Voter Recommendation & Resources for the Tuesday, November 4, 2025, STATEWIDE Special Election (covers Prop 50)
Please VOTE "NO" on Proposition 50!
RESOURCES on WHY we urge you to Oppose Proposition 50:
Resource #1: Congressman KEVIN KILEY strongly recommends a "NO" vote on Proposition 50 and says:
"The official ballot summary for Proposition 50 contains a number of inaccuracies. I have produced an accurate summary below. Please share widely to assure voters are properly informed." Here is Kiley's summary:
"Proposition 50: Replaces map drawn by voter-approved Independent Citizens Commission with map drawn by Sacramento politicians. Overturns constitutional ban on gerrymandering and adopts most gerrymandered congressional map in modern U.S. history."
Resource #2: - Top 5 Reasons to Vote NO on Prop 50:
Excerpts from REFORM CALIFORNIA's (Assemblyman Carl DeMaio) statement Opposing Proposition 50:
1. "Allows Politicians to Seize Power from Citizens
Hands the power back to politicians to rig the system by drawing districts safe for their cronies and guaranteeing their reelection. That's not democracy — that's entrenchment."
2. "Permits Corrupt Backroom Deals
Instead of a bipartisan group of citizens drawn from everyday Californians drawing the district lines over a year with public hearings and input, Sacramento politicians rushed Prop 50's maps through the State Legislature in just one week, with new districts that only benefit their own careers."
3. "Wastes $200 Million on a Costly Special Election
Spends $200 million on a costly special election while California is facing a $20 billion budget deficit that cuts priorities like public safety and emergency services."
4. "Eliminates Fair and Competitive Districts
Allows gerrymandering, which disproportionately harms communities of color, reduces competitive elections, and erodes accountability. Strips constitutional protections that currently ensure communities are kept whole and that maps are not drawn to favor political parties or incumbents."
5. "Not Temporary — it Will Be Permanent
Just like "temporary" taxes, fees and regulations, once politicians have power, they never give it back to the people. Letting Sacramento politicians "temporarily" kill off a piece of democracy sets a dangerous precedent that could be used by future politicians to undermine constitutional safeguards."
Excerpts: "Proposition 50 is Gavin Newsom's destructive power grab. In this special election we urge you to VOTE NO. Here are four things you should know."
"Proposition 50 is a dangerous fraud.
1. It cements one-party rule.
Republicans win 37% of the vote in California, yet hold only 17% of congressional seats. Under Prop 50, that would collapse to just 5% or less. It's a power grab designed to erase opposition.
2. It shreds voter fairness.
California's independent Citizens Redistricting Commission — created to stop gerrymandering — is tossed aside. Politicians will now draw their own districts to lock in permanent control.
3. It's bought and paid for.
Billionaire George Soros alone has pumped in $10 million. Newsom and wealthy Democrat donors have funneled over $77 million into this campaign — one of the most expensive in California history. Meanwhile, our NO side has raised only a fraction.
4. It weaponizes misinformation.
Gov. Newsom is flooding the airwaves with half-truths, even hiding the scale of his donor money. He knows if the public learns the truth, Prop 50 collapses."
"In this explosive bonus episode of State of Gold, we break down Prop 50 — the controversial redistricting ballot measure that's sending shockwaves through California. With exclusive interviews and testimony, The Big Rig exposes how Prop 50 dismantles California's independent redistricting commission and gives politicians unchecked power to draw their own districts.
With historical context and current commentary, this episode explains how a gerrymandered California could rig elections, suppress voices, and set a dangerous national precedent. This isn't about party lines — it's about drawing the line on corruption.
Whether you're hearing about Prop 50 for the first time or have been following the controversy – this is the episode you need to understand what's really at stake. PROP 50 EXPOSED: The Redistricting Power Grab That Could Silence Millions"
