Eli Stokols, who joined the Wall Street Journal’s Washington bureau in March 2017, has left, according to a report by Michael Calderone of Politico.

Stokols had been part of the Journal’s White House team. He came from Politico. Before joining Politico in the spring of 2016, Stokols spent almost a decade covering politics in Colorado for Denver’s KDVR-TV, where he won a number of local Emmy awards and was recognized as one of the most influential political reporters in the state.

In addition to his on-air work filing daily reports, hosting a Sunday morning interview program and anchoring evening newscasts, he maintained a political blog and contributed written features to Politico Magazine and Denver’s 5280 Magazine.

A southern California native now living in Washington, D.C., Stokols began his journalism career in Louisiana. He is a graduate of Cal-Berkeley, where he pitched for the Cal baseball team. He holds a master’s degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
