Proposition 50 would change the lines of the State Congress district to favor democrats. It is the government, Gavin Newsom's response to a similar effort in Texas designed to put more republicans in Congress. The new lines of the district would annul those created by the Redistribution Commission of Independent Non -Party Districts of the State.
Supporters include democratic politicians and organizations of work and labor unions. Newsom has said that this is a necessary step to counteract President Trump and protect the Californians. Republicans oppose the measure, arguing that partisan maps would lead to the State back.
General fund collection
The Times is tracking contributions to a committee that supports proposition 50 and two committees that oppose the measure. Many committees have contributed to these main committees.
How money has flumed over time
Since the proposal was announced in August, donations that support the measure have arrived.
The biggest followers
The Times is tracking the contributions to the main proposition 50 of the fund collection committee, which is controlled by Newsom. The majority of the PAC representatives, whose objective is to choose Democrats for the House of Representatives of the United States, is the main donor with almost $ 11 million. George Soros's fund for policy reform is the main donor with $ 10 million. The majority of the Casa PAC is the second largest donor. Labor unions are also the main supporters.
The measure has received the support of several donors from business executives and philanthropists, including Michael Moritz, Gwendolyn Santheim and Reed Hastings.
Almost 150,000 people gave $ 100 or more. More than $ 11 million, approximately 14% of the total raised, came from small collaborators, or those who gave less than $ 100.
Greater opposition
The Times is also tracking contributions to two main opposition committees. Most of the money for these groups comes from extremely large contributions from a handful of donors.
Charles Munger, Jr., son of former Berkshire Hathaway vice president, contributed more than $ 32 million to Hold PAC politicians.
The contributions of small dollars have reached $ 7,500 of the total raised.
The Congress Leadership Fund has granted $ 5 million to the Stop Sacramento Committee in the Power Grab committee.
