Hi all. As you may know, six months after running for Congress to represent eastern Sacramento County, I decided to return to my journalism roots to create a free online political publication dedicated to original local reporting, analysis and guest essays for and about Sacramento politics. 

We publish twice a month, and this week, we published our 10th full issue totalling 40 original articles. This current issue features stories you won't find anywhere else. This includes an exclusive report about the huge amount of money Sacramento Co. Progressives gave in the last election cycle to Progressive candidates, causes and PACs outside the area. How much stayed local? Why are the big local donors giving the way they are? Read the full story here.  

Hope you enjoy. We deeply believe information is power in politics, and The Sacto Politico is working to increase that power among voters. To ensure you don't miss a future issue, subscribe for free here. And you can read all past stories here.
