Wildcats at Work: Naomi Taxay (BSJ27) 📰

🏛️ Taxay spent her summer as a Capitol Bureau intern at The Sacramento Bee.

"I had the opportunity to cover politics at the local, state and national levels during an especially busy summer," she said. "From congressional races ahead of the midterms to the final weeks of the state legislative session, I got a firsthand look at the issues and decisions shaping California. I’m so grateful for the Capitol Bureau team’s mentorship and for the chance to grow as a journalist in my home state."
