Reporter, Government and PoliticsEmail: lucas.woods@kunc.org
I’m the Government and Politics Reporter at KUNC, which means I help make sense of the latest developments at the Colorado State Capitol and how they impact everyday people. I cover Colorado's legislature, governor, government agencies, elections and Congressional delegation.
Much of my work is focused on stories that help the public understand the impacts Colorado's government and its policies have on everyday life. But there’s more to it than that, especially these days. Fact-based journalism about elected officials, elections, and government policy helps the public participate in the democratic process and holds those in power accountable. I’m also a firm believer in public radio as a way get that reporting to the public. KUNC and stations like it go a long way in keeping the news independent and free for everyone.
Before joining KUNC, I was the news director at KSJD, an NPR station in Montezuma County, in Southwest Colorado. When I’m not reporting, I could be exploring a new neighborhood in Denver or a trail in some far-flung corner of our beautiful state.
