REP LIEU APPLAUDS PASSAGE OF CALIFORNIA’S TEMPORARY REDISTRICTING MEASURE

LOS ANGELES – Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) issued the following statement after California voters passed Proposition 50, which requires temporary use of new congressional district maps through 2030.  The passage means California will use new, legislatively drawn congressional district maps starting in 2026. 

“Trump and his Republican acolytes have made it their mission to attack hardworking Californians and our Democratic principles. Last night, Californians told Trump that we will not yield. The resounding support for Prop 50 shows that there are political consequences to politicizing fire aid, sending troops to our neighborhoods, and terrorizing immigrant communities. California is the fifth-largest economy in the world and makes our country great. People here and across the country are sick of inflation and they’re sick of the Republican cruelty. Californians joined the chorus of Americans who made their voices heard yesterday to simply say: Republicans, stop attacking our communities and driving up the cost of everything.
