What is Redistricting?
What Would Prop 50 Do to California?

Did you vote yes to create an independent redistricting commission to eliminate partisan politics in drawing congressional maps? If so, your vote could be wiped out by Proposition 50.
At the end of this year’s session, Newsom whipped the Legislature into approving a Special Election (and funding it for almost $300M!) to put his “Election Rigging Response Act” before the voters on November 4th.
Tim Anaya, VP of Marketing and Communications with Pacific Research Institute, joins us to offer the history of redistricting, when it’s supposed to be use, why it’s used, and the impact it has on the political landscape.
Anaya has had a front row seat to California policymaking for more than 25 years. His thoughts on state politics and policy are regularly featured in media outlets in California and nationally.
He is the co-author of the PRI book, The California Left Coast Survivor’s Guide, which was an Amazon.com number one new release in two categories.
As you hear all the details on why Newsom insisted on this redistricting effort, keep in mind the Governor thinks he is the #1 candidate for President in 2028. Join us!
