CALIFORNIA — Today, the Yes on 50 campaign launched its final ad, heading into the final week of the campaign with an unprecedented show of unity across the Democratic Party. Featuring leaders from across the country– including President Barack Obama, Senator Chris Murphy, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez– the ad highlights the national importance of Prop 50. As Republican Governors across the country continue to acquiesce to Donald Trump’s demands to steal congressional seats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, the ad, up today across broadcast and digital, emphasizes the power Californians have to stand up to Donald Trump, protect our democracy, and secure fair midterm elections in 2026 by passing Prop 50 and preventing Trump from gaining two more years of unchecked power.
“California, with Prop 50, you have the power. – President Obama
You have the power to stand up to Donald Trump. – Governor Gavin Newsom
You have the power to protect Reproductive Freedom. – AOC
You have the power to stop election rigging. – Senator Chris Murphy
You have the power to give America a fair midterm. – Senator Elizabeth Warren
You have the power to restore checks and balances. – Sen Alex Padilla
You have the power to stand up for everyone being erased by this President. – Rep Lateefah Simon
For All of us, in All 50 states, yes on 50.”
More on Prop 50:
Proposition 50, the Election Rigging Response Act, is the country’s best hope to counter Trump’s power grab and ensure a fair 2026 national midterm election. By voting yes, California voters have a chance to block Donald Trump’s plan to steal seats and maintain his total control of the federal government, which would give him free rein to keep up his unpopular policies and authoritarian power grabs– like cutting healthcare, denying a woman’s right to choose, and even sending the military into American cities.
