You’re invited to this week’s POLITICO Pro Briefing — a limited opportunity to hear directly from our reporters and stay ahead of fast-moving policy developments.

California’s congressional lines are once again under scrutiny, with lawsuits and campaigns poised to reshape the nation’s largest state delegation. At stake: not only who represents millions of Californians in Washington, but also the balance of power in the narrowly divided House.

Join POLITICO on Thursday, September 11, at 10:00am PT for an in-depth briefing on the legal, political, and demographic battles playing out in California’s redistricting war. We’ll walk you through the commission’s role, the court challenges, the emerging national party strategies, and the broader stakes for representation and governance. With California at the heart of both demographic change and partisan competition, our panel will unpack what’s legal, what’s political, and how the fight over maps in the Golden State could shape the next chapter of American politics.
