According to Campus Reform, “The California Teachers Association (CTA) has given $3 million to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s campaign for Proposition 50, a redistricting measure that will appear on the state’s Nov. 4, ballot, according to state campaign finance filings.”
The CTA or California Teachers Association’s contribution went directly to Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 50.
The radical vengeful measure originated from a three bill package in July where the Dems used a ‘gut and amend’ tactic on A.B. 604, S.B. 260 and A.C.A. 8 in order to help give the legislature control of redistricting for 2026, 2028, 2030 election cycles.
The state’s independent Group would eventually assume control, finally in the year 2031.
According to Assemblyman Carl DeMaio “If this redistricting scheme goes through, voters will have no reason to trust politicians.”
DeMaio told Campus Reform. “Politicians will choose their voters; voters will not choose their politicians.”
Sonja Shaw, who’s running for Superintendent of Education in California, condemned the Union’s support for this proposition.
Shaw wrote on X “The California Teachers Association is behind every attack on our kids, pushing confusion in classrooms, protecting only those who fit their narrative, and selling out teachers to back Newsom’s gerrymander,”
DISGUSTING

The teachers’ union has not yet issued an official statement on its contribution.
The CTA’s pack is apparently one of the state’s largest political spenders, according to Campus Reform.
Leftist groups such as Planned Parenthood of California have vowed to support this measure as well.
“You take away our freedoms, we’ll take away your seats,” President and CEO Jodi Hicks said at a rally, promising her group would “go all in.”
These measures are not being left unchallenged however with Republican lawmakers challenging this law in court. However The California Supreme Court rejected the emergency petition on August 21st.
Gavin Newsom as well as CTA have declined to comment on this matter.
