Letter to CA Citizens Redistricting Commission Regarding Selection of Remaining Commissioners
As you are aware, the random drawing to select the first eight commissioners resulted in zero Latinos
being selected.
In a state where Latinos comprise nearly 40 percent of the total population and nearly one third of its
citizen voting age population, a lack of Latino representation on the Commission would be unacceptable.
Fortunately, you have the power, and the legal obligation, to rectify the dramatic underrepresentation of
Latinos when you make your determinations regarding the final six...

Local Campaign Contribution Limits
The Supreme Court has held that campaign contribution limits are a legitimate means of “deal[ing] with the reality or appearance of corruption inherent in a system permitting unlimited financial contributions.” Campaign contribution limits help to ensure that candidates are not overly reliant on a few wealthy donors to finance their campaigns.
