My name is Shaanth Kodialam Nanguneri, and I'm a reporter at the Oregon Capital Chronicle, where I cover Gov. Tina Kotek and the Oregon Legislature. I was previously a freelance journalist and graduated this year from the University of California, Los Angeles with a focus on geography and communication.
