DeMaio told “The Chris Salcedo Show” on Wednesday that “Newsom is wantonly violating the state constitution and the law.” DeMaio said the attempt by Newsom and California legislative Democrats to initiate a redistricting effort to draw up new boundaries for the state’s congressional districts is simply illegal. Voters took that power away from them, he said, in 2010.
