On this week’s Fresnolandia podcast, Jordan and Danielle speak with Blake Zante, the executive director of the Maddy Institute at Fresno State, and Monse Sanchez, the regional field director for Communities for a New California, about what valley residents should expect if Gov. Gavin Newsom’s redistricting proposal, Proposition 50, is approved by voters this November.
They go into the history of gerrymandering, the emergence of California’s independent redistricting commission, how the proposed changes could affect Fresno-area congressional districts, and the local reaction to the proposal.
