Newsom to donors: Stop giving money for redistricting effort
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) urged donors Tuesday to stop giving money to the state’s redistricting measure on the ballot this election.
An email from Newsom to donors obtained by The Hill notes that the governor’s team has “hit our budget goals and raised what we need in order to pass Proposition 50.”
“You can stop donating,” the text reads in bold lettering.
After 1.2 million donations, with $38 million raised based on online small-donor fundraising, it’s now “about executing the plan,” the email also reads. “If we can do that, we’re going to win.”
It became clear that the donations could come to an end after news broke of a Friday Zoom meeting where the governor appeared, according to The New York Times. After two senior advisers proposed stopping the fundraising from small donors, Newsom reportedly said, “I love it.”
