As Gov. Newsom said on Aug 14: Nov. 4 - USE IT!

We can stop MAGA's maps, but only if every registered Democrat votes in November’s special election.

Vote. Every election.
Protect democracy. Win the House in ’26.

I too am voting YES on 50, to try to counterbalance Trump's power grab. I'll talk with everyone in my family about it too. We need folks to TURN OUT with their YES ballots in California!!
