California is poised to lose multiple congressional seats after the 2020 census for the first time in the state’s history, thanks to an exodus of more than 200,000 people between 2018 and 2019, according to the Los Angeles Times. Top destinations include Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Colorado.
“It’s got a lot to do with dispersion from California to the rest of the west,” said senior Brookings fellow, William Frey. “Arizona, Texas and Colorado are all big destinations for California migrants, and they all are gaining seats.”
About 203,000 people left California in that period, a result of the state’s shifting migration patterns and economic strains that are making it harder to afford living here. New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Louisiana also saw large losses to other states.
California’s potential loss in reapportionment, which will be determined by next year’s census count, would drop the state’s number of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives from 53 to 52, said William Frey, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. -LA Times
According to a relocation survey by Texas Realtors, 63,175 Californians moved to Texas in 2017, while almost 41,000 Texans moved to the Golden State. And while California may lose a seat in the House, Texas is likely to gain three seats after the 2020 census. Arizona, Colorado and Oregon may gain one seat apiece.
A state’s population includes all residents - citizens and non-citizens, along with overseas federal employees and their dependents from whatever state they claim as home, according to the US Census Bureau.
That said, if illegal immigrants fail to participate or fail to give honest household figures, California could lose multiple seats according to state redistricting analyst Paul Mitchell,
“If, as many fear, non-citizen populations and the state’s heavily Latino population either fails to participate or participates without providing full household counts, then California could lose more than one seat,” said Mitchell.
The House of Representatives, meanwhile, is limited to 435 members thanks to a 1929 federal law which lawmakers and the president could change if they wanted to.
Exactly where California would lose a seat in the House depends on which communities are larger or smaller compared to census numbers from 2010. The state’s Citizens Redistricting Commission, whose members will be selected in coming months, will hold public hearings in 2021 to determine how to redraw congressional maps.
Paul Mitchell, one of the state’s leading analysts of the redistricting process, said that two places could dominate the discussion: the communities sitting at the intersection of Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties and the suburbs to the east of San Francisco. -LA Times
The most obvious political impact is that incumbent House members would need to run against each other or leave office. The Times notes that in 2012, “Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Northridge) defeated former Rep. Howard Berman in a bitter contest brought on by the new lines drawn in Los Angeles County.”
Losing a House seat would be a “massive rewrite of the Central Valley congressional districts,” said Mitchell.
California’s future numerical strength in Congress hinges in part on making sure that members of historically undercounted groups are included in the census count. In California, 72% of the population belongs to one of these groups, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.
State census workers, community organizations and local politicians started outreach efforts as early as April to ensure an accurate tally in next year’s count. In addition to reapportionment, nearly $800 billion in federal tax dollars and political redistricting are at stake. -LA Times
Officials say Los Angeles county will be the hardest to accurately tally because of its high concentrations of renters, homeless people, and immigrants who may not participate due to language barriers or fear of being targeted by federal immigration authorities.
Meanwhile, the US growth rate has declined steadily over the past decade - with California leading the charge according to Frey, with about 400,000 people under the age of 18.
“This is a symptom of an aging population,” Frey said, adding “and in states like California, an out-migration of younger families with children.”

Californicate, always the consummate political machine, ran 200,000 taxpayers, home owners, business entrepreneurs OUT and replaced them with unemployed illegal aliens who will draw welfare and a homeless problem that will soon bring back Medieval diseases spread by rats.
Must have made sense to someone in their political machinery?
I believe but dont know forca fact that a goodly portion of the elites in Mexico Texas and California were stolen from their ancestors. And that they want them returned. Since Mexico doesnt have the military or economic resources to re-conquer directly, I suspect they support unfettered illegsl immigration into the US for multiple reasons: 1. They make a lot of money for themselves off the drug and smuggling cartels. 2. They make a percentage off the money flowing back into Mexico. 3. They get a reduction in the cost of Mexico’s own social welfare programs by encouraging the unskilled poor to go north. 4. Flooding Texas and California with people who owe allegiance to Mexico creates a “Fifth Column” of collaborators within our own borders.
