Capitol Weekly was founded in 1988 by Kennedy Mandler, a former state government employee. The newspaper offered detailed listings of state government job openings. Mandler gradually expanded his listings, using California's Public Records Act to obtain data about state employment.
On July 1, 2005, Capitol Weekly was purchased by Arnold and Karen York of Malibu, who also published the weekly Malibu Times. Capitol Weekly was changed from a newspaper of job listings into a newspaper that included extensive coverage of the state Capitol's politics and governance, the lobbying community, campaign politics and the state bureaucracy.
The Yorks' son, Anthony York, was the first editor of Capitol Weekly from July 2005 to December 2010, when he moved to the Sacramento Bureau of the Los Angeles Times to cover the governor's office. Before joining Capitol Weekly, he served as a political writer for Salon and wrote for the California Journal. He also was the editor of Political Pulse, a newsletter covering the inner workings of the Capitol.
As of June 2017, the editor of Capitol Weekly was John Howard. Howard is a former news editor and political writer for The Associated Press in California, former Sacramento bureau chief of the Orange County Register, and former associate editor of the California Journal.
Capitol Weekly is published by Open California, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was formed in August 2012.
