Popularity of Newsom's plans on redistrictng looks good.

He's got no choice. He has to do it. And it looks like he has the votes.

EXCLUSIVE: Gov. Gavin Newsom’s California redistricting proposal has a 22-point polling advantage, according to an internal memo from Newsom’s pollster obtained by Axios.

Newsom has been elected twice and beaten back a GOP led recall. He’s doing SOMETHING with the redistricting effort.

Avenatti was grifter who got sent to prison.

There’s no comparison to be made.

for opposition ads. They will spend whatever they think it takes to defeat this.

Oh, and ah-nuld "let Enron off the hook for ripping off CA" celebrity former governor is opposed. Oops, showing his true colors after he's worked so hard to come across as a reasonable puke.
