California Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye will lead the Public Policy Institute of California, the nonprofit research entity said Wednesday.
Cantil-Sakauye decided in July not to run for a second 12-year term at the state high court. Gov. Gavin Newsom nominated Associate Justice Patricia Guerrero to become chief justice. Guerrero was confirmed last month and will stand in a pro forma election in November.
“I am fully committed to PPIC’s nonpartisan mission and efforts to improve public policy in California through independent research – without a thumb on the scale. After all, who can say ‘no’ to facts?” Cantil-Sakayue said in a statement.
She starts the new job Jan. 1. Cantil-Sakauye succeeds PPIC’s current president and CEO, Mark Baldassare, who announced in March he was retiring.
