Decoding California’s Capitol
State Affairs California delivers nonpartisan coverage of state-level policy and politics with on-the-ground journalists reporting directly from the state capitol — producing timely, high-signal insights that matter to you.

Overview

Launched in late 2024, State Affairs California is a growing team of Statehouse reporters and editors meant to fill the void in Sacramento on trusted, nonpartisan policy and political reporting. We do that by marrying State Affairs’ reporting and analysis with Capitol Morning Report’s calendar dominance and CapitolTrack’s legislative tools.
