Democrats on Friday released a proposed new California congressional map as they aim to counter Republican-led redistricting efforts in Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposal was submitted to the state legislature by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and comes as the latest development in an intensifying redistricting fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEarlier today, the DCCC submitted a proposed congressional map to the legislative public portal with collaborative input from stakeholders and legislators. We anticipate this proposal will have widespread support both among California office holders and various stakeholders across the state,\u201d executive director Julie Merz said in a release. \u201cWe will not stand by as Republicans attempt to rig the election in their favor and choose their voters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is vying to hold a special election this fall on a ballot measure that would suspend the state\u2019s independent redistricting commission until the end of the decade in an effort to keep up with Republican gerrymandering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsom has stressed that bypassing the commission, which Californians approved back in 2008 and 2010, would be temporary, and that redrawing the lines would only be triggered by redistricting in red states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democrats in the California legislature are expected to move the measure forward when they reconvene next week, teeing up a November special election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed maps are expected to effectively neutralize the would-be gains in Texas, where a plan backed by President Trump could net five GOP House seats, by creating five blue districts in California. The Republican incumbents effected by the new map are Reps. Kevin Kiley (R), Doug LaMalfa (R), Darrell Issa (R), Ken Calvert (R) and David Valadao (R).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey do five seats, we do five seats,\u201d Newsom has said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democrats in the Texas state legislature fled earlier this month in a desperate bid to stall the GOP plan from moving forward, but they\u2019ve signaled they could return if, among other conditions, California introduced its maps to counter the Lone Star State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love my current congressional district, but I understand the stakes. Democracy is on the line,\u201d Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) said on X as news of the map broke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen this new map is approved by voters, I look forward to running in the new 42nd district, made up of my hometown of Long Beach, coastal OC, Costa Mesa & South Santa Ana. Let\u2019s go!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) backed the maps, calling California\u2019s plan a \u201cmeasured response\u201d to counteract Trump\u2019s \u201cblatant power grab in Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Republicans\u2019 congressional campaign arm blasted the redistricting moves on Friday, arguing Newsom \u201cis shredding California\u2019s Constitution and disenfranchising voters to prop up his Presidential ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe NRCC is prepared to fight this illegal power grab in the courts and at the ballot box to stop Newsom in his tracks,\u201d said chairman Richard Hudson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
