California voters are in the final days of a special election that could help determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026. The ballot measure, known as Proposition 50, would allow state lawmakers to temporarily redraw California’s congressional map — a move Democrats say could help them pick up additional seats in Congress.
Jenny Holtermann, a fourth-generation farmer in California's Central Valley, said that under the proposed map, she would remain in a Republican district, but worries about the changes could affect her community.
"It really is, it’s sad that they are really carving out those Republican areas of the district and moving them to really make the areas more Democrat, and that’s not what the Central Valley is," Holtermann told Fox.
Beyond Central Valley farmers, the California Farm Bureau has also come out against Prop 50. Holtermann said she’s used to larger cities having more political influence in Sacramento but fears the measure would further silence rural voices.

If I have to be ambushed while watching TV (and out of reach of my remote )

If 50 passes is it appealable?

I’m sure there is a federal judge in the Central Valley that can stop it from becoming law just long enough to not affect the 2026 election. That roadmap was already written by leftist judges.

California Farmers...all three of them.
F^^K Newsom! We are out of this s^^thole state!
What, are you braindead or something? California farmers grow most of the produce consumed in this the US. Dumba$$.
In this day and age, it seems to me that House Seats Should be determined by taking total voting citizen population, which would determine the number of reps, and then dividing that State’s total land mass area by the number of reps, which would result in a number that would be the square miles of each district, and then have a computer randomly fit that number of districts into the State map. Once that is complete, each district can then elect that districts rep.
No I am saying since big ag has come in and consolidated farms, there are too few people actually doing farming to have a political impact, especially in a state with a strong voter fraud program like California.
Even if Prop 40 wins, someone is going to challenge it in fed court. as it will eliminate whole congress districts. Crazy Gavin thinks that 5 extra seats will win control of congress, but the other stats will not allow that to happen..
dont know much about the central valley do you
Actually I grew up on a farm near Merced. The fairy shrimp, water issues, and democrat rule have decimated the small farmers there.
I live in CA. 4 years ago I moved from the beach to Palm Desert I honestly felt like I had moved to a different state!! The coastal areas have become swill pits EXCEPT Huntington Beach the residents of Huntington Beach are bare knuckle fighters and it is a knock down drag out fight for them each and everyday!!!
