In this episode of Downballot Download, we sit down with California Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris to talk about what it’s like governing in a moment where everything feels connected—from the cost of living to housing supply, climate-driven disasters, and rising insurance and utility costs.

Assemblywoman Petrie-Norris reflects on why she first ran for office, the changing political landscape in Orange County, and what it’s meant to serve during a historic rise in women’s representation in California’s Legislature. The conversation also digs into the challenge of communicating complicated policy in a world of misinformation, what voters are feeling heading toward the 2026 midterms, and her work around public safety and accountability in state programs.
