Biography and personal life

Harris grew up in Pittsford, New York, where he attended Sutherland High School. He graduated from Carleton College in 1985, where he studied American history. After graduating Harris worked for The Washington Post for 21 years, having started as an intern just days after graduating. In 1990, he was transferred to the Post's Richmond bureau, covering Virginia politics during Douglas Wilder's governorship. He covered the Clinton White House from 1995 to 2001. In 2003 he was a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution. He became the Post's National Politics Editor in June 2005. Harris began "having conversations" in 2006 with fellow Post journalist Jim VandeHei about creating a new "publication about politics from the ground up". Those conversations led to the launch of Politico in 2007 under the Allbritton Communications banner.

"We have assembled a team of reporters and editors who will wake up each day looking for fresh ways to attack the best political stories in and around Capitol Hill and on the 2008 campaign trail. Along the way, we hope to add to the conversation about what's next for journalism. And we are determined to have fun while doing it – something that is in lamentably short supply in newsrooms these days."

Harris is married to Ann O'Hanlon, and lives with their three children, Liza, Griffin, and Nikki, in Alexandria, Virginia.
