Who writes The Plain Record
The Plain Record is produced by a small independent editorial team committed to clear, factual, politically neutral reporting.
Editor & publisher
Tris Sicignano
Founder, Editor & Publisher
Founded The Plain Record to make the daily work of government readable without political slant. Oversees story selection, editorial standards, and day-to-day publication, and reviews stories flagged by the newsroom’s verification process before they appear on the site. Every article is edited for neutrality, factual accuracy, and plain-English clarity.
Contributing editors
Story summaries, explainer guides, and legislative trackers are written by The Plain Record staff and reviewed against source material. We also monitor wire services, public records, and congressional proceedings to identify stories that matter to readers.
