Could Gavin Newsoms Redistricting Scheme

If you’re a conservative in California, you’ve most likely heard of GOP Rep. Kevin Kiley. A few years in the past, while Democrat nimrods in the state’s legislature had been all competing to see who might come up with a new tax or excessive gender id law, then-assemblymember Kiley was preventing back and telling the reality about the mess they had been making with the Golden State. He served from 2016 to 2022, then was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

While we had been unhappy to see him go, we knew he’d be an efficient fighter in Washington, D.C., which is precisely what he has been. Because of that, he turned one of the targets of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s grand achievement, the shredding of the state structure in order to gerrymander the districts with Prop. 50 and maybe get rid of 5 GOP seats, including Kiley’s.

But a humorous factor occurred along the best way… Kiley took the daring step of working as an unbiased in a new district, 06, which incorporates most of Sacramento — and he’s presently main the vote depend. In the jungle major system, that would imply that if his lead holds, he would head to a run-off.

Here comes the great half: the second main vote-getter is also a Republican — Michael Stansfield. If that stays the case, it could guarantee that there have been no Democrats in the ultimate two, and no Dem might seize the seat. 

Wouldn’t that be a hoot? I’d pay to see the look on Newsom’s face.

WOW: A newly redrawn congressional map pushed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom is dangerously close to EXPLODING in Democrats’ faces in CD-6 — as Independent Kevin Kiley and Republican Michael Stansfield are main the June 2 major and headed toward a November runoff, doubtlessly shutting Democrats out fully. 

Amazing…!

Now the dangerous news: there are loads more ballots to be counted because of California’s third-world type strategies, which guarantee that the ultimate tally gained’t be obtainable for weeks or even a month. We’ve seen outcomes change dramatically — virtually always magically to the benefit of the Democrats — so there’s no guarantee that these numbers will maintain up.

Will California Independent Kevin Kiley Win His Fight?

As our Jennifer Oliver O’Connell wrote earlier Wednesday, Kiley has been a nuisance to Newsom over the years (and that is supposed as a praise):

Kiley has been a thorn in Newsom’s aspect since 2020, when Kiley was an Assemblyman and sued Newsom for his COVID lockdown insurance policies (and gained). Kiley then ran for governor in the 2021 recall election. As petty as he’s unctuous, Newsom hatcheted up Kiley’s District 3 and moved the parts into two districts: 5 and 6. Kiley selected to run in District 6, which encompasses closely Democrat voting blocs within Sacramento.

Yesterday, we made historical past.

Even if the dream of having two Republicans in the final in November fails to come to fruition, Kiley still appears to be in good place to get at least one of the slots. Then the race basically begins all over again, and if a Democrat takes the other, you will be sure that the Dem Machine will struggle tooth and nail to defeat Kiley. He’s confirmed doubters improper before, though, and wouldn’t it’s superior if he did it again?

It could be a great parting reward to Gavin Newsom, who will mercifully be termed out in January 2027.
