Savage and Jacob Sutherland argue that California politics should be viewed through a local lens due to the unique nature of the principalagent relationship present in local governments around the state. Local governments make up the most common form of government in the United States and are responsible for a wide variety of public goods, services, and policies that affect their community members lives daily. This is especially true in California, which is home to 58 counties, 482 cities, 1,037 school districts, and nearly 2,000 independent special districts. However, many questions remain regarding California local politics, especially when it comes to the principalagent relationship between local representatives and community members.By leveraging a variety of recent case studies about the contestation of civil rights and public goods and utilizing several novel datasets, Savage and Sutherland present a comprehensive understanding of California local politics as it stands in the twenty-first century. Specifically, they provide one of the first studies dedicated to examining the opinions and perceptions held by special district representatives about the nature of their roles as community representatives, and they expand upon theories of participation at the local level pertaining to issue and office salience for different demographic and political groups.California Politics Is Local brings a fresh perspective to students and scholars of urban affairs, political institutions, civic engagement, and public policy in the Golden State. This book argues that California politics should be viewed through a local lens due to the principal-agent relationship present in local governments around the state and, through a variety of recent civil rights and public goods case studies, presents a comprehensive understanding of 21st century California local politics.
