Alexei Koseff covers Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Legislature and California government from Sacramento.
He joined CalMatters in January 2022 after previously reporting on the Capitol for The Sacramento Bee and the San Francisco Chronicle, where he broke the story of Newsom’s infamous dinner at The French Laundry restaurant. He has written about California politics and government for more than a decade, twice winning the Sacramento Press Club award for best daily Capitol beat reporting.
A native of the Bay Area, Alexei is the proud product of bilingual education. He attended Stanford University, where he graduated with degrees in American Studies and journalism.
The president excluded Gov. Newsom from plans for his visit to fire-ravaged Los Angeles today, but the governor showed up on the tarmac anyway, and the two said they would cooperate. Trump's growing list of demands — and threats to block federal aid — won't make that easy.
Gavin Newsom is echoing the incoming Trump administration as he touts government efficiency. But the governor has expanded the size and scope of California’s government to an all-time high.
La invitación del gobernador Gavin Newsom al presidente electo dice que los californianos merecen verlos trabajar juntos para abordar la devastación causada por los incendios de Los Ángeles. Donald Trump ha amenazado con bloquear la ayuda humanitaria a California, y pronto tendrá el poder de, al menos, retrasar la entrega de la ayuda.
Gov. Gavin Newsom's invitation to the president-elect says Californians deserve to see them work together to address the devastation of the Los Angeles fires. Donald Trump has threatened to block disaster relief to California, and he soon will have the power to at least slow-walk aid.
El gobierno federal suele cubrir el 75% de los costos de reconstrucción después de un desastre mayor. El presidente electo Trump ha amenazado con retener el dinero destinado a la lucha contra incendios en California.
The federal government typically covers 75% of rebuilding costs after a major disaster. President-elect Trump has threatened to withhold firefighting money from California.
Una supermayoría de demócratas y republicanos envalentonados regresan hoy al Capitolio, en desacuerdo sobre cómo reducir el costo de vida y hasta cuánto resistir una segunda presidencia de Trump.
A supermajority of Democrats and emboldened Republicans return to the Capitol today — at odds over how to lower the cost of living, how much to resist a second Trump presidency, where to trim state spending, how to harness tech innovations, and how far to go providing reparations to descendants of people once enslaved.
