Claudia Uceda is a two-time Emmy and Gracie Award-winning Congressional correspondent for Univision network news in Washington, D.C.

A few career highlights include covering six presidential campaigns, two impeachments, four Supreme Court nomination fights, and the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

She reported live from major stories including the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the deadly 2017 car attack on protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, the tragic collapse of Baltimore’s Key Bridge after being struck by a container ship, and more recently, the collision between a passenger jet and an Army helicopter at Washington’s Reagan National Airport.

Prior to joining the national network, Uceda was a reporter for Univision’s local station in Washington, D.C. where she was also an anchor.

Silvia Foster-Frau is a national investigative reporter covering immigration for The Washington Post. She is also president of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists – D.C. Chapter. Last year, she and her colleagues won a Pulitzer Prize for their reporting on mass shootings and AR-15 style rifles. Before joining the Post she was a reporter at the San Antonio Express-News in Texas.
