Ballot Measures and California Redistricting

Ballot measures give voters a chance to participate in direct democracy while providing nonprofit organizations with a powerful platform to educate the public about issues they champion. In this episode, we discuss California's pending redistricting ballot measure and other developments in direct democracy with returning guest Emma Olson Sharkey. Attorneys for this Episode • Tim Mooney • Susan Finkel Sourlis • Emma Olson Sharkey, Elias Law Group The Importance of Ballot Measures ·       Ballot measures give voters direct power to shape laws and policies, bypassing legislatures. ·       For nonprofits, they're a powerful platform to educate the public and advance mission-driven issues. ·       Emma Olson Sharkey—partner at Elias Law Group and one of the nation's leading ballot measure experts—returns to share insights (last heard in ROTG 96). California's Prop 50: Mid-Cycle Redistricting ·       Background: California has an independent redistricting commission that drew maps in 2021 for the 2022 elections. ·       New twist: In response to Texas' recent partisan maps, Governor Newsom and allies pushed for mid-decade redistricting. ·       The ballot measure: Prop 50, passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor, will go to voters in a special election on November 4, 2025. Redistricting Through Ballot Measures ·       Ballot measures have long been used to reform redistricting across the U.S. ·       Examples:   - Successful: Colorado (2018), Michigan (2018), Missouri (2020), Ohio (2018).   - Unsuccessful: Ohio's most recent attempt. ·       Mid-cycle redistricting isn't new: Texas pioneered it in 2003 under Tom DeLay, and the playbook has returned in 2025. What Nonprofits Need to Know ·       501(c)(3) Public Charities: May engage in ballot measure advocacy—it counts as lobbying. Key distinction: 'Vote yes/no on Prop X' = permissible lobbying; 'Vote for Candidate Y' = prohibited partisan activity. ·       Because Prop 50 is rooted in partisan battles, public charities must tread carefully and seek legal advice before weighing in. ·       Generally safe activity: nonpartisan voter engagement (e.g., get-out-the-vote drives, voter registration), but seek counsel especially around Prop 50. ·       501(c)(4)s and Labor Organizations: Have far greater leeway—no cap on lobbying. But California's strict regulatory environment requires attention to registration and reporting obligations. Restricting Access to Ballot Initiatives ·       Since 2016, conservative legislatures have increasingly tried to restrict citizen-led ballot measures. ·       States in the spotlight: North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Missouri, Florida, Oklahoma, Arkansas. ·       Many proposals fail, but recent years have seen more succeed, especially in Florida and Arkansas. ·       Missouri is considering both mid-cycle redistricting and ballot measure restrictions in the same session. A Bit of Good News ·       South Dakota victory: A federal court struck down H.B. 1184's nine-month filing deadline for ballot measures as unconstitutional, reaffirming citizens' First Amendment rights. ·       Practical impact: Keeps the window open for grassroots groups to gather signatures and qualify measures.

A Senate seat in Washington’s 26th district is looking like a barn burner. The district covers Gig Harbor, Bremerton, Port Orchard and the Key Peninsula. And Democrats are hoping to keep that district from flipping. Democratic state Senator Deb Krishnadasan is the appointed incumbent in this fight. She finished the primary about 1,000 votes ahead, setting up an incredibly tight race for this November. She’ll square off against Republican state Representative Michelle Caldier, who has served the district for 6 terms in the House. It’s a classic Republican versus Democrat race with the potential to diminish Democratic control in the Senate.

