Far-reaching impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement and historic wildfires; hot legislative issues such as homelessness and energy; and the ever-escalating battle with Washington – the political landscape in California is as complex as ever.

With election results hot off the press, our panelists will provide a behind-the-scenes look at:

  • What candidate race and proposition outcomes mean for CA
  • Major bills to keep an eye on in 2021
  • How the events of 2020 have affected process and policy in the capitol
  • The shifting balance of power between the Legislature and the Governor
