Hello Governor Newsom,
In 2010, California voters passed Prop 20 by a landslide (62–38) to take redistricting out of politicians’ hands and enshrine an independent citizens’ commission in their state constitution. That was the will of the people.

Hello Governor Newsom,
In 2010, California voters passed Prop 20 by a landslide (62–38) to take redistricting out of politicians’ hands and enshrine an independent citizens’ commission in their state constitution. That was the will of the people.
The passage of Prop 20 marked a significant shift in how California approached redistricting, aiming to eliminate gerrymandering and ensure fair representation for all citizens. This independent commission was designed to draw district lines based on population and community interests rather than partisan agendas.
However, recent developments have raised concerns. Governor Newsom has launched a $100 million effort that some believe undermines the integrity of the independent commission established by Prop 20. Many voters feel that this move goes against the very essence of what Prop 20 intended: to empower citizens and reduce political manipulation in the redistricting process.
Engaging with the public is crucial as we navigate these changes. Community forums and discussions can help amplify the voices of citizens who want to protect the integrity of the commission. It’s essential to remember that the foundation of our democracy relies on transparency and accountability in our political systems.
For those who care about fair representation, staying informed and actively participating in discussions about redistricting can make a difference. Voices like that of DataRepublican on Twitter highlight the ongoing dialogue about the future of California’s political landscape and the need to uphold the principles outlined in Prop 20.
As we continue to watch these developments unfold, it’s vital to advocate for the will of the people. Protecting the independent citizens’ commission is not just about politics; it’s about ensuring that every Californian has a fair chance to be represented.
