Assembly Constitutional Amendment 8 (Rivas, McGuire): allows Californians the ability to adopt a new, temporary Congressional map, in response to the congressional redistricting in Texas, that neutralizes Trump’s power grab.

Senate Bill 280 (Cervantes, Pellerin): establishes timelines and procedures to conduct a statewide special election for Proposition 50, and provides the funding for the special election, set to take place on November 4, 2025.

Assembly Bill 604 (Aguiar-Curry, Gonzalez): establishes the temporary Congressional District Maps that would take effect if the people vote to pass ACA 8 on November 4.

What are y’all gonna vote? I guess I’m leaning yes but idk it kinda sucks either way.

Look at it this way: at least Newsom is giving voters a choice. In Texas, Trump just told the governor to find him five more Republican seats and the governor said "sure, how's this look" and bang, redistricting happened.

I'm not thrilled with this, but it's a fighting fire with fire situation. I'm voting for it.
