Vote for A Stronger Voice at the Federal Level

A special election is an election held outside of the regularly scheduled election cycle to fill a vacant public office or address a specific ballot issue. In this special election Californians will vote on Proposition 50, which would allow the state to use new congressional district maps for the November 2026 election.

In July, Republicans in Congress voted to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for Medi-Cal and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP, which puts food on the table for the children in our care.

These cuts go into effect starting in 2026 and will devastate home care and family child care providers, our families and communities.

This is just the beginning; the cuts won’t stop there if we don’t act. New Congressional maps will give us a chance to elect champions for working families that will vote to protect the programs and funding we need. Prop 50 gives us the power to protect our programs and have a stronger voice in Congress.

Cynthia Williams

“We need champions in Congress to fight for IHSS and family child care. The Republicans in California voted to cut hundreds of millions in funding for Medi-Cal and IHSS. We deserve better representation in Congress!

We can fight back by voting YES on Prop 50.”

Precious Henley

“In Kern County, we have horrible air quality and a huge segment of the population relies on Medicaid for health care. Cutting Medicaid is like choking them to death. I’m supporting Prop 50 to hold congressional members accountable. It’s time to elect members of Congress who care about strengthening our communities!”
