Rebecca Kheel specializes in covering Congress for Military.com, holding lawmakers accountable for how their decisions affect military personnel and veterans. Her coverage includes military quality-of-life issues in the annual defense policy bill, debates over veterans' health care and benefits, and how political gridlock affects the force.
She has covered the intersection of Congress and the military for nearly a decade, previously working as a defense reporter at The Hill. Prior to coming to Washington, D.C., she was a local reporter at the Orange County Register in her home state of California.
Kheel's award-winning work has been recognized as part of a two-person team that received the 2022 Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation Honorable Mention for National Defense Reporting and the 2023 Joe Galloway Award from Military Reporters & Editors.
She has a bachelor's degree in newspaper journalism and history from Syracuse University. When she is not staking out the halls of Congress, you can find her taking in a concert, volunteering with a dog rescue, or winning at weekly pub trivia.
