Marianna Sotomayor Career

Sotomayor is a Congressional reporter and producer at the Washington Post. She reports on Democratic and Republican leadership in the House of Representatives.

She joined the NBC News team as a Tim Russert Fellow and served as a general assignment field producer, web producer for the political unit, and research assistant for Meet the Press. During her time working for NBC News, she covered Congress and Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. She moved up to Associate Producer and focused mostly on Capitol Hill in 2016. In May 2019, she began working as a political campaign embed, documenting the 2020 election.

During an interview with  Politico, she told her story about her start in journalism; She grew up being a political campaign junkie and thanked her parents. They were always attuned to the news and every election cycle as Florida voters. “Even though political journalism was always on display on my TV screens at home growing up, I did not realize that was what I wanted to do until teachers and friends began to tell me I was a skilled writer.” The idea clicked when she was a preteen and an avid fan of boy bands.

She saw that people had jobs just asking questions to my favorite celebrities. “But it took a trip to Washington, D.C., in high school to make me realize that political journalism was it for me. I remember thinking that it was so much cooler asking senators and members of Congress questions in an effort to hold them accountable, which also made me see the job as worthwhile public service. I still get an adrenaline rush watching impeachment and the campaign trail develop before my eyes.” Moreover, she is a member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
