About Local Hero
Andra Belknap uses her diverse professional expertise — from reporting for the Ojai Valley News to serving as a national political spokeswoman — to dive deep into local political debates. Readers will get to know local decision-makers, learn about the mechanics of government, and explore regional and trends at play in the Ojai Valley and beyond.
Paid subscribers will receive entertaining and informative long-form stories on timely local issues once per month, as well as regular news updates. Free subscribers will receive occasional public posts. Free trial subscriptions are available to those interested as are discounted rates for lower income readers (contact andra.belknap@gmail.com).
This space is named in honor of the now-closed downtown Ojai bookstore, Local Hero, as well as the countless local heroes who do the work of community.
