Capitol Weekly is a nonpartisan news publication based in Sacramento that covers California politics, policy, and government, with a particular focus on the Capitol community and how decisions are made behind the scenes. Each year it publishes the Capitol Weekly Top 100, a widely read list that ranks the most influential, unelected figures in California politics. The list highlights political consultants, lobbyists, staffers, advocates, and other power brokers who play key roles in shaping policy and political outcomes, even if they aren’t public officeholders. It’s considered both a snapshot of the state’s political power structure and a guide to the people driving California’s policy agenda outside the spotlight. Read more about Stephanie here:
