SACRAMENTO —Today Assemblyman Jeff Gonzalez (R-Indio) issued the following statement after voting ‘No’ on the supermajority’s redistricting power grab:
“Today’s vote on the Assembly floor is nothing short of a disgrace. Instead of tackling affordability, homelessness, healthcare, or the housing crisis, Sacramento is going to waste over $200 million to undo what Californians already decided: that politicians should not be allowed to draw their own district lines.
Meanwhile, my constituents in Imperial, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties are struggling. And yet, this body is more interested in gerrymandering than solving real problems.
Californians in my district tell me every day they feel forgotten and they’re right. We should be investing in hospitals, food banks, wildfire protection and jobs, not playing partisan games.”