So question: who stands to lose the most from completion of Trumps Wall? It aint the poor, unskilled peones of Mexico. I contend it aint the American democrat party hoping to keep and increase power. My answer: the wealthy elites who have ruled Mexico since the days of the Conquistadores.
There were very few Mexican settlers in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California areas before American’s in Texas fought at the Alamo for independence from Mexico. They beat the Mexican army and formed the Republic of Texas at the battle of San Jacinto and the Republic of Texas later decided to join the United States. The history of California was similar. Mexico claimed vast parts of the west but only sparsely populated it. John C. Fremont with a few hundred fighters was able to defeat the few Mexican soldier in California and California became a state.If you look at Mexico’s history it was run by Spain at one time and by France. The European countries tried to impose their rule over vast territories and the legitimacy of the claims was never taken seriously IMHO. He American settlers created a rich and booming country in the American west . The Mexican have no legitimate claim to the wealth that they created on the lands they settled.
Sad to say many of those leaving may be liberals going to conservative states bringing the mentality that screwed up great states like California and my home town New York City. I now live in Florida which has liberals in the southeast. Republicans are in firm charge of the legislature and Governor DeSantis is great. But all things political are subject to change and liberals are relentless. Be warned.
Having the same type of problem here in Colorado. Liberals come from California and are still blinded by what ruined the shit hole they left.
Same problem here in Texas. They’re trying hard to change our politics. So far, conservatives have held steady. Texas once was a solid democrat stronghold until dixiecrat excesses and corruption lead to their downfall. We’d had a back and forth political contest until Ann Richards let the Feds get away untouched with the murder of children during the Branch Davidian standoff near Waco in the early 90’s. Forget that most Texans thought David Koresh was a complete lunatic, it was the intentional prevention of firefighters and rescue workers from trying to save the Davidian children from the fire set by the Feds that left a sour taste in the voters mouths. This put the state in Republican hands in the years since.
There are 3 things about politicians that are the kiss of death from Texas voters: 1. Using one’s political office and power to get sex. 2. Using the same office and power to fill one’s pockets. 3. Using the aforementioned to bully, intimidate, or persecute private citizens for political gain.
You are a conspiracy theorist. The fire was “NOT” started by the FBI. It was started by the, in your own words, “LUNATICS” believers. They started fires at four corner locations of the building. Once the fire began, no one could’ve been saved, not even the children. David Koresh is to blame for everything that occurred at the Branch Dravidian Compound, most importantly the death of the children. If he honestly cared a soul the children, he would’ve released them. God knows the truth. Stop listening to the media of today because they are completely and utterly untruth tellers. It’s funny how two people can see the same set of facts and one blames the government and the other the person that started the confrontation. The only explanation is that you must be a liberal democrat, who is blind to the truth and I as a conservative looks at the facts and no matter where it leads believes in them. It’s kind like our current Presidents predicament! How ironic!
Gee, I heard the FBI could have taken him when he was sitting having breakfast in town. But waited until he got back to encampment. Had to show force and they, FBI made it worse. Kind of like Ruby Ridge.
Yea it is funny how two people can see something different. So glad that I did the research and read about.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
This could be scary! If they’re leaving with liberal ideas, stay where you are.
I live in Pinellas county and our share of idiots voted for Charlie Crist. Now Tampa has a gay mayor, not sure where else to move. Maybe east Pasco?
New Jersey felt the exit happening of people leaving in droves because of the high taxes, depleted property values and their sanctuary state laws for illegal aliens.
Unfortunately to stop this, they created an “exit tax” in the form of a real estate tax. If you sell your house you must pay a tax to leave. So basically your home is underwater because values aren’t there than the nice slap in the face with an “exit tax”. Many have just abandoned their homes to get out of the crush of the socialist agenda.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

“We didn’t beat bullies in the past—demagogues.”
Here’s one of the demagogues from New Jersey, who have brought in his illegal aliens, wants free stuff for them, said not ONE word about Menendez and the fraud of medicaid, Basically a BIG bully who pretends he is kind and understanding.
