Newsom’s Redistricting Power Grab? $250M for a Special Election?!

Gavin Newsom is pushing for a special election to redraw California's congressional districts—costing taxpayers up to $280 million. Is this really about fairness and democracy, or a political stunt to benefit Democrats and boost Newsom's 2028 ambitions?

We break down:

How this redistricting compares to Texas

The shady role of consultants and rushed maps

The power of Attorney General Rob Bonta in ballot wording

Why Arnold Schwarzenegger is fighting back

And why this could be Newsom’s taxpayer-funded campaign ad

Let us know what YOU think—smart reform or massive waste?
