The Contra Costa Insider is produced by Pat Keeble & Friends, for the purpose of providing non-partisan political information to the residents and voters of Contra Costa County.

It is informational in nature and will not take stands on candidates or issues.

Pat was for many years political editor of the Lesher Newspapers, Inc., now the Contra Costa Newspapers, including the Contra Costa Times and its sister publications. After leaving the company, she and friends published a popular print edition of the Insider. Converting to an online edition will help us continue that tradition and provide information in a more timely manner.

We get our information largely from public sources. We will apply interpretation and knowledge to such information in hopes that voters and would-be voters will find it meaningful.

We welcome comments. However, there are only a few of us and we will not be able to answer most e-mails.

For now, at least, subscriptions to the Insider are free. Just click on the e-mail link below to be added to the subscription list. You will be notified and given a link whenever there are major changes to the site.

We hope you enjoy our efforts!
