Following Governor Newsom’s staged announcement of his redistricting scheme, Vice Chair of the Assembly Committee on Elections Assemblywoman Alexandra Macedo (R-Tulare) issued the following statement:
“Californians demand and deserve transparency from their government. Governor Newsom’s sinister redistricting scheme is the opposite. There is no public input.
“In his quest to grab national headlines, the Governor is proposing to dismiss the will of the voters. Governor Newsom is on a mission to take power away from the California Citizens Redistricting Commission.
“Governor Newsom’s power-grab erodes public trust in our government. Undermining the Commission’s hard work – to grab national headlines – is shortsighted and insulting to voters.”
