As EP of This Week with George Stephanopoulos<\/em> Dax’s energy, passion and love for that show, ABC News, and you, shined every Sunday morning. That same love was extended to his precious girls.<\/p>\n

Our thoughts are with his wife, Veronica, the couple’s two young daughters, and the entire Tejera family.<\/p>\n

Tejera was named executive producer of This Week<\/em> in 2020, and the show rose to the top among Sunday shows in adults 25-54. He made his mark by sending its hosts out on location, expanding the show’s focus beyond the typical concentration on Beltway politics. <\/p>\n

He joined the network in 2017, producing remote-anchored broadcasts from across the country as well as coverage of then-President Donald Trump’s summits with Kim Jeong-Un and Vladymir Putin. Tejera also managed newsmaker interviews and covered Covid, the 2020 presidential election and the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n

He previously was a producer at MSNBC and produced the documentary Hate Rising<\/em> with HBO.<\/p>\n
