About Laura Belin
Laura got her start in journalism working for Radio Free Europe and other outlets in Russia during the Yeltsin years. She returned to Iowa and brought that passion to the world of Iowa politics.
Des Moines Cityview’s “Civic Skinny” called Belin “probably the hardest-working — and perhaps the best — political reporter in the state.” The Fix at the Washington Post has named Bleeding Heartland among the “best state-based political blogs” and called desmoinesdem one of the “top Iowa political tweeters.” Politico put desmoinesdem on its list of “early state must-follows.”
