Gavin Newsom tells Prop 50 supporters to ‘stop donating’ after war chest swells

California governor launched redistricting effort to counter Texas's gerrymander and has out-raised opposition

With just one week before California voters are set to head to the polls to decide on the state's redistricting proposal, Gavin Newsom sent an unexpected message to would-be donors: keep your money.

We have hit our budget goals and raised what we need in order to pass Proposition 50. You can stop donating," the California governor said in an email.
