PLACERVILLE, Calif. \u2014 Thirty California district attorneys, including El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson, have signed a joint letter urging voters to reject Proposition 50, arguing the measure would replace the voter-approved independent redistricting commission with a partisan, legislature-drawn map and undermine public trust in elections<\/p>\n

The DAs say Proposition 50 \u2014 placed on the Nov. 4, 2025, special election ballot by the Legislature and the governor \u2014 would put a new, legislatively drawn congressional map into effect for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections and return mapping authority to the citizens commission only after the 2030 census. Legislative Analyst’s Office<\/span>+1<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The prosecutors\u2019 letter calls the proposal \u201ca fight-fire-with-fire\u201d approach that would<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cdismantle the voter-approved California Citizens Redistricting Commission\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

and warns the change would let the Legislature redraw districts behind closed doors, potentially splitting communities and diluting local voices.<\/p>\n

For El Dorado County residents the debate is both abstract and practical: the DA who signed the letter, Vern Pierson, joined colleagues from rural and urban counties in warning that the change would erode voter confidence while supporters argue the map change is an urgent defensive move in a national power struggle over control of the U.S. House. The prosecutors\u2019 letter reads<\/p>\n

\u201cProposition 50 undermines democracy by prioritizing politicians\u2019 power instead of preserving voter-approved reforms that improve community representation,\u201d.<\/p>\n

“What\u2019s your prediction Vern?” – asks Nathan Foltz Bail Bonds<\/p>\n

“It all comes down to turnout” – responds Vern Pierson<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The letter posted by El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson<\/a>:<\/p>\n

30 California District Attorneys’ Opposition to Proposition 50<\/strong>
\nAs elected district attorneys, we are committed to upholding public trust through transparency, fairness, and the rule of law. We strongly oppose Proposition 50, which seeks to dismantle the voter-approved California Citizens Redistricting Commission and reinstate partisan gerrymandering\u2014a flawed process rejected by Californians through Proposition 11 (2008) and Proposition 20 (2010).<\/p>\n

Proposition 50 undermines democracy by prioritizing politicians’ power instead of preserving voter-approved reforms that improve community representation. The independent commission has fairly redrawn electoral districts after the last two censuses. However, Proposition 50 would allow the State Legislature to secretly craft new congressional maps before the next census\u2014dividing communities and silencing voters. This erodes trust in government and ignores the clear mandate for independent redistricting.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Proposition 50’s special election carries a staggering $300-million price tag\u2014funds that could support voter-approved Proposition 36’s drug treatment programs, which received nearly 70% support from Californians to address crime and addiction. While the Legislature claimed insufficient funds for these critical programs, it readily allocated millions for this unnecessary election, highlighting misplaced priorities.<\/p>\n

Partisan gerrymandering is fundamentally wrong, regardless of who perpetrates it or where it occurs. Two wrongs do not make a right. In Proposition 50, the Governor of California has proposed a “fight fire with fire” approach, dismantling a twice voter-approved bipartisan redistricting commission. In an era marked by eroding ethics and integrity\u2014where political assassination is excused and violent rhetoric against opponents and their families is dismissed as a mere “mistake”\u2014we must firmly say no. Such actions undermine democracy and fairness, and we must uphold principled redistricting processes that prioritize the will of the people over partisan gain.<\/p>\n

Proposition 50 threatens fair representation and wastes resources on an effort to undo voter-approved reforms and change California’s congressional delegation solely to benefit one political party rather than uphold the will of the people. As district attorneys dedicated to institutional integrity, we urge Californians to reject Proposition 50 and protect our democratic process.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n
