About:

Hey, Yacob Reyes here. I am a reporter for Axios based in Tampa, Florida. I have written about state and local politicians, about people turning broken dreams into businesses, and about life after rape for an undocumented woman. I have spent days sifting through public records to hold those with power in Florida accountable. I have withstood aggressive blowback from political operatives and kept writing. Previously, I worked as a staff writer for PolitiFact, covering political misinformation in Florida. Before that, I covered national breaking news on Axios' Newsdesk.

As seen in: Axios, PolitiFact, Teen Vogue, the Tampa Bay Times, the Miami Herald, and KFF Health News, among others.
