DCCC Statement on Supreme Court’s Ruling That the Will of California Voters for Fair Maps Be Honored

Today, DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled that the state’s voter-approved congressional map can be used for 2026:

“Today’s decision is a victory for the people of California, and those who believe in fair representation in Congress. By ensuring the voter-approved map will be used in 2026, the Court today acknowledged that in our democracy, power belongs to the people, not Donald Trump and Republican party bosses.

“I commend California’s leaders for their decisive work to give the voters of California the opportunity to level the playing field and to fight back against Republican attempts to rig the midterms. And credit to the voters of California in making their voices decisively heard — the House Majority will, and should, ultimately be decided by the voters.

“With today’s decision, the strong class of candidates running, momentum and public sentiment on our side, it’s clear Democrats are poised to re-take the House Majority this fall, and California will be key.”
