Where do Fresno leaders stand on Proposition 50, the Nov. 4 special election to change California’s congressional maps?
The issue is divided mostly along party lines.
Gov. Gavin Newsom is leading the effort to support Prop. 50, motivated by Texas — which at the suggestion of President Donald Trump — changed its election maps to possibly switch five Democratically-held seats to Republicans.
The difference: California voters long ago approved an independent nonpartisan commission to draw district lines for state and federal offices. Texas does not have that requirement.
