For some reason all I am seeing is 2 more liberal senators.
Not from Jefferson. No way, no how.

Well, as you Texans would say: “Now bless his little heart, he don’t know from where he’s speakin!” California (actually not unllike Texas as it turns out) area-wise is mostly conservative. Before the SCOTUS rulled on “one man, one vote” and we had a true bicameral legislature where the CA Senate, was not based on population, we had a reasonable check and balance and the rural counties didn’t get steamrollered by LA and SF. But since that “determination,” LA and SF have basically had their way with the state (Like you will soon with Houston, DFW and San Antonio). The new state of Jefferson would definitely be Conservative, so we would have two more Conservative Senators and the CA House delegation would be reduced in its number and the new members from Jefferson would also be Conservative. BTW you can also get a CCW permit for the asking if you live in more than half of California’s counties.
There are only two areas that are liberal.
SF Sacramento coridior and the city of LA, redistricting has caused a shift stacking with Libs.
Just take those outa the state, all would be good.
Take out the Bay Area and LA and you have a pretty conservative state.
