She has been an influential political blogger since 2004 and currently blogs at Townhall.com and the Sacramento Citizen.
Grimes considers working with Pacific Research Institute's (PRI) new CalWatchdog project a great opportunity to be a pioneer in the new web-based nonprofit model of journalism. Her focus is on reporting and writing about Sacramento and other state political news that is routinely overlooked.
