I report all kinds of stories for MPR News. You'll find most of my work on MPRNews.org, though you’ll also hear me on the air sometimes. I like writing about the outdoors and the environment as well as political and economic issues. Mostly, I like stories that come from our audience. What do you think we should cover? What would you like to know more about? Write me at cnelson@mpr.org. Call me at 651-290-1072. My DMs are open on Twitter — @codyleenelson. Let’s talk.
