The California Republican Party has recognized and honored Michael Escoto, one of its key leaders, after his recent passing. Escoto, a pioneer and innovator in political information technology, is celebrated at the CRP headquarters and with a program for people in need.

Michael Escoto was the Deputy Executive Director and Chief Data and Digital Officer of the state party. Bryan Watkins, the CRP's Chief Operating Officer & Executive Director, said that Escoto created the CRP's Digital program from scratch. It includes the digital fundraising program, a new revenue stream for the party, and CARES (the California Republican Engagement System), which connects with volunteers. He also led development of the CRP's Election Integrity hub, which provides statewide support and reporting for voter integrity matters, among others.

Michael Escoto grew up in Northern California (in Elk Grove) and studied political science at the University of Southern California . . .  read more

The California Citizens Redistricting Commission is seeking input on the proposed districts for California State Senate, Assembly and U.S. Congress. The proposed districts were made available in mid-November and must be finalized prior to December 27.

These districts followed several different “visualizations” in which districts were posted and then modified in response to feedback. The Commission has developed an online District Viewer where one can view both existing and proposed districts.  

Feedback on proposed districts can be given in a variety of ways via the California Redistricting Commission website or during meetings as they are scheduled. The Commission’s website contains an online comment form at wedrawthelinesCA.org

In addition, the Commission has provided specialized tools to allow citizens to give more precise feedback on how lines should be drawn.  . . .  read more
