A highly respected political journalist, Jonathan Martin provides sought-after coverage and regularly drives the news by delivering the inside story from the White House and Capitol Hill to the campaign trail well beyond the beltway. As bureau chief and senior political columnist for POLITICO, Martin is among the most trusted reporters in the country with deep connections to the political leaders, power players, and movers and shakers in Washington, D.C. — and across the country. With vast array of sources in both parties and his keen analytical mind, he reveals what’s really happening at the highest levels of American politics. “He was AMAZING! So delightful to work with. We did a meet and greet with our Board beforehand and he was great. He also made sure to have a personal conversation with each person while signing their book. Our audience loved his talk! Was so perfectly timed — the day after what we all thought was going to be a government shutdown, Jonathan had such good insight into what was happening. I think the Q&A was the highlight for a lot of people. And then he went above and beyond by staying a good 30 minutes extra signing books for people who came up to him afterwards. A real class act. I know our members appreciated it.” - Healthcare Company
