POLITICO’s California Playbook

Governor Gavin Newsom was supposed to deliver the State of the State speech about a month ago. He delayed it due to the uncertainty over the outcome of the Prop. 1 vote. Now that the votes have been certified and the proposition passed - will Californians hear the address anytime soon? POLITICO’s California Playbook co-author Dustin Gardiner joins us with the latest in state politics - including why Paris Hilton was at the State Capitol this week.

Political Views of Young Californians 

Younger Californians - between the ages of 18 to 34 - have similar voter registration numbers when compared to older generations. The difference comes down to voter turnout - younger people historically trail behind those 35 and older. A new report from the nonprofit think tank Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) dives into the political views of this emerging electorate in California. PPIC Senior Fellow and Policy Director Eric McGhee discusses the distinct differences among younger California voters, and how that will shape the future of the state’s democracy.

An annual celebration of local food, drink and business is making its way to East Sacramento this weekend.
