Leading up to the 2008 presidential election, he spent nine months in Iowa and later covered the campaigns in South Carolina, Florida and Wisconsin. Between 2009 and 2013, he was based in Phoenix, Arizona, out of which he covered Arizona's immigration crack-down, the Mexican border, wildfires and the Tucson shooting.
