Seema Mehta’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

Seema Mehta is a political writer for the Los Angeles Times. She covered the 2012 and 2008 presidential campaigns, as well as gubernatorial, Senate and mayoral races. A graduate of Syracuse University, the East Coast native swore when she joined The Times in 1998 that she would only spend a few years on the Left Coast. Many years, a husband, a house and a few cats later, Seema can’t imagine living somewhere she couldn’t golf year-round.

Gavin Newsom.
