Supporters of redrawing California’s congressional districts raise tens of millions more than opponents
In November, the ballot, California’s congress regions to restructure-gos. Gavin Newsom’s effort to ensure the control of the US House of Representatives next year-donating to the state, according to the explanations of the opposition campaigns have increased a lot.
According to a campaign financial report on Thursday, the Primary Group Support proposal spent $ 77.5 million and spent $ 28.1 million until September 20.
The committee has $ 54.4 million in the bank for the last weeks of the campaign, so California should wait for a television ads, mails, phone calls and other efforts to shake voters before the November 4 special elections.
According to the campaign finance reports, two main groups opposing the ballot collected $ 35.3 million, spent 27.4 million dollars and spent about $ 8.8 million in the bank.
Although it has an overwhelming financial advantage, the campaign supporting the offer 50 tried to describe itself as Underdog in the struggle to collect money against opposition campaigns with its ties with President Trump and its supporters.
“Maga donors continue to pour millions of money to stop the proponus, hoping to please the ‘beloved leaders’,” he said. “We will not remove our feet from the gas – Prop 50, America’s best chance to stop this reckless and dangerous president and every California’s risks and on November 4, we will continue to do our best to ensure that it is ready to vote yes.”
A spokesman for the 50 campaigns that sent posters to voters even before the voters in November of the Californian legislature, led by democratic, said that his priority is to help the Californials to understand the inappropriateness of the re -scratching of the congress boundaries created by a voter -approved, state independent commission.
Amy Thoma, a coalition spokesman who opposes the ballot measure, said, ik We started to communicate early about the results of voters and politicians’ drawing their own lines, ”he said. “We are sure that we will have the necessary resources to continue during the election day.”
Other Anti-Proposition 50 group spokespersons.
Ellie Hockenbury, who stopped Sacramento’s power grabbing campaign, said, “When you sell lemon, it cannot change the taste. No cash can change the taste. ”Newsom said,“ Prop. 50 can not change the fact that politicians have nothing but a job for politicians to renovate the power from voters and get the taxpayers to pay for a privilege at a great cost. ”
According to the Foreign Minister and the State Ministry of Finance, the private election is expected to cost the state and districts for $ 282 million.
If approved, the bid 50 will have a major impact on California’s 2026 congress elections, which will play an important role in determining whether Trump will enforce the agenda in the last two years of his term of office. The party, which won the White House, often loses the congress seats after two years, and the Republicans have a razor-razor at home.
After Trump called on the GOP -led states, especially Texas to direct the number of republicans elected to the Congress in the next year’s interim elections, Newsom and other California Democrats responded by proposing an effort to increase their ranks in their parties’ laws.
Congress regions of California are drawn by the voter -approved independent redistment commission every ten years after the US census. Therefore, the proposal of changing the districts of the Democrats with new boundaries proposed by state deputies should be approved by the voters. On November 4, the State Legislative Assembly voted in August to give voters voters.
The poll with the proposal is not certain. This year is an out -of -choice, ie low participation and voters are unpredictable. And a relatively few California pay attention to the recollection of the esoteric process of re -scratching congress regions.
There are more than 50 campaign committees registered to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but only three have collected large amounts of money.
The Newsom Pro-Sposition 50 effort has received a few great donations from the billionaire financier George Soros since its launch, 7.6 million dollars from the House Majory PAC (Democrats’ Congress Political Branch), and various service employees, including $ 4.5 million from international union groups. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and his wife contributed $ 1 million to a separate committee supporting the proposal.
The opposition groups had a small number of small dollar donors, and Charles Munger Jr., a great republican donor in California for years, has been financed by two sources. And the donation of $ 5 million from the Congress Leadership Fund, the political branch of the Republicans.
