Christopher Wiggins is the senior national reporter for The Advocate, where he covers the intersection of politics, public policy, and LGBTQ+ lives from Washington, D.C. His reporting spans the White House, U.S. Congress, Supreme Court, and key federal agencies, with a focus on stories that might otherwise go untold, especially under the second Trump administration’s rollback of LGBTQ+ rights. A two-time GLAAD Media Award nominee, Wiggins is known for his deeply reported profiles and on-the-ground coverage. His recent work includes features on former Vice President Kamala Harris, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Rep. Sarah McBride, ABC’s Gio Benitez, MSNBC’s new hosts of “The Weekend,” and a South Bend, Indiana, micro-school for LGBTQ+ youth and allies. He has written multiple Advocate magazine cover stories and frequently reports on the lived realities behind policy headlines.
