I'm the vice chair of the elections committee.
When I had attorneys in front of me, I had the authors of these bills, I had assembly Democrat leadership, I had the chair, nobody could answer the fundamental question of who drew the maps.
And guess who was there testifying that this was a great idea?
It was labor unions.
It was the Teachers Association.
It was Planned Parenthood.
So don't tell me that special interests weren't involved in this as well.
Why is this?
Because the California Democrat super majority does not care about their voters.
They care about their political futures and ensuring that they're going to have a job and keeping their friends happy.
not the disenfranchised communities that they claim to care about, not the minority communities, not the underserved communities, because if they did, they would listen to me.
My district is 65% Hispanic and Latino.
The average income in my district is $31,000 a year.
I love that Gavin Newsom has been touting on his social media how we are number one for agriculture.
What he leaves out of that is that he deprives us of water.
He deprives us of resources.
He has allowed us to be regulated into the oblivion that the average cost of compliance for a farmer right now is $1,600 per acre.
So anybody who is listening, if you are not from California, this is your problem too.
Because Gavin Newsom has his eyes set on the White House, and we have to do everything we can to not only stop the disenfranchisement of California Republicans and independent voters for the record.
If you are an independent voter, this takes your voice completely away.
