US EditionNewsom to Donors: Stop Giving Money for Redistricting Effort
Gov. Newsom announced the campaign for Proposition 50 has raised over $114 million and urged supporters to prioritize voter turnout over further donations.

- Because the campaign met its targets, Newsom said the Yes on 50 campaign raised $38 million from 1.2 million contributions and urged focus on registered California voters turnout.

- Campaign officials emphasized continued field work and voter outreach even after the fundraising halt, with Gavin Newsom warning `doesn't mean we've won` and Sean Clegg calling the move `It's a little bit of man bites dog`.
- If approved, Proposition 50 would redraw maps for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections, polls show it on track to pass with 57% Emerson College and 62% CBS News/YouGov support, and backers aim to flip five Republican seats.
