Josh Voorhees

Josh is an investigative journalist focused on the corporate and political actors driving the climate crisis, harming public health, and undermining democracy.

Previously, he spent nearly a decade covering national politics and policy for Slate, where he also helped unionize the newsroom. Before that, he reported for Politico, where he edited and wrote one of the publication's first newsletters on energy and climate policy, and for E&E News, where he covered transportation, energy, and climate from Capitol Hill.

His environmental journalism has also been published by the New York Times and Scientific American, among others, and his watchdog reporting has helped spur two separate congressional investigations—the first into safeguards at a federal nuclear waste and weapons complex in the American South and the second into financial conflicts of interest inside the White House.

He holds a BA from Davidson College and an MPH from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where he specialized in the science and practice of environmental and worker justice, and is a member of the Delta Omega Public Health Honor Society.
