California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday that the Golden State will move forward with a special election in early November to place its own redistricting plan on a ballot measure before voters.

Texas House Democrats who have left the state to block a vote on redistricting were hosted by California leaders on Friday.

Gov. Gavin Newsom and Texas Democrats jointly promoted California’s plan to redraw congressional lines and offset a redistricting scheme in Texas. The proposed map is expected to be made public next week.
