This would push the tan area (dis. 5) further east. They would have to redraw lines to balance the population. What is not mentioned is that if this new adjustment works out, this would put Boardmember Travanti in district 5, and Boardmember Hammond could run in district 4.

Boardmember Lockerbie is proposing the area near Lucinda Garcia park would be incorporated with area 4 on the yellow map.

I #WearOrange bc I believe we all deserve the right to go to school, a grocery store, a parade, a place of worship or anywhere else without running for our lives. I want my girls to grow up free of shooter drills and with the freedom that I had.

Ban assault weapons.

Just remember who came through.

The final tally: 314-117.

Despite being the minority party, more Democrats voted for the bill than Republicans.

Kevin McCarthy also fell short of the 150 Republican votes he reportedly pledged to Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.
