As Walz stumps in York post-debate, we talk to voters
Gov. Tim Walz stumps in York post-debate, WITF talks to voters
Ben Wasserstein, Capitol Bureau Chief / WITF
Howdy, I’m Ben, and I cover the state Capitol. In an alternate universe, my bio would read that I graduated from college, traveled to Bhutan and trained in martial arts so that one day I could return and defend my city from crime … like Batman.
In reality, I graduated from the University of Richmond in 2021 and joined WITF in June of 2023. In between I was down in Charleston, South Carolina at the Post and Courier.
I like helping people and, in my opinion, one of the best ways to do that is to inform them. That’s why I love reporting and covering politics.
When I’m not working, you will probably see me with my dog Ozzy, consuming an unhealthy amount of coffee or visiting some local bars.
