California Democrats have proposed a new congressional map potentially allowing their party to gain up to five seats in the U.S. House. This move is part of Gov. Gavin Newsom's redistricting strategy in response to Texas Republicans’ recent redistricting efforts. A special election set for Nov. 4 will let voters decide on the map, bypassing the state's independent redistricting commission. The proposal specifically targets five Republican incumbents, aiming to create bluer districts. Kiley, a Republican representative, condemned the plan as a circumvention of democratic processes involving redistricting.
Democrats in California's state legislature have released a proposal for a new congressional map that could give their party up to five new seats. This proposal is a significant step in Gov. Gavin Newsom's redistricting plans aimed at increasing Democratic representation in the upcoming midterm elections.
Newsom announced plans for a Nov. 4 special election to allow voters to decide on the new congressional districts, a move that would bypass the state's independent redistricting commission.
The Democrats' proposal targets five Republican representatives, making their districts more favorable to Democratic candidates. This reshuffling comes in response to redistricting efforts by Texas Republicans.
Kiley criticized Newsom's actions, emphasizing the importance of adhering to established redistricting processes and suggesting that mid-decade changes undermine the integrity of electoral boundaries.
