Watch the California Priorities Summit — and share your #Advice4Gavin

At the California Priorities Summit, The Sacramento Bee and McClatchy brought together Californians committed to finding solutions to the critical policy issues facing our state. Friday’s summit included special guests, interviews and discussion of real solutions.

We started the conversation by asking “what the heck happened?” during the election, and then we dived into state priorities — from education to jobs to housing and more.

We want to hear from you. The main event may be over, but we still want to know: What’s your advice for Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom? Tweet it using the hashtag #Advice4Gavin:
