Guys after Q posted the reporters related to the Obama administration, and said there were 98 local, I started digging on our local AZ reporters and came across Matt Yurus. He is married to Kristen Keogh who is also a Phoenix reporter. Kristen was formerly press secretary for the Arizona Attorney General.
