Sacramento sits at the intersection of policy, politics, and progress. With California’s legislative session in full swing — and a high-stakes election looming — decisions made in the capital will ripple across the state and reverberate nationwide.

 

From landmark housing proposals and ballot measures reshaping the policy landscape, to the state’s evolving role as a tech and climate bellwether, the path forward in Sacramento will help define America’s future.

 

 Join POLITICO for the return of The California Agenda: Sacramento Summit on Tuesday, Aug. 11 to discuss the forces shaping California’s next chapter with policymakers, political and business leaders, and beyond.
