I submitted my ballot today. Make sure to return your ballot early and vote yes on Prop 50!

Great to be a part of a No Kings rally in our 19th Congressional District. There was a lot of people, energy, and unity that is needed now more than ever to not just fight back, but also to fight forward.

Prop 50’s changes are designed as a one-time shift - the independent commission returns after 2030 to redraw districts using updated census data.

✅ Temporary maps.
✅ Independent redistricting commission.
✅ Protecting democracy from Trump’s power grab.

Vote Yes on Prop 50.

The President is doing everything he can to rig elections, keep the complacent and complicit Majority in Congress, and silence voices of the people. That’s why we must fight back by voting yes on Prop 50. Let’s show that Californians don’t sit back when democracy is on the line, we fight.

I was honored to stand alongside Speaker Robert Rivas, State Senators and Assemblymembers, community leaders, and, of course, my colleague Rep. Lofgren, at a press conference today in support of Yes on Prop 50. 🧵

Proposition 50 is California’s response to partisan gerrymandering in other states. It’s needed to counter unfair redistricting and protect democratic fairness through 2030.
