Arnold Schwarzenegger Urges Californians to Oppose Democratic Redistricting Ballot Measure

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has thrown his weight behind the opposition to Proposition 50—the Democratic-backed initiative that would temporarily replace the state’s independent redistricting commission with legislature-drawn congressional maps. He called the measure “insane” and warned it would undermine democratic principles by letting politicians “take the power away from the people.” Schwarzenegger, who championed the current independent commission system during his time as governor, said that just because redistricting battles are playing out nationwide doesn’t justify California doing the same kind of partisan map drawing. With Republicans in other states pushing to redraw maps to gain House seats, Schwarzenegger’s stance underscores how redistricting has become a major part of the national battle for control of Congress. #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #PatrickSchwarzenegger #BradArnold #CaliforniaNews #CaliforniaDemocracyInAction #NewYorkNews #BreakingPolitics #CostOfLivingCrisis
