Hello,
My name is Sam Lisker and I’m a journalist based in Washington, DC. Currently, I am a Capitol Hill Producer for Scripps News.
Click here to see some of the stories I have worked on at Scripps.
Before joining Scripps in June 2023, I started my post-undergrad career at Spectrum News’ DC bureau as their first News Assistant in 2019. I was promoted to Associate Producer in less than a year and eventually to Producer. At Spectrum, I worked with a team of politics producers and reporters to bring national content to Spectrum’s local TV and digital platforms across the country.
OTHER EVENTS I HAVE COVERED INCLUDE…
Capitol Hill events including Presidential & cabinet member impeachment inquiries and trials, vacating the chair of the Speaker, government shutdown deadlines and committee hearings.
Former President Donald Trump’s hospitalization at Walter Reed and federal indictments in Miami, Florida, Washington, DC and Atlanta, Georgia.
The presidential inauguration of Joe Biden.
2020, 2022 and 2024 U.S. elections.
In addition to news, I work behind-the-scenes on the music podcast Rockin’ the Suburbs. If you would like to learn more about my work as a journalist, please visit my Muck Rack page.
