Get a Weekly Briefing On the Numbers Driving California Conversations
Every Tuesday, you’ll get 3 numbers that should matter to Californians
I’m John Nienstedt, and for more than 35 years, I’ve been diving deep into the world of public opinion research. Numbers are my jam; I’ve woven digits and data into the fabric of my daily life. Inspired to shed new light on California’s buzziest issues, I thought a “numbers first” approach would be a fun way to draw attention to them.
The whole thing started as a casual newsletter sent to a handful of friends and family during the Pandemic. Thanks to enthusiastic responses, it’s morphed into something bigger, what I call my “Top 3 Tuesday Numbers.” They blend humor with insight, and ensure a balanced perspective that resonates with Californians from every background.
Join me every Tuesday for a snapshot of what’s making waves across California — straight to your inbox. Whether it’s fodder for your next water cooler convo, food for dinner table discussions, or a spark for a campfire chat, the numbers are a good way to stay connected with fellow Californians.
