Mattingly leaves Bloomberg for unnamed job

Phil Mattingly, a national political correspondent covering the politics and policies behind the 2016 presidential campaign for Bloomberg Politics and Bloomberg Television, left the company on Monday.

He has another job lined up, but that could not be immediately determined.

In a farewell note to colleagues, he said while he’s “moving on,” he added that “working at Bloomberg has been a series of incredible opportunities.”

Mattingly was previously the White House correspondent for Bloomberg Television and closely covered the 2012 presidential, 2014 and 2010 midterm campaigns. A regular contributor to With All Due Respect and Bloomberg Businessweek,  he joined Bloomberg as a reporter for Bloomberg News in 2010.

Mattingly has also covered Congress, economics and finance policy, the Justice Department and Washington’s lobbying industry. He helped lead the Bloomberg News coverage of the federal response to the financial crisis, as well as the legislative, lobbying and legal battles that followed.

He won a Society of American Business Editors and Writers award for Breaking News during the congressional battle over the 2010 financial reform law. He was also a finalist for the 2012 Scripps Howard award for Distinguished Service to the First Amendment for an in-depth look at the Obama administration’s national security secrecy and its legal crackdown on government whistle-blowers.

Prior to joining Bloomberg, Mattingly was an economics and finance reporter at Congressional Quarterly.
