Newsom Calls Special Nov. 4 Election to Eliminate GOP CA Congressional Seats
August 14, 2025
CALIRED NEWS–Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom announced today (at an Aug. 14 press conference in downtown Los Angeles) that he is calling a special election on Nov. 4th to tear up the state’s congressional map in favor of a gerrymandered map that eliminates Republican seats and will counter Texas efforts to remove five Democrat seats despite California voters having voted in a state constitutional amendment to create an “independent” redistricting commission that looks at congressional districts every 10 years.
