State Affairs offers high quality, subscription-based, investigative journalism that covers statehouse news. All politics is local, but local
journalism has atrophied to crisis levels across the country. While national news is saturated with coverage, the U.S. urgently needs deep
dives into local power centers that shape the laws that govern Americans’ lives. Our mission is to make statehouse politics and politicians
accountable by filling that void with daily commentary and investigative reporting. Officials in Washington, D.C., can’t be the only leaders whose actions, votes, spending, and ethics are subject to the civic disinfectant of rigorous journalistic oversight.
