A new administration and $209 billion budget. A looming presidential election. A seemingly intractable housing crisis. The political arena in the state capital is a shifting landscape with ripples reaching far and wide.

Our panel of insiders will provide an insightful look at hot legislative topics, Gavin Newsom’s tenure so far and the 2020 elections.

Don’t miss this dive into Sacramento politics and what it all means for our backyard. Plug your whole team in the Sac scene with a table for eight.

Registration includes lunch and program.
