"Prop 50 is not about drawing lines on a map. It is about holding the line to what makes us who we are."
"When this opportunity occurred, Gavin had a plan. He's a man with a plan and that's what brings us here today."
"It means we have an opportunity to win five seats."

Governor Gavin Newsom campaigned for Proposition 50, framing the measure as preserving values rather than merely redrawing maps. Prominent Democrats, labor leaders and union activists rallied in support and urged high turnout. Nancy Pelosi praised Newsom's leadership and vision. Supporters expressed hope that the measure could yield up to five additional Democratic seats, while proponents cautioned that gains were not guaranteed. California Republicans warned that the proposal could undermine the independent Citizens Redistricting Commission and described it as an affront to the state constitution. Polling indicated widespread support for Prop 50 among Californians ahead of Election Day.
