State Government & Politics Reporter, Cleveland.com/The Cleveland Plain Dealer
As a statehouse reporter for Cleveland.com, Anna Staver covers all facets of Ohio politics, with a particular focus on elections, marijuana policy, social issues, budgets, redistricting, public pensions, and immigration—especially the complicated or wonky topics others shy away from. With political reporting experience in Maryland, Oregon, Idaho, and Colorado, she brings a national perspective to state-level stories. A former TV journalist and Emmy winner, Anna now spends her off-hours reading fantasy novels, running, baking, and chasing after her two energetic kids.
