Gov. Jerry Brown is serving his final months in California government at a critical time for the state, as it remains the steadfast opposition to the federal government. Lawsuits were filed for California’s sanctuary state laws. The governor has been deeply involved in climate change agreements with other countries after the US exit from the Paris Agreement, and state leaders espouse progressive social ideals.

The California Sunday Magazine contributing writer Andy Kroll shares his feature "The Last Days of Jerry Brown." He conducted a series of interviews with Gov. Brown exploring the issues close to his heart now and reflecting back on his 40 years in California politics.
