"Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has taken the lead on stumping for the proposition, took the unusual step on Monday of telling his supporters to close their wallets. "We have hit our budget goals and raised what we need in order to pass Proposition 50," reads the email sent to supporters. "You can stop donating." Amy Thoma Tan, a spokesperson for the "No on Prop. 50" campaign funded by megadonor Charles Munger Jr., said the policy institute is a "legit" polling outfit."
A new poll shows majority support for Proposition 50 and aligns with other recent surveys favoring the measure. Supporters have significantly outspent opponents and lead in fundraising and spending ahead of the Nov. 4 special election. Governor Gavin Newsom publicly urged supporters to stop donating after campaign organizers said budget goals were met. Opponents funded by Charles Munger Jr. continue efforts to persuade unreturned voters and call some polling credible. Munger's ads warn that Proposition 50 would dismantle the Independent Redistricting Commission and replace independently drawn boundaries. The measure registered high importance among likely voters.