So if you want this twit to be the candidate, go right ahead. Will love to watch President Trump take down this “school house” bully with FACTS. Booker doesn’t have any because he lives in the socialist agenda bubble. Deny, Deny, Deny. Then tell lies. A Democrat way of bullying.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA !
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/12/31/report-hunter-biden-accused-multi-million-counterfeiting-scheme-burisma/
Hey California, one of your newest residents. But unfortunately he appears not to pay taxes, so another freeloader. Or should I say a democratic “special” one.
No wonder I heard last night that Democrats will be doing a huge “information dump” regarding Ukraine and the President’s call. Chuckie says it will be a game changer. I don’t know about that, lol.
“The alleged scheme is linked to CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm that President Donald Trump has said is in possession of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) server that was hacked during the 2016 campaign, a claim that Democrats and some allied fact-checkers have described as a conspiracy pushed by Russia. Trump’s enemies and critics, including many Democrats, have said Russia is the real DNC server hacker.
Fox News learned from the private investigators that the multi-million crime linked to Hunter Biden is part of a money-laundering scheme linked to Ukrainian company Burisma where the former VP’s son worked despite warnings from officials under former President Barack Obama that the company is corrupt.”
Hey Hilary is that where the Democratic Caucus server went to?
And Democrats are screaming that it’s NOT allowed for a President to request help regarding corruption? How dare President Trump stop the money laundering scheme set up for Hunter Biden, Pelosi’s son and John Kerry’s step son. Slow Joe stopped the prosecution with his quid pro quo.
Truly evil.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/01/02/steyer-calls-on-trump-admin-to-testify-on-tv-under-oath-about-what-happened-in-ukraine/
“What I’m pushing for now is to have every one of those Trump administration officials testify on TV under oath about what happened,” Steyer stated. “What I was asking for was televised interviews of those people so the American people could see without any control from either MSNBC or Fox News of exactly what happened. And this president and his administration have continued to obstruct justice by refusing to actually come in front of the American people and tell the truth. That’s why Speaker Pelosi won’t send the charges to the Senate — because they’ve refused to tell the truth to the American people.”
Hey Steyer, why don’t you push for the past World President’s administration to testify what was REALLY going on in Ukraine. Now I know why Speaker Pelosi, who obstructed justice by hiding the House Democrat hacking, along with the DNC, and the Democratic Caucus, is trying to do a “quid pro quo” for her fake impeachment charges.
Hey Chuckie and Nancy, dump all the Ukraine info you want to spin it towards President Trump thru your fake news. We the People already have a BIG idea what really happened. Your guilt is showing every day. Praying for the President? Nah you are praying what you all did doesn’t get out. lol
My prayers might be answered. My vision is seeing Nancy in an orange jump suit behind bars, along with all that went along with it.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/01/02/joe-biden-urges-voters-to-make-2020-the-year-for-gun-control/
Sleepy Joe wants more gun control, lol
“Ironically, the list was not simply about firearm-related killings, it included killings carried out with axes, knives, and other weapons too.
Moreover, the AP story showed California–the state with more gun control than any other–also had the most “mass slayings” of any state in 2019.”
Axes, knives and other weapons, usual weapons of the MS-13 gang, who need to kill someone to go up the chain of command. Did you hear about that Sleepy Joe? Nah, Nancy says they are all God’s children.
And regarding more gun laws, not only is California high with mass killings, but look at Chicago. No one wants to think of that poor city and those innocent people being terrorized in a gun control city.
But go ahead, Sleepy Joe. You don’t care as your security guards that are around you 24/7 have theirs.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/01/02/gavin-newsom-weve-accomplished-so-much-in-california-over-past-decade/
“Gavin Christopher Newsom is an American politician and businessman who is the 40th governor of California, serving since January 2019. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as the 49th lieutenant governor of California from 2011 to 2019 and as the 42nd mayor of San Francisco from 2004 to 2011.”
Yea Mr. Newsom, your politics have helped destroy California for a decade.
This man lives in his liberal bubble because he truly does not see the devastation that made this once Beautiful State a sh!thole. And unfortunately it’s been overflowing all over this Great Nation.
Pure evil.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
Here’s hoping that the people leaving California don’t bring an inclination to vote Democrat with them. Voting Democrat would subvert the purpose. No global socialist policies needed or wanted.
