CADEM Endorses Prop 50, The Election Rigging Response Act

 


“California Democrats are proud to stand united behind Proposition 50,” said Rusty Hicks, Chair of the California Democratic Party. “The stakes for our democracy could not be higher. This campaign has the grassroots energy, the national leadership, and the overwhelming support of voters to ensure Prop 50 passes in November.”


Over the weekend, the California Democratic Party voted to endorse YES ON PROP 50, the Election Rigging Response Act, to respond to Donald Trump’s efforts to rig the 2026 elections.


Proposition 50, the Election Rigging Response Act, is the country’s best hope to counter Trump’s Texas power grab and ensure a fair 2026 national midterm election. By voting YES, California voters have a chance to block Donald Trump’s plan to steal 5 House seats and maintain his total control of the federal government. Prop 50 comes on the heels of Donald Trump and Republican officials attempting to manipulate congressional maps for their political advantage– including the recent extreme gerrymandering in Texas.


The proposed proposition includes several key provisions and will be placed on the ballot through a special election on November 4th:

  • Levels the Playing Field: Makes sure the 2026 mid-term elections are conducted on a level playing field without an unfair advantage for Republicans.

  • Commits to Fair Redistricting: Reaffirms California’s commitment to independent redistricting and calls on all states to commit to fair and impartial maps.

  • Gives Voters the Power: Puts the power in the hands of the People of California to approve emergency congressional district maps.

  • Is Temporary: These maps expire in 2030. The Election Rigging Response Act preserves California’s award-winning redistricting reforms and reaffirms the California Redistricting Commission’s authority to draw congressional districts after the next census.

The CADEM endorsement caps a landmark week of momentum for the Yes on 50 campaign:

  • President Barack Obama and U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Elizabeth Warren all endorsed Proposition 50 this week, underscoring the national significance of California’s fight to safeguard free and fair elections.

  • Polling released this week found that 57% of California voters backed the redistricting measure, while 35% opposed and 8% were undecided.


Voters will be voting on this measure on November 4th, 2025, in 10 weeks.


It is more important than ever that California Democrats turn out to vote in this Special Election. Our Democracy is at stake.
