Stephen Witt is the founder, publisher, and editor-in-chief of Los Angeles County Politics, which he launched in April 2025. He has more than 30 years of journalism experience, including extensive work for The New York Post/News Corp and as founder of KingsCountyPolitics.com in Brooklyn, which he later sold. He relocated from New York City to Los Angeles to build LACP, bringing a tabloid-trained instinct for news judgment and a governance-focused analytical approach to one of America’s most complex political landscapes. Journalists he has mentored have gone on to hold positions at major outlets, including the Washington Post and CNN.
LACP has grown to more than 30,000 monthly readers and 6,500 newsletter subscribers since its launch.
