Proposal 50 would move the lines of the State Congress District to promote Democrats. It’s Gov, Gavin Newsom’s response to an effort similar to Texas designed to put more Republicans at the Congress. The new district lines would have those created by the State who is not a partisan independent redistribution of the State.
Supporters include democratic politicians and parties and unions. Newsom said it was a necessary step to counter President Trump and to protect the Californians. The Republicans oppose the measurement, arguing that the partisan cards would bring the state back.
Global fundraising

The greatest supporters

The majority of the PAC chamber, which aims to elect Democrats to the House of Representatives of the United States, is the best donor with nearly $ 11 million. The George Soros fund for policies reform is the main donor with $ 10 million. The majority of the PAC house is the second largest donor. Unions are also major supporters.
The measure has received the support of several executive donors and commercial philanthropes, including Michael Moritz, Gwendolyn Sonteheim and Reed Hastings.
