Lawmakers could pass a measure before the end of their annual session in mid-September, though the details remain unsettled.

The new, partisan maps come on the heels of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s launch of California’s redistricting campaign on Thursday, an effort he touted as meant to favor Democrats in California in the upcoming midterm elections as a counter to similar efforts in Republican-led states elsewhere in the country.

California Democrats unveiled a new congressional map that could give them five more seats, countering GOP redistricting in Texas and reshaping House control.

SACRAMENTO, California — California Democrats on Friday finalized their plan to snatch five GOP House seats next year by redrawing the state’s congressional lines, according to a copy of the new House map and other documents submitted to the Legislature on behalf of the DCCC.

California voters in 2010 gave the power to draw congressional maps to an independent commission, with the goal of making the process less partisan. The commission last redrew maps following the 2020 census, and the maps were in place for the 2022 and 2024 U.S. House elections.

California Democrats released proposed congressional redistricting maps as their fight with Trump and Texas escalates.

The new maps could also see more Democrats added into the Central Valley district of GOP Rep. David Valadao, who has already been able to defy gravity in a seat with a Democratic registration advantage.

The measure, which would appear on the ballot in the state this November if lawmakers approve it, comes in response to Texas Republicans' mid-decade redistricting push.