Multiple seats? You call one seat “multiple”? This article is misleading, call it clickbait. We can only hope that CA breaks off and floats out into the Pacific!
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/12/30/2020-census-bureau-data-blue-states-projected-to-lose-congressional-power-in-2022/
Have to disagree, though California is losing one, so is New York and other blue states. California is the leader. New Jersey bows to whatever they say to do. So in a sense, California IS going to lose “multiple seats”.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
CA Attorney General Xavier Becerra has clearly stated his goal is to drive lout the middle class. People leaving may be largely Constitutional conservatives as well as weenie Democrats.
no middle class? No mobility up or down. The ultra rich and the peons who can no longer afford to buy a home and must attend indoctrination from day care to university.
The only hope for California is Federal intervention in its crooked voting structure and drive to stop water storage bonds from being spent to starve out agriculture. Pure evil.
He at other goals too. Especially when he was head of the Democratic Caucus. I wonder where that server went when the Awans were taking the information to their Foreign nationals. Amazing how when the “capital police” found the decoy, Becerra already secured his CA AG position. And Pelosi helped by obstructing justice, along with keeping it from the Minority Republicans, with the help of Paul Ryan. National security, nah, democrats don’t care about USA National security. They were doing the bidding of the World President Obama.
100% agree, PURE Evil.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
Whether or not California loses multiple seats in Congress - California has multiple Congress members who need to be sent to the funny farm - Pelosi - Schiff and Waters would be a great start and the people of California might see an immediate improvement in their state. I would suggest putting Pelosi - Schiff and Waters on the “poop patrols” - so they can clean up the mess THEY created. As Biden said to the coal miners with proper training and the right instructor - I think Pelosi Schiff and Waters could learn to use a pooper scooper and sanitary cleaning devices. Of course there is always the chance that Pelosi will try to drink it - Schiff will be snorting it and Waters will try to funnel most of what she gets control of to her family.
And Feinstein’s husband will get a billion dollar contract to supervise them.
the only thing libs run and are pretty good at is running their mouth . trump2020
HEY MAXINE! HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW TRUMP FOMO HAT? FO MO YEARS.
Abu Tom THERE IS NO COMPARISON TO THE IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT PINOCCHIO PANTS AND PRESIDENT NIXON WHO WAS SET UP BY DIRTY JOHN DEAN.
TO LIST AN INNOCENT MAN WITH TWO SINNERS IS TREASON. CLINTON WAS CONVICTED OF A CRIME AND NIXON RESIGNED IN SHAME. GOD’S INTERVENTION WAS SENT BY THE PEOPLE TO CLEAN THE HOUSE. INSTEAD WE GOT A SOVIET SHOW TRIAL.
IF THIS WAS HUNGARY IN THE 50’S PRESIDENT INNOCENT TRUMP WOULD BE CARDINAL MINDZENTY. ONE THING WE HAVE LEARNED WHEN OUR PRESIDENT ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE WAS ATTACKED BY THE COMMUNIST NETWORKS THE MEDIA IS OUR NUMBER ONE ENEMY. ALL THEY ARE GOOD FOR IS TEARING DOWN THE USA, KILLING KIDS, BRAINWASHING AND SELLING DOPE. WE HAVE GONE FROM MEDICAL DRUGS TO RECREATIONAL DRUGS. BOTH PARTY’S ARE INVESTING IN OPIATES. BUT THE BEST INVESTMENT IS IN ZOMBIE REHAB.
IF THIS WAS A BIBLE STORY NADLER WOULD BE CAIPHAS, THE SCHIFFHEAD WOULD BE JUDAS DISCOUNTING SILVER. THE COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS WOULD BE PHARISEES. THE GOOD NEWS IS A NEW ACRONYM IS ALONGSIDE MAGA. THE NEW BATTLE CRY FOR PRESIDENT 8 YEARS TRUMP IS FOMO. FO MO YEARS.ANYONE CALLING FOR THE LEGALIZATION OF ALL DRUGS AND SHOOT UP CENTERS NEEDS TO WALK BAREFOOT IN SAN FRANCISCO. DRUGS IS CHEMICAL WARFARE AND THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW SLAVERY.
