| 10/23/26 |  This Year’s Powerful El Niño May Preview California’s Climate Future | Flooded highways. Inundated airport runways. Water-filled neighborhoods. Beaches washed away. All of these impacts, and more, could take place this winter as El Niño continues to unfold. Several new reports this week suggest that El Niño’s effects this winter — flooding from temporarily high seas and potential storms — foreshadow a future shaped by human-caused climate change. Reporter: Ezra David Romero, KQED News Proposition 5 Would Revise Rules on Recall Elections Right now, voters are asked two things when there’s a statewide recall: Whether an official should be removed from office, and who should replace them. If Prop. 5 passes, voters would only decide whether or not to remove the official. The vacancy would be filled later through a special election or an appointment. Reporter: Melody Yan, KALW How to "Vote Naked" in California With voting for the Nov. 3 election underway, a Santa Cruz elections official is highlighting her term for a safe, secure way to return your ballot that might make you blush. At an elections event in Santa Cruz, county Clerk Tricia Webber ran through some ballot return options before blurting out a personal favorite: “Or, they can vote naked."

| 10/22/26 |  Progressive Candidate Challenge Fontana's Longtime Mayor | The election is less than two weeks away. And Senator Bernie Sanders has been endorsing progressive candidates in races big and small across the country. In California’s Inland Empire, he endorsed Joz Sida, who’s running for the mayor of Fontana. But the endorsement hasn't given Sida much traction. Reporter: Anthony Victoria, KVCR California is asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit from the Trump administration, that seeks to set aside 20,000 mail-in ballots.

| 10/21/26 |  California State Workers Ready For a One-day Strike | Tens of thousands of state government workers are expected to walk off the job Wednesday for a one-day strike. The issues: wages and benefits. Union-represented employees at libraries, hospitals and agencies such as Caltrans, CalFire and the Department of Motor Vehicles have never walked out of their jobs before, but leaders with the SEIU Local 1000 say they're fighting bad-faith bargaining practices from the Newsom administration. Reporter: Lynn La, Calmatters Californians will vote on Proposition 45 in November. That measure would make significant changes to the state’s landmark environmental review process. Reporter: Jake Gotta, KPBS Bakersfield is not usually a destination for big political names – except when former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was still in Congress. But this year’s midterm election has changed that. California's 22nd congressional district, which covers parts of five San Joaquin Valley counties, has become one of the most hotly contested congressional seats in the country.

| 10/20/26 |  As Costs Rise, Voters in 3 Bay Area Cities Could Cap One of Them: Rent | For many Californians, a mobile home is the only home they can afford. But owning comes with a catch: They still rent the land underneath and the state’s rent cap doesn’t cover them. That leaves mobile homeowners vulnerable to big rent spikes. Cities and counties can set their own limits. But across the state, only about 1 in 5 do. In the East Bay city of San Pablo, Linda Jackson is hoping her neighbors will come out to support a measure her city has on the ballot. Reporter: Madi Bolanos, The California Report California leaders are pushing back against the Trump administration’s actions. The Trump administration is ramping up its fight against California elections. The U.S. Department of Justice alleges that 28 state residents, who it says are green-card holders not citizens, illegally registered to vote in U.S. elections. The charges are part of an escalating campaign to highlight illegal voting by immigrants, which the president says is "rampant." Attorney General Rob Bonta says true voter fraud should be punished, but as these arrests show that it’s exceedingly rare. Reporter: Tyche Hendricks, KQED In Northern California, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were spotted outside of a polling center in Yuba City on Monday morning , according to the immigrant rights group NorCal Resist.

| 10/19/26 |  CA Democrats Look to Flip the Script on Gas Prices | Gas prices in California continue to be the highest in the nation.

But the war in Iran has given California Democrats a rare opportunity to turn the tables on the issue. Reporter: Guy Marzorati, KQED A surge in immigration arrests is underway in the Central Valley. Advocates say detained immigrants are being denied access to legal counsel, and dozens are disappearing into the detention system. Reporter: Tyche Hendricks, KQED Learn more about your ad choices.

| 10/16/26 |  Silicon Valley Spends Millions on North Bay Assembly Race | This year, Silicon Valley has poured money into California’s legislative races at levels far above past elections.

Reporter: Izzy Bloom, KQED The Trump administration filed a lawsuit against California on Thursday, aiming to block the state from counting the ballots of around 20, 000 voters. Reporter: Laura Fitzgerald, KQED California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed his 100th lawsuit against the Trump administration.

| 10/15/26 |  What This Winter's "Super El Niño" Could Mean for California's Ski Season | The Trump administration this week is threatening to take legal action against California unless election officials verify the citizenship of some people on the state’s voter rolls.

| 10/13/26 |  Proposed New North Bay Neighborhood Brings Environmental Concerns | In a small town on the fringes of the Bay Area, a former software engineer wants to create a new kind of neighborhood — one that’s built around an event center where Silicon Valley thinkers could gather and share ideas. There’d be a hotel and an amphitheater and maybe even a K-6 school. But as the project nears final approval, it’s facing a new wave of backlash from some residents who have concerns about its impact on the environment. Reporter: Adhiti Bandlamudi A state lawmaker is calling for oversight hearings into lockdowns that were imposed at a San Diego County correctional facility during last month's intense heat wave.
