supreme court cases, the Connecticut General Assembly, crime, education, economic development, local and state elections,
music and arts, and politics at every imaginable level. Moving to the nation's capital in
1999, Vlahos took reporting jobs on both sides of the ideological spectrum, writing mainly about healthcare, families and
mental health issues for the NASW News. She then shifted to covering Capitol Hill and national politics – including the 2000 Presidential election –
for ConservativeHQ.com , before landing in the Internet policy and technology beat
at the Washington bureau of Bridge News, a global financial news wire now part of Reuters. She began her time at FOXNews.com in June 2001, and as a political beat reporter wrote about everything from national security and civil liberties in the wake
of 9/11, to campaign finance reform, veterans, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Middle East, gun
control,the Department of Defense, the conservative movement and the progressive netroots, the media and the federal budget.
She wrote over 100 "House Hunting" and Senate race profiles for the 2002 through 2006 election cycles, as well as
coverage of the 2004-2008 National Conventions, the 2008, 2012 and 2016 presidential elections, and every midterm
cycle in between. Vlahos also served as an editor, writer, and social media director for WTOP from 2013-2017. She has been a regular contributor to The American Conservative
since 2007, concentrating on national security, war policy, civil liberties, the drug war and returning veterans. She serves
