Sacramento, CA – Common Cause issued the following statement after voters in California received a mailer from “Protect Voters First” about the November redistricting ballot initiative. The mailer includes a quote from Common Cause California Executive Director Darius Kemp, wrongly implying that Common Cause is part of this coalition.

Common Cause 회장 겸 CEO Virginia Kase Solomón의 성명

“Common Cause is in no way affiliated with Protect Voters First and did not authorize this mailer. Our position on mid-cycle redistricting is clear — we will not oppose mid-cycle redistricting efforts in states that meet our six fairness criteria. However, any states that refuse to comply with our criteria will meet strong people-powered opposition.”

Statement of Common Cause California Director Darius Kemp 

“California’s proposal meets our organization’s fairness criteria; therefore, our focus here will remain on election protection, voter education, and voter empowerment in the lead up to November 4.”
