In 2016, Holzman interned for the
New England Center for Investigative Reporting in
Boston.
Early congressional career In January 2017, during the week of the
first inauguration of
Donald Trump as
US President, Holzman started working as a
congressional reporter on
Capitol Hill. She initially worked for
Congressional Quarterly's Roll Call as a legislative researcher, before taking on the role of energy and environment reporter in May 2018. From February 2020 until October 2021, she worked as a metals and mining reporter for
S&P Global Market Intelligence. On January 17, 2023, she appeared on
C-SPAN, where she discussed the energy and climate policy goals in the
House Republicans' "Commitment to America" plan.
Departure from congressional journalism On May 22, 2024, it was reported that Holzman would be leaving Axios.
''Why I'm leaving congressional journalism'' On June 1, 2024, Holzman published an article through
Medium entitled ''Why I'm leaving congressional journalism.'' In the article, she writes about coming out as a
trans woman in 2021 while working at the
Capitol, as well as the subsequent experience of being one of the only openly
transgender reporters on the Hill. Holzman writes about the emotional distress caused by the way the story was covered by her professional peers on the Hill, and mentions, firstly, the failure of many to "say whether they asked the [William Way] center if the claims were true" and, secondly, the failure of any to adequately scrutinize the source of the accusation, Libs of TikTok. Raichik has openly admitted to falsely accusing an innocent trans woman of carrying out the
Uvalde school shooting. Holzman goes on to compare the current media climate around the coverage of
transgender rights to the way climate change was previously covered, describing how equal weight had to be given to
climate deniers despite the overwhelming scientific consensus against them. She suggests that more news outlets need to assign
beat reporters to cover LGBTQ+ issues, preferably hired from within the community itself.
Heatmap News On June 20, 2024, it was reported that Holzman had been hired as a senior reporter for
Heatmap News. She is the author of their newsletter
The Fight, which covers "local conflicts in the energy transition." == Music career ==