FINALLY WE HAVE A LEADER WHO IS DRUG/ALCOHOL FREE.
MY POLES STASHU AND WANDA ARE MUCH MORE ACCURATE THAN NBC AND CNN POLLS. THEY SAY PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL TAKE THE POPULAR VOTE BY 75% AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL VOLTS. BUGLER SOUND RECHARGE! BARTENDER CHAMPAGNE! I HAVE A TRUMP GREAT ECONOMY COUPON. WRITE YOUR PRESIDENT AND TELL HIM TO GIVE US ANOTHER TAX CUT AND NO TAXES OVER 40 HOURS A WEEK. KEEP THE BALL ROLLING.
SPIRIT OF AMERICA PARTY RADIO SHOW ON YOU TUBE ABUTOM.
i
The Demo-rats DON’T KNOW HOW TO TELL THE TRUTH, they have lied for so long they do not know what the Truth is. They have been spreading their slanderous accusations around for so long and there are people who believe them and these people need to watch a Good Station for the Truth , CHANNEL 360 if you have direct tv. Not any of the other channels that are owned by the dems and only spread their lies over and over again.
The political problem in California will never be resolved until the voters wake up to the mess that the Democrats and their elitist friends have brought to the state and drive the out of Sacramento.
It has to start with Republicans and Independents reasserting themselves in politics and showing that the state can and must be turned around. Our beloved Sunshine State is currently in its sunset as more and more people are being driven out due to ever increasing liberalism and higher taxes on every facet of our lives. Our once beautiful, magnificent cites are rapidly becoming cesspools of filth and contamination. Only a stronger conservative vote can change all of this blighted corruption in Sacramento.
Since California put the “jungle primary” rules in place, conservative people don’t even have anyone to vote for here. Mark my words, they will do the best they can to make sure President Trump doesn’t even appear on the ballot here in November. Usually, there are just two people on the ballot - two Democrats. If you vote at all, it’s for the lesser of two evils. I refuse to vote for a Democrat, so I don’t vote for candidates unless there is a Republican choice. I do vote every time though. No sense allowing someone to steal my vote and cast it for some liberal. I don’t trust ANY California politicians save the few Conservatives here. They have run the state into the ground and are now flooring the accelerator, making it worse. Nunes is one of the few worthy politicians here, but we also have Shiff, Pelosi, Waters and a host of others who are bound and determined to turn the place into a third-world cesspool.
As for the census, there is no reason they should count illegal aliens AT ALL. They have NO business here. They are CRIMINALS and any services given to them are aiding and abetting a criminal in their criminal endeavors. Politicians who approve such aid should be criminally tried and punished.
I don’t believe that about losing Congressional seats in California. Fake News.
Keep listening and watching CNN, MSNBC where the Democratic spin is. Know it makes you feel better, and is your “safe space”.
I guess you want to get rid of the electoral college too? So that the popular vote from California’s illegals and New York/New Jersey illegals will put in a Democratic Socialist president?
Census tells the Government how many LEGAL Americans are in each State and how many Representatives they will have. California has had a huge exodus of LEGAL Americans. Illegal aliens, and foreign nationals don’t count. But they do if you have a popular vote (wink, wink). They shouldn’t be voting at all.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
Seats are based on population.
California deserves to lose all representation. Illegals do not deserve ANY representation. Illegal aliens do not have any right to representation and criminal politicians do not have any right to represent anyone as they only represent themselves. We should not be investigating millionaire businessmen who became President but Crooked Politicians who became Millionaires while in office.
The Democrats can’t accept DEMOCRACY…..they are so hungry for POWER that they are abusing Impeachment and have divided America by FALSELY accusing a democratically elected President of ‘collusion’…..The sad thing is that RINOS like Murkowski, Collins and Milquetoast Romney will side with the radical Democrats because they are FRAUDULANT Republicans who fear the DISHONEST and BIASED media…..add Justice Roberts to that list….more concerned about what the media says about him than upholding the Constitution…
I left and I only know one person who returned (for money).
