Governing

Governing is a digital publication owned by e.Republic, a media and research company focused exclusively on U.S. state and local government, which is in turn backed by the private equity firm Leeds Equity Partners. It covers policy, public management, finance, and technology issues affecting state and local governments, with a professional trade-press tone rather than an overtly partisan one. Its coverage of the Trump second term treats federal actions primarily through the lens of their impact on states and localities, with analytical rather than advocacy-driven framing.
