Nicole Ludden

Nicole Ludden took over her high school newspaper in Nebraska and never looked back. She graduated from ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism in 2020, entering the industry during the chaos of COVID-19. After stints in the Arizona Republic newsroom and at the Tucson Weekly, she covered local government for the Arizona Daily Star. She joined the Agenda in 2023, where she digs into the antics of Arizona’s Legislature and the policy fights shaping the state. She loves falling down a good internet rabbit hole, making weird polymer clay creations and her two cats, Helly and Burt. Contact: [email protected]
