With this week’s Supreme Court decision limiting the part of the Voting Rights Act that protects against racial discrimination in redistricting and Florida passing a GOP redistricting plan, we’re revisiting our conversation on gerrymandering with Former AG Eric Holder.

AG Holder shares his history with redistricting, why President Obama concluded that gerrymandering was a significant problem facing this country and where he believed the battle would continue.

I’m Gavin Newsom.

And, it’s time to have a conversation. It’s time to have honest discussions with people that agree AND disagree with us.

It's time to answer the hard questions and be open to criticism, and debate without demeaning or dehumanizing one other.

I will be doing just that on my new podcast – inviting people on who I deeply disagree with to talk about the most pressing issues of the day and inviting listeners from around the country to join the conversation.

THIS is Gavin Newsom.
