US EditionNewsom Calls Nov. 4 Special Election in California on Partisan Redistricting Plan to Counter Texas Move
Governor Newsom seeks voter approval for a midterm redistricting measure to counter Republican gains in Texas, potentially costing Fresno County up to $4 million, officials said.
- On Thursday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a Nov. 4 special election to approve a new congressional map aimed at helping Democrats win five more U.S. House seats.
- As announced by Newsom, California will hold a Nov. 4 special election to seek voter approval of a new congressional map, countering Texas efforts to redistrict.
- The special ballot will ask voters to create temporary congressional districts for the next two elections, with boundaries returning to an independent commission thereafter.
- Newsom’s plan signals a national standoff as California becomes the first state beyond Texas to wade into the mid-decade redistricting fight, potentially spreading to court battles.
- Looking toward 2026, the turf war involves California and Texas in a partisan effort that could influence House control, with Republicans holding a 219-212 majority and four vacancies.
