Spencer Vance is a senior correspondent covering politics, policy, and institutional power in Washington D.C. With over 12 years of experience reporting on the intersection of governance, economics, and technology, she brings deep expertise to stories that shape American life.

Her reporting focuses on the mechanisms of power — how institutions work, who they serve, and what happens when they fail. She has covered five presidential campaigns, three Supreme Court confirmation battles, and the structural transformation of the American economy in the digital age.

Before founding The Feature Paper, Aanya served as a Washington correspondent for major national outlets, where her investigations into regulatory capture and corporate influence earned recognition from the Society of Professional Journalists. Her work has been cited by congressional committees and academic researchers studying democratic governance.

Aanya holds a Master’s in Political Journalism from Columbia University and a Bachelor’s in Government from Georgetown University. She is a member of the National Press Club and the Online News Association.
