LWV of San Jose/Santa Clara: Pros & Cons Presentation on Proposition 50 and Measure A
Members of our League’s Pros & Cons voter education team will present an unbiased analysis of two items that will be on the Nov. 4 ballot. Questions will be encouraged.
Proposition 50 temporarily requires new congressional district maps, as passed by the Legislature in August 2025, to be used in California’s congressional elections through 2030. In addition, it establishes state policy supporting use of fair, independent, and nonpartisan redistricting commissions nationwide, calling for a federal law to propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to require redistricting.
Measure A authorized Santa Clara County to increase the general sales tax by 0.625% for five years to help address federal cuts enacted by Congress and the President. Cuts are most severe for Medi-Cal services.
