We at @CalMatters are excited to partner with @Arnold_Ventures and @knightfdn on this vital tool for democracy. And we can't wait to roll it out in Hawaii and Texas. Thank you @JohnArnoldFndtn!
By one count, the number of in-person journalists covering the CA legislature has fallen from peak of 134 to 17 due to budget cuts to state and local news. With the old model broken, we need new tools for state govt oversight. Seeing this, we @Arnold_Ventures funded @CalMatters

My talented JCal mentees' stories are live on https://t.co/pZLobHptTY! Getting to know and work with Raiden and Viviana has been the highlight of my summer, and I can't wait to see where they'll go next. Give their stories a read:
Had the most inspiring week in Sacramento working w/ high school journalists across CA to tell stories about their communities + hold legislators accountable. So proud of my two mentees, Raiden and Viviana, for being so willing to learn; local news needs more people like you! š

Itās five days after #ElectionNight and control of the #USHouse is still undecided. And itās conceivable that uncalled #California races could be the difference. Keep up with the @CalMatters tracker: https://t.co/Lcg7rOMSfy
