Welcome to the KNX In Depth year-end special podcast—with Mike Simpson, I’m Charles Feldman.  We are looking back on the year that was in local politics for Southern California, and what a year it was when decades-long conventions were turned upside down.  As red Orange County turned blue, Democrats solidified their grip on just about every level of California’s government.

The era of Jerry Brown in California, which spanned four decades, came to an end and a young,  ambitious governor will take the helm.  There was an upset of historic proportions in the race for Sheriff of LA County.  And Latino voters in California seemed to finally realize their full power in 2018.

Joining us for this special podcast is Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a senior fellow at USC’s Price School of Public Policy; and Rafe Sonenshein is executive director of the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs at Cal State LA.
