Very proud of this, and even moreso because of who I'm sharing it with. @ahylton26 and @Mike_Hixenbaugh are some of the best at what they do, and Hix has been such a great friend/unofficial mentor to me since the moment I got to the Houston Chron seven years ago.

No joke - my first week at the Chron, I sent Hix like a 3AM email because I'd just read a story he wrote about helicopters and was crying like a small child. He's legitimately always been one of my favorite journalists, and it's so cool to see my name next to his on this award.
Here's the story, if you also feel like weeping. wallacehouse.umich.edu/wp-content/upl…
I'm also incredibly thankful to my @TexasTribune colleagues for their support and for letting me yell about neo-Nazis in the newsroom all day. Special s/o to @rebekahallen for editing; @carla_astudi for her data reporting & @AzulSordo for her game-changing Nick Fuentes photos.

@RobertDownen_ @TexasTribune @rebekahallen @carla_astudi @AzulSordo Please don't ever stop yelling about the neo-Nazis and their influence in the TX GOP! (And, yes, I am a sustaining member. )
@RobertDownen_ @LoneStarLeft @TexasTribune @rebekahallen @carla_astudi @AzulSordo Congrats! Your beat is more relevant than ever and you approach the subject of democracy in peril with a sobriety that Molly Ivins lacked back in the day. In your case, it’s definitely no laughing matter.
