Kelly Patricia O'Meara
A former House chief of staff, Kelly has become so tough a reporter that government officials are wont to attack her in rival news organizations because of her uncompromising and relentless digging for the facts. A savvy congressional watcher with longtime Washington political experience, she can tackle the toughest stories and deliver time after time. Using a vast network of sources in Congress and around the country, she tracked and plotted censured radar charts involving TWA Flight 800 that the National Transportation Safety Board said didn't exist -- but they did, secretly, and she raised questions as to why the public didn't know. Her investigative reports on child vaccines have generated congressional hearings, as has her work on medicating children with mind-altering drugs. Kelly's insight into the legislative process is priceless as federal policy is developed because many times she is on the firing line to say that just enforcing the laws on the books ought to be enough to deal with problems at hand without passing yet more bills that taxpayers foot. Kelly is a member of the congressional press galleries and a frequent guest on national talk radio and often can be seen on the national television talk shows.
