RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
ADOPTING A POSITION OF OPPOSITION TO
PROPOSITION 50 ON THE NOVEMBER 2025 BALLOT
WHEREAS, Proposition 50, appearing on the November 2025 California ballot, proposes
to amend the California Constitution to alter the process for drawing
congressional districts; and
WHEREAS, the current process, established by voters,assigns the responsibility for drawing
congressional districts to the independent California Citizens Redistricting
Commission, designed to operate in a non-partisan manner; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 50 would transfer the authority to draw congressional districts from
the California Citizens Redistricting Commission to the State Legislature; and
WHEREAS, the independent California Citizens Redistricting Commission was created to
ensure fair and impartial district boundaries, including safeguards to keep
cities, counties, and local communities together; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 50 would remove existing safeguards intended to maintain the
integrity of local communities in the redistricting process; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 50 proposes dividing communities, forcing some cities and
counties to be split among multiple congressional districts under the
measure's new maps and diminishing their voice in Congress; and
WHEREAS, the Yorba Linda Water District recognizes the importance of maintaining a
transparent and independent redistricting process to uphold public trust in
electoral systems; and
WHEREAS, the Yorba Linda Water District believes that Proposition 50 undermines the
voter-approved framework for fair redistricting in California.
