Todd Spangler has been with the Free Press since 2003, previously as an editor in Detroit and more recently (for more than a decade) as Washington correspondent. In that job, he covers politics, politicians and federal policy, three things which, admittedly, often make him scratch his head in wonderment (if not outright confusion). He also occasionally dives into federal court -- particularly Supreme Court -- coverage, if it has to do with Michigan and Michiganders. When he's back in Detroit can be found, at least one night of the trip, at Lafayette Coney.
