Primary Election Ballot Preparation

California’s primary election is less than a month away, and ballots are going out to voters full of information on races — from statewide offices like governor and attorney general, to local city council seats. But navigating this much information can be overwhelming as voters try and make informed decisions. Kim Alexander, Founder and President of the nonpartisan California Voter Foundation joins Insight with tips on how to navigate the many candidates and races on your ballot ahead of Election Day.

Governor Candidate Katie Porter

Top of the ticket is the race for California governor. We’re continuing our series of conversations with the gubernatorial candidates. Up next is former Congresswoman Katie Porter, who just received an endorsement from the McClatchy California Editorial Board, which includes the Sacramento Bee. We’ll learn what sets her apart from the other Democrats in a crowded field, as well as her first priorities in office if elected.

Insight has reached out to all gubernatorial candidates. You can find our ongoing interviews here. 

Local ‘Tiny Desk’ Concert Submissions

Twelve years ago NPR started the Tiny Desk Contest where unsigned artists across the country enter a video of their original music for a chance to play a Tiny Desk Concert of their own in Washington D.C. Two years ago Sacramento’s The Philharmonik won the top prize and this year close to a thousand Northern California artists threw their hat into the ring. Today on Insight, Senior Producer Andrew Garcia joins Communities Reporters Keyshawn Davis and Ruth Finch to preview some of their favorite entries.
