Tom Steyer

Five ways that California has shaped Tom Steyer, and how he — the state's largest mega-donor — has helped shape California.

A new poll suggests that homelessness is a top concern for many Californians and that more likely voters now disapprove of Newsom’s job performance than approve. Is this a new downward trend for the governor...or just a blip?

With its earlier primary, the Golden State hoped it might finally earn itself some presidential pandering. Thus far, not so much.

In what could be another reflection of California's newly relevant role in the presidential primary, Elizabeth Warren penned an op-ed supporting a California bill that would make it harder for companies to classify workers as "independent contractors." 

Newsom expected to sign wildfire legislation. Bill would put plug in Mojave water-pumping project. Insurance commissioner to return campaign donations.

Ballot referenda, term limits, voting by mail. If the ideas of the newest presidential contender sound familiar, you might be a Californian.

Oregon may join California's cap-and-trade market. Why CSU students pay more for parking. Tom Steyer wades into a new political fight.

Steyer gets a GOP name check. High anxiety over Newsom's weed license backlog. A tax even a CA Republican could love. High-speed make-nice. A judicial slap.

California's top judge leaves her party, the Brock Turner judge asks for money, a memory of the late Judge Newsom, and fingerpointing at the COP.

A new Leglslature arrives, Jerry Brown and Tom Steyer both move on water, California opioid deaths, Pasadena's Al Lowe passes, and wildfire recovery.
