The California GOP picks a new leader at its annual convention. What to call the Athletics when they start playing in Sacramento. Finally, an update on CapRadio’s civil lawsuit against its former General Manager.

CA GOP Convention Recap
California Republicans are ready to seize the day after last year’s success, which included flipping three seats in the state Legislature and increasing President Donald Trump’s vote share in nearly every county. Republican leaders gathered this weekend in Sacramento for their annual convention and picked a new chairperson - Corrin Rankin, the first Black woman to lead the party. Jeanne Kuang is a Capitol Reporter for CalMatters and she joins us now with a recap of this weekend and what it means for the party going forward.

CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state.

Previewing the 'Sacramento A’s'
What’s in a name? The Athletics will soon take the field at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento for the team’s home opener against the Chicago Cubs. It’s a new chapter for the Green and Gold and for California’s Capital region, but you wouldn’t be able to tell from their name, which doesn’t currently include any references to Sacramento. For many of Sacramento’s biggest sports boosters, that doesn’t sit well. Joining us today to unpack all things Athletics are Christina Kahrl, Sports Editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, and Sacramento author and journalist Mark Kreidler.

Former CapRadio GM Responds to Lawsuit
An attorney for CapRadio’s former general manager Jun Reina is denying that his client stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the NPR member station, as alleged by CapRadio in a civil lawsuit filed in December. CapRadio Politics Editor Chris Nichols and Insight Producer Sarit Laschinsky break down the defense's response, and talk about the next steps as the station seeks to recoup at least $900,000 in damages from Reina.

Following NPR’s protocol for reporting on itself, no CapRadio corporate official or news executive reviewed this story before it was posted or broadcast.
