Jeff Mitchell

I am a California-based journalist who has focused much of my career on the coverage of local and state government, public policy and politics. In what has been a somewhat quirky, fun but admittedly itinerant career, I have worked for news organizations large and small across the state. Some of the stops along the way included The Los Angeles Times, Ventura County Edition, the Los Angeles Daily News, the Bay Area News Group (Oakland Tribune and Contra Costa Times) and PolitickerCA.com. I currently work as a senior writer and columnist for Gannett Newspapers, Inc. in Monterey County where I serve as a Health Reporting Fellow for The California Endowment.
