In January 2017, Desert Companion ran a feature titled "In the Face of Uncertainty."

For it, reporter Heidi Kyser spent time with several Southern Nevadans who stood to be affected — either positively or negatively — by policies and views that then newly-elected President Trump had campaigned on.

We kept in touch with subjects of her story, and, a year later, followed up with a story gauging whether their hopes and fears had come true.
