Veteran Politcal Reporter Joins Senate Minority Leader’s Staff

WJZ-TV political reporter Suzanne Collins has been named chief of staff for state Senate Minority Leader Nancy Jacobs (R-Harford/Cecil.)

“Suzanne’s understanding of public policy, the legislative process and her compassion for people make her a wonderful addition to our staff,” Jacobs said Wednesday in a prepared statement.

Collins, who has spent much of her 27 years at the station covering the Maryland General Assembly, will join Jacobs in Havre de Grace for a breakfast meeting on May 2 to begin meeting constituents.

Collins joined WJZ-TV in 1984 as the head of the Investigative Reporting Unit, following a stint at WBAL-TV from 1979 to 1984.

She has served as a news editor, special projects producer and reporter covering the state house through the tenure of four governors.
