| DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene released the following statement after California voters passed Proposition 50, affirming a new congressional map:
“Today, California voters have sent a strong and clear message that they will not stand by while Republicans try to rig the 2026 election. By overwhelmingly voting to pass Proposition 50, Californians are fighting back against the GOP’s disastrous record of raising costs and ripping away health care from millions, all to give tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy.
“We applaud California’s leaders for giving voters the opportunity to elect a Congress next year that will work for the people, not the wealthiest few, and level the playing field in the face of corrupt Republican gerrymandering efforts across the country. The path to the Democratic majority includes flipping critical seats throughout California, and Democrats are on offense to hold newly vulnerable Republicans accountable.
“Republicans know they can’t win on the issues. After tonight, it’s clear voters won’t let them cheat their way to a win either. Proposition 50 is a victory for free and fair elections and every Californian who believes their voice should be heard and their vote should count.” |
