On the cover
Award-winning photojournalist André Chung considers himself lucky to have snagged a slot on Rep. Lauren Underwood's busy schedule. "Add to that a pandemic that forced an outdoor location for the [physically distant] portrait session, and temperatures over 90 degrees, and the operation had to be quick and in the shade," he says. Despite the less-than-ideal conditions, an accommodating Underwood allowed just enough time for Chung to snap this cover image, which accompanies "Lauren Underwood Has Hit Her Stride."
