The California Conversation

We kick off our journey to understanding legislation in California by first diving into an overview of California’s legislative process. We answer questions like: Who makes up the legislature? How do bills become laws? And most importantly, where does your vote – and your voice – factor in? We end the show by looking at practical takeaways of how you can be engaged in this part of California politics.
