You all know Dante Atkins from his posts around here and probably from his work on DailyKos as well. We are excited to announce that Dante is now joining the Calitics Editorial Board. The Editorial Board works to provide quality content for the blog, occasionally moderates the blog, and votes on the “Calitics Editorial Committee” endorsements.

In addition to his voluminous blogging efforts, Dante has been involved in the California Democratic Party, serving on the platform committee, and helped to produce the Home Invasion ad during the closing days of the Prop 8 campaign.

We are working to ensure that the Editorial Board works for the site and the broader progressive movement.  We’ll keep you updated on future changes, and you can always find more information about the blog and Calitics on the “About Calitics” page.
