Gov. Gavin Newsom will visit Los Angeles on Thursday to announce an effort to redraw the state’s congressional districts — countering a similar move in Texas.

Governor Gavin Newsom plans to propose a mid-decade redistricting plan to counter Texas. This would be the first time in the country's history that a state has ever done a redistricting plan where they let voters decide.

Prolonged litigation could block Newsom’s plan from taking effect in 2026 even if he gains voter approval this year. This game is just beginning.