Senate Invokes ‘Nuclear Option' to Fast Track Presidential Nominations

On this episode: Senate Republicans pushed through a major change to how presidential nominees are confirmed, lowering the threshold to a simple majority and allowing many nominees to be approved in large groups rather than one by one. The change applies to more than 1,200 positions across the federal government, including ambassadors, U.S. attorneys, and military appointments. Supporters argue it will speed up confirmations and prevent backlogs that can stall an administration's agenda. Critics warn it weakens Senate oversight, sidelines the minority party, and chips away at institutional norms designed to protect bipartisan cooperation.Roll Call reporter Ryan Tarinelli joins host Norman Leahy to explain what exactly changed, why Republicans chose this moment to act, how the move fits into a decade of similar Senate rule fights, and what it might mean for the future balance of power in Congress.There have been three other uses of the nuclear option in recent years, all of which affected how the confirmation process works in the Senate. In 2013, Senate Democrats used it to change the threshold to invoke cloture on non-Supreme Court nominations from 60 votes to 50 votes. The two other recent uses of the nuclear option occurred during Trump's first administration. In 2017, Senate Republicans expanded Reid's rule change from 2013 to include Supreme Court nominations. In 2019, Senate Republicans used the process to reduce the length of post-cloture debate on nominations from 30 hours to 2 hours.Read Tarinelli's reporting: https://rollcall.com/2025/09/11/gop-changes-senate-rules-to-speed-some-confirmations/ Follow our coverage: https://news.ballotpedia.org/2025/09/12/senate-republicans-invoke-nuclear-option-to-change-nomination-rules/ Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

On this episode: CA voters will decide this fall whether to approve Proposition 50, a ballot measure that would amend the state's constitution to temporarily suspend the state's independent redistricting commission and replace its maps with new, partisan-drawn districts. Supporters, led by Governor Gavin Newsom and Democratic allies, argue the change is needed to counter mid-decade redistricting efforts in states like Texas and Florida. Opponents — including Republicans, good governance groups, and even former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger — say the measure undermines reforms voters approved more than a decade ago. Maya C.

Control of Pennsylvania’s highest court is at stake this November 4th, as voters decide whether to retain three Democratic Supreme Court justices. Supporters point to their impartial rulings and endorsement from the nonpartisan Pennsylvania Bar Association. Public agencies in Pennsylvania spend millions on private lobbying to influence state government and secure state grants. Some government officials say their lobbyists are well worth the nearly $7 million in taxpayer money spent statewide on these firms since the start of last year. Governor Josh Shapiro says his administration is prepared if Donald Trump sends the National Guard to the state.

If passed, it could generate $445 million over six years, with funds split between the county and its cities. The projects? Everything from road widening and resurfacing to new sidewalks, multi-use trails, and roundabouts. Think smoother commutes, safer intersections, and maybe even a pedestrian plaza in Woodstock. The vote happens Nov. 4. STORY 2: Holly Springs breaks ground on Town Center amphitheater  Shovels hit the dirt Wednesday as Holly Springs broke ground on its long-awaited amphitheater, a centerpiece for the growing Town Center. Set near the railroad tracks, the amphitheater will host concerts, festivals, and community events—like the Holly Springs Harmonies summer series. Construction is expected to wrap up in nine months. The $2.3 million project is part of a larger vision: restaurants, shops, homes, and more. STORY 3: Waleska to hold special election next year for council seat A special election is on the horizon after no one stepped up to run for a city council seat set to expire Dec. 31. Councilman Logan Patrick, who’s not seeking re-election, is moving outside city limits. With no candidates qualifying for his seat, the city will hold a special election sometime after Jan. 1, according to City Clerk Kim Kirsch. Meanwhile, council members Kristi Bosch and Michael Green will return, running unopposed. Patrick’s final council meeting is Dec. 15, wrapping up 12 years in the community he’s called home.

Break: COBB MAKE A WISH STORY 4: Former CDC leaders worry about the agency’s direction, impact on public health  Former CDC leaders gathered at the Georgia Capitol Tuesday, invited by Democratic lawmakers, to voice concerns about the agency’s future and its impact on public health. The meeting came days after President Trump fired CDC Director Susan Monarez, just a month into her role. Her dismissal followed Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s controversial shake-up of the vaccine advisory committee, raising questions about long-standing immunization policies. Dr. Debra Houry, who resigned after Monarez’s firing, warned of growing vaccine skepticism. The event also highlighted public mistrust. Atlanta resident Melinda Hicks confronted Houry and Jernigan, blaming a friend’s death on the COVID-19 vaccine. Democrats urged Gov. Brian Kemp to back the CDC, but he declined to comment. STORY 5: Cherokee County considering $438 million 2026 budget  Cherokee County is hashing out a $438 million budget for the next fiscal year, and they want to hear from you.

