These days, Sami Gallegos is the Communications Director for Lorena Gonzalez, the high-visibility Democratic Assemblywoman representing AD80; but before she went to work inside the building Sami covered the capitol as a journalist. Full disclosure - Sami was a Capitol Weekly intern and later worked as a full time reporter for Capitol Weekly before leaving nonprofit journalism for the glamour and glitz of TV's ABC 10. Sami sat down with the CW Podcast to talk about making the transition from journalist to political pro, and what it's like to run the communications shop for an elected official who gets plenty of attention all on her own.
