Gov Newsom: We’ll Respond To TX With CA Redistricting

“We’ll be asking for the people on November 4th, a special election, coinciding with a lot of local municipal elections, to provide a temporary pathway for congressional maps. We will affirm our commitment to the state independent redistricting after the 2030 census. But we’re asking the voters for their consent to do midterm redistricting in 2026, 2028, and 2030, for the congressional maps, to respond to what’s happening in Texas, to respond what Trump is trying to excite. And we’ll do so in a way that also affirms our desire as a state to level the playing field all across the United States. We believe in a national independent redistricting framework. And we believe that’s the right goal and the right thing to pursue.”
