California begins its plan to add more Democrats to Congress. The California legislature will consider three bills that will allow a special election.

The California State Assembly has passed Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s redistricting plan, a day after Republicans in the Texas House passed new maps of their own. In California, the state Assembly and Senate on Thursday are taking up a trio of bills that will allow for a special election to pass a constitutional amendment to replace the state’s existing congressional maps through 2030.
