About Andrea Seabrook

Andrea Seabrook has been covering Capitol Hill for NPR since 2003. Whether she's in session or on the House floor, Seabrook is a true Washington insider, with access to and extensive knowledge of the internal workings of both parties.

A patriot at heart, Seabrook fully embraces the democratic process, and what she refers to "the great train wreck of ideas that is Congress." Her reports have covered it all: from the last Republican Majority, through the speakership of Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats' control of the House, to the GOP landslide of 2010. In her insightful stories, Seabrook explains both the daily complexities of legislation and the longer trends in American politics.

Seabrook and NPR's Peter Overby won the prestigious Joan S. Barone award for their Dollar Politics series, which exposed the intense lobbying effort around President Obama's Health Care legislation. Their most recent collaboration, this time on the flow of money during the 2010 midterm elections, was widely lauded and drew a huge audience spike on NPR.org.

Seabrook joined NPR in 1998, and has since served in a variety of editorial and correspondent positions for numerous NPR programs, including Morning Edition.
