This November 4 in California, voters will decide on Proposition 50. If the proposition passes, it would allow California Democrats to redraw congressional lines in the state, potentially flipping five seats in the House of Representatives that are currently held by Republicans blue. California Democrats are doing this in direct response to mid-decade redistricting currently being undertaken in Texas, North Carolina, Missouri, and other Republican-held states to flip Democratic-held seats red.
This is an extremely important election, with big national implications about which party will control Congress after the 2026 elections.

I have also made this ActBlue page so that you can split a donation between Yes on Prop 50--known as Governor Newsom’s Ballot Measure Committee--and Bowers News Media PAC. While the default on the page is to split your donation, you can adjust the amounts so that you give less to Bowers News Media PAC, or even nothing at all. It is not required that you donate to Bowers News Media PAC on this page in order to support Yes on Prop 50.
Please split a donation between between Yes on Prop 50--known as Governor Newsom’s Ballot Measure Committee--and Bowers News Media PAC. Fight back against Republican gerrymandering and help take back the House of Representatives in 2026.
