Caroline Cummings is an Emmy-winning reporter with a passion for covering politics, public policy and government. She joined the WCCO team in January 2021.
Caroline comes to the Twin Cities from Des Moines, Iowa, where she reported on government and politics as the statehouse reporter for five local TV stations across the state. She covered three sessions of the Iowa Legislature, spending hours covering state policy as it was introduced, debated, and signed into law at the state capitol.
During the 2020 election cycle, she crisscrossed the state to follow presidential candidates ahead of the Iowa Caucuses and had several one-on-one interviews with then-candidates Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg and more.
She was selected for the National Press Foundation's state and local government fellowship in 2019 and her reporting contributions to a special program on the caucuses earned her an Upper Midwest Emmy in 2020.
Caroline was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in the suburbs in Maryland. She's a proud graduate of the University of Maryland Philip Merrill College of Journalism. In college, she reported on the Maryland Legislature and covered hearings on Capitol Hill, experiences that solidified her passion for political reporting.
