Meet Gracie Stockton

Gracie Stockton is the lead producer for Morning Edition on MPR News, working closely with host Cathy Wurzer to ensure the audience in Minnesota ​and beyond ​is in the know in the early morning hours. Occasionally, you may hear her filling in on air during newscasts and weekends.   

Previously, Gracie was a TV news producer at WCCO​/CBS News Minnesota mornings and at KSTP-TV​ mornings and midday, where she also began her postgraduate career as an assignment editor/digital producer. In 2020, Gracie interned with the APM Reports team investigating voting concerns during the 2020 election. In 2021, she returned as a freelancer, digging into changes in law enforcement de-escalation training, filing nationwide FOIA requests and interviewing Peace Officer Standards and Training Board officials. She also spent time as an intern with the Minnesota Reformer.  

A Chicagoland native, Gracie moved to Minnesota for college and put down roots. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and theatre​ arts and a minor in Russian, and she completed her honors thesis at the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass​ Communication.  

Gracie and her fiance live in Richfield with two sweet, energetic dogs. Outside of work, she loves to read, paint and draw, collect houseplants and is trying out vegetable gardening. Gracie also loves Minnehaha Dog Park and local​ ciders.   

You can find Gracie Stockton on LinkedIn and Bluesky​.
