I oppose gerrymandering and support independent redistricting commissions--as members of both parties have proposed--but until the GOP-controlled government passes such a measure, not responding to them overtly gerrymandering to sway an election is just surrender. Yes on #Prop50.

Basically, Trump explicitly asked Texas to redraw their electoral maps to have more Republican seats in the 2026 election, and they did.

So California now has a special ballot measure to temporarily redistrict to offset it. You should vote yes.

Thank you for all you do!

And parents who are afraid to attend—bc they aren’t legal, or they are but have seen how this administration has deported people here legally for minor paperwork errors or entirely by accident—are staying home and watching over Zoom.

This isn't the America I know.

She's supporting other housing bills and given how she made misspoke several times during the speech I wonder if her decision was changed and rushed at the last minute.

I hope that she reconsiders her position and I can support her again.

It's also worth noting Menjivar ran as a public transit advocate who wanted to improve things for families on public transit, reduce air pollution from cars, and have an "all of the above" approach to addressing the housing crisis.

It's a really weird turn.

Then she claims the the transit isn't something "working class residents" use because they have to drive far away for work.

-Have you ever been on transit in LA? It is working class! There's data!

-There are lots of working class jobs in the valley!

-Building housing near transit creates more!

Then she says "we don't have the transit infrastructure yet, we shouldn't put the horse before the carriage [sic]"

-LA has the #1 light rail system in the US and #2 transit system, with 300m+ rides taken per year

-The horse in the analogy is the train! The bill legalizes *carts after horses*!

First she says a new light rail line across the Valley (her district!) goes from "nowhere to nowhere."

-The SFV has 1.8 million people. It'd be the nation's 5th largest city on its own!

-The train connects 3 major transit lines!

-The bill enables stops to grow into "somewhere"!
