut statehouse, and the wacky rich of Greenwich for The New York Times. Before moving to the Times, he did stints in the Richmond and Alexandria bureaus of The Washington Post. Allen grew up in Orange County, California, and has a BA from Washington and Lee University, where he majored in politics and journalism.
