As Republicans lambasted California lawmakers for rushing through their effort to gerrymander the state’s congressional map, Democrats are facing a quieter angst in their own party. Sadhawani helped draw the state’s existing congressional map when she sat on the commission alongside fellow Democrats, Republicans and independents after the 2020 Census. The current California congressional map gave Democrats a slight advantage. Vance have called the map unfair to the GOP, Republicans in California have been, for the most part, satisfied with it. Recent polling shows voters favor independent redistricting by about the same margin.
