Rebecca Downs

Rebecca has been involved in journalism for over a decade. While still in college at Fordham University, she joined Live Action News as a contributor. She has also written for LifeNews.com, Students for Life of America, MRC’s NewsBusters, Faithwire, The College Fix, and Red Alert Politics. Most recently, she worked for Townhall as a web editor. Before she officially joined The Daily Signal as the Ohio Correspondent, she was a frequent guest on The Tony Kinnett Cast.

She graduated from Fordham University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts in History and from Regent University’s Robertson School of Government with a Master of Arts in 2017.

Although she began by exclusively covering the pro-life issue, she has since branched out to cover politics at the national level and now focuses on Ohio. Her work has been shared by Donald Trump on Truth Social and by various members of Congress. In her current role, she has interviewed Vivek Ramaswamy and Sen. Jon Husted, as well as attended an event as part of the local press pool for Vice President JD Vance.

Rebecca and her family moved to New Albany in 2023, though she is a native of Long Island. She also spent several years living in the DC/NOVA area, where she covered the 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election. She and her husband, Adam, have four daughters.
