Powerful labor coalition backs redrawing California's congressional map in fight with Texas and Trump
"President Trump has said that Republicans are 'entitled' to five more congressional votes in Texas. Well, they aren't entitled to steal the 2026 election. California's unions refuse to stand by as democracy is tested."
"The California Federation of Labor Unions voted unanimously Tuesday to support putting a measure on the ballot in November, aimed at temporarily changing congressional district boundaries."
The California Federation of Labor Unions endorsed a special election to redraw the state's congressional districts in November. This initiative aims to counter President Trump's influence in redistricting, particularly in states like Texas. The labor group is prepared to invest several million dollars to support the proposal, which has been backed by Governor Gavin Newsom. If successful, redistricting could potentially lead to Republicans losing several congressional seats from California's delegation. The California Legislature is expected to vote on this proposal following its summer recess.
