Hi, I'm Alex.

I'm a journalist based in Austin who's been telling stories about Texas communities since 2016. Currently, I cover transportation and infrastructure for the Austin American-Statesman. Before coming to the capital city to report on state politics and the Legislature, I covered government and public policy in West Texas and the Panhandle.
