California has a non-partisan redistricting commission, so there will be no partisan play against Nunes or McCarthy.
The
LA Times considers where the seat may be subtracted:
Quote:
California registered a population of 39.5 million, up 2 million from the last census. The state had more births than deaths and net migration from other countries, but within the United States, more people moved out of California than in.
The sluggish population growth resulted in the loss of a congressional seat, which redistricting analysts say could shake up Los Angeles County. The 25th Congressional District, which includes Simi Valley and Santa Clarita, could be drawn inland, giving the seat a more liberal makeup and imperiling the reelection of GOP Rep. Mike Garcia. But the redrawing of the boundaries could also reverberate in the Central Valley or Orange County, the once solidly GOP region that now is prime swing territory.
