Mayor Barbara Lee Statement on Passage of Prop. 50
Mayor's Office Contact:
Justin Phillips
"California voters sent a powerful message with Proposition 50 - we refuse to sit idle while this administration attempts to rig elections through partisan gerrymandering. This measure levels the playing field temporarily and reaffirms our commitment to independent redistricting after 2030. With democracy on the line, California drew its own line in the sand."
- Mayor Barbara Lee
