Transcript
00:00be available next week. Governor, I have a question. How can you guarantee to Californians
00:05to be a one-time exception with the independent redistricting commission? If you're in a gerrymandering
00:09arms race, what makes you confident this is the only time you'll ask them? Well, I'd say we want
00:13to do it for the 26, 28, 30 ballots just for congressional representatives alone. We want
00:19to provide that opportunity to the voters. They'll make that decision and they'll decide
00:24that direction. We want to maintain the framework of the independent redistricting commission.
00:30I've long supported. We believe, as Lofgren believes, as the author of the legislation
00:34that only Democrats signed. I'll repeat that because it needs to be repeated. The Democratic
00:40Party is on record supporting national independent redistricting. The Democratic Party is on record.
00:47The Republican Party is nowhere to be found on that. But we're not going to unilaterally
00:52disarm in the state of California. We tried to lead by example with the independent redistricting
00:56commission. And we are looking at temporary measures. And that is my intent. And that is
01:02the direction that ultimately will be made by the president.
