"California voters have been asked whether to implement new, partisan congressional maps for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections. That would mean forgoing the current maps drawn by a 14-member group comprising five Republicans, five Democrats and four commissioners not affiliated with the two major parties. The idea is a partisan one, an effort to favor Democrats in California's congressional elections as a way to counter similar, Republican-led plans elsewhere in the country to boost the GOP at the behest of President Donald Trump."
""We've raised enough money to win this campaign," Newsom said in a video posted on social media on Oct. 28. "That doesn't mean we've won the campaign, quite the contrary, but we reached our goals, we've reached our budget," Newsom said. "So please, don't send any more money to the Yes on 50 campaign," he said, encouraging supporters to instead focus on getting people to vote who have not yet cast their ballot."
Campaign-season solicitations inundate voters with requests for money and attention. The Yes on 50 campaign has reached its fundraising goals and is asking supporters to halt additional donations and prioritize voter turnout. Proposition 50 would replace current congressional maps with new partisan maps for 2026, 2028 and 2030, foregoing maps drawn by a 14-member commission of Republicans, Democrats and independents. The measure aims to favor Democrats in California to counter Republican redistricting efforts elsewhere. Recent polling, including an Emerson College survey, showed a majority of likely voters supporting Proposition 50, with growing support among previously hesitant groups.