On this episode: Congress has returned from its summer recess, but the break has done little to ease the challenges on their plate. At the top of the agenda is a fast-approaching deadline to fund the government, with debates inside the Republican caucus shaping what kind of proposal might move forward. Democrats face their own set of pressures, balancing calls from within the party's base for a tougher stance with concerns about being seen as responsible for a potential shutdown. These crosscurrents come at a moment when long-serving members like New York Democrat Jerry Nadler are beginning to step aside, raising broader questions about generational change and how leadership roles may shift in the coming years.Beyond the funding debate, lawmakers are also navigating how best to explain sweeping legislation to voters back home, a task complicated by the sheer size and scope of recent bills. Discussions around security funding for Washington, D.C., add another layer of complexity, as members weigh policy details alongside political considerations. And then, of course, there's the ongoing public pressure for greater transparency in the Epstein saga.Together, these issues illustrate the crowded landscape on Capitol Hill and the many factors shaping the work of Congress this fall. POLITICO congressional reporter Nicholas Wu joins the show to help shed light on the hectic month ahead.  Check out some of our guest's work: https://www.politico.com/staff/nicholas-wu Learn more about the latest in Congress: https://ballotpedia.org/119th_United_States_Congress Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

In a time when U.S. politics feels gridlocked and bleak, ballot initiatives are offering a surprising source of hope. In some of the reddest states—places that handed Trump overwhelming victories—voters are quietly embracing progressive policies like paid sick leave, higher minimum wages, and Medicaid expansion. In this episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Chris Melody Fields Figueredo, Executive Director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, about why ballot measures succeed where candidates fail. Together, they explore how citizen-led initiatives cut through partisan noise, mobilize communities, and create lasting change—even in places dominated by gerrymandering and voter suppression. From Nebraska to Missouri, Chris explains how grassroots coalitions and early funding strategies build momentum and protect hard-won victories. The conversation also looks ahead to upcoming ballot fights over reproductive freedom, LGBTQ rights, and voting access—and why this tool may be one of the most powerful defenses against authoritarianism at home and abroad.

Summary In this conversation, Leah Wilson interviews Dr. Pete Chambers, a retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel and candidate for Texas governor. They discuss Dr. Chambers' motivations for running, his views on informed consent and medical freedom, the role of government in protecting individual liberties, and the importance of grassroots movements in today's political landscape. Dr. Chambers emphasizes the need for transparency in health data collection and the dangers of government overreach in public health. In this conversation, Pete Chambers discusses various pressing issues facing Texas, including cybersecurity risks, the implications of weather modification practices, public health concerns related to water fluoridation, the role of school-based health centers, mental health challenges among youth, food security in relation to mRNA technology, and his campaign strategies for the upcoming gubernatorial election. Chambers emphasizes the importance of parental rights, government accountability, and grassroots involvement in political processes. Key Takeaways: Doc Chambers believes in the importance of informed consent for all medical interventions. The government should not override individual liberties for public health mandates. Freedom of speech is a fundamental right that must be protected. Grassroots movements are essential for political change in Texas. Health data collection by the government poses significant risks. Dr. Chambers emphasizes the need for transparency in medical practices. He advocates for the rights of individuals to make their own health choices. Water should hydrate, not medicate; consider ending fluoridation. Parents are the best advisors for their children. Food security is a defense issue that needs attention. We need grassroots support and funding for the campaign.

On Wednesday July 23rd, Ms. Alina Habba, the acting US Attorney for the state of New Jersey, released a statement regarding a former Atlantic City official who was being sentenced to 2 years behind bars for the crime of submitting fake Mail-In Ballots.Here's what the statement read in part: “An Atlantic County, New Jersey, man was sentenced today to 24 months in prison for his role in the procurement, casting, and tabulation of fraudulent mail-in ballots submitted in connection with the general election held on November 8, 2022.”The man in question here is a Political Organizer slash former President of the Atlantic City, city council — Mr. Craig Callaway. His story is quite interesting—because not only does it highlight a fascinating, concrete example of major ballot fraud, but also, it shows us how this type of fraud cuts across party lines—being used by both Republicans and Democrats. Now we covered Mr. Callaway's story briefly when the charges against him first came to light last year, but now that he's pled guilty and has been sentenced to prison, let's go through the details of his election operations over in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
