The Democratic National Committee is entering the campaign for Proposition 50, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s effort to gerrymander the California congressional map to flip five Republican seats to Democrats.
Politico reported Thursday:
The Democratic National Committee is jumping into Gavin Newsom’s redistricting campaign in California for the first time with an initiative to target Latino voters, a crucial voting bloc that helped Republicans make significant gains in California and across the country last year.
The DNC on Thursday announced a bilingual organizing effort designed to push Latino voters to back Prop 50, the redistricting measure. The organizing team includes 41,000 volunteers to make calls, send texts and knock on doors in English and Spanish.
