Robin Bravender (it rhymes with lavender) is a Money in Politics reporter at POLITICO. She was formerly a reporter at E&E Publishing, where she covered climate policy and the Environmental Protection Agency. She also worked at Reuters Television’s Latin America desk.

She’s a Michigan native and will proudly show you where she grew up on a map of her hand. When she’s not chasing lawmakers for POLITICO, Bravender can be found chasing Frisbees, playing board games or watching Detroit sports.
