Senate Plans Redistricting Fight Over California Seats
In California Democrats unveil a plan creating a new black district in South-Central Los Angeles and seek a near even split of five new congressional seats. The proposal favors Democrats in Los Angeles and San Bernardino Riverside areas while GOP gains are seen in Santa Clara and San Diego counties. The plan also shifts Rep Barry Goldwater Jr. from Ventura to Kern County and risks McCloskey’s reelection bid in New Hampshire. A Democratic and Republican clash over lines is expected in the Assembly Senate conference.

Brophy Upset Shocks California Assembly Ranks
Republican Bill Brophy won a special election in the 4th Assembly District of California, shocking Democrats and derailing a near agreement on a reapportionment plan. The result risks extending the 1971 session as Democrats and Republicans feud over district boundaries shaped by the 1970 census. Key figures include Assembly Democrats like Henry Waxman and Republicans such as John Collier and Frank Lanterman. The victory followed a divisive primary and a shooting incident near Brophy’s Highland Park home that drew sympathy for the candidate.
