Miles Hartman is an ambitious political reporter originally from Wisconsin but currently in DC working the high-pressure Capitol beat for Capitol Press. A graduate with a strong academic background, Miles cut his teeth as a freelance journalist, chasing small but meaningful stories before earning his current role. Known among his peers for his strategic thinking and relentless work ethic, he has quickly built a reputation as someone willing to dig deeper than most to uncover the truth behind political narratives. Raised in a middle-class household that valued education and curiosity, Miles developed an early interest in government and media. His natural talent for public speaking and sharp communication skills have made him a frequent presence at press briefings, where he isn’t afraid to ask tough questions. Despite his growing success, Miles struggles to maintain balance in his personal life, often prioritizing work above all else. Driven by a deep motivation for knowledge, he views journalism not just as a career, but as a responsibility to inform the public and hold power accountable. However, beneath his composed exterior lies a persistent fear of failure—of missing the story that matters, or being outpaced in an increasingly competitive media landscape. This fear fuels his intensity, pushing him to chase every lead and stay one step ahead in the fast-moving world of political reporting.
