👋 Personal news: I was one of the people to take the POLITICO buyout — my last day was Friday. It’s bittersweet to end my seven years here this way, but I’m grateful for all the great stories I got to report, the impact my work had and the great reporters and editors I got to work alongside. I’m not sure what’s next, but if anyone has leads for a policy or politics reporter, I come with a pretty versatile set of skills from the seven years I spent covering Congress, state governments, policy and campaigns for POLITICO & POLITICO Magazine. I’m also open to freelancing in the meantime!

Update: TN-9 Rep. Steve Cohen (who did not respond to requests for comment before this story was published) called me and defended his record "[Pearson] sometimes thinks he's the voice of today and the future. I was that voice 35 years ago. He's got a ways to catch up to me."
