Overview

• The circulating proposal would boost California’s Democratic delegation from 43 to 48 of 52 congressional seats by reducing GOP-leaning districts
• It would reconfigure districts held by Reps. Ken Calvert, Darrell Issa, Kevin Kiley, David Valadao and Doug LaMalfa by shifting right-leaning voters out
• Democratic incumbents including Reps. Dave Min, Mike Levin and Derek Tran would see their electoral margins strengthened under the plan
• The draft map must clear the Democratic-controlled legislature and secure voter approval to override the independent redistricting commission
• Democratic members of California’s congressional delegation were briefed on the draft map Monday as leaders prepare a direct response to Texas’s GOP-led redistricting
