California's Democratic Legislature is expected to counter Texas' mid-decade redraw of its congressional map with one of its own.

Republican legislators in California announced Wednesday that they are sending a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice and to the U.S. Attorneys representing California, calling for a potential federal investigation into who is behind the proposed new congressional maps in California and how they were constructed.

According to the Campaign Legal Center, Johnson’s campaign committee began paying $2,500 a month to Issa this past March for a Washington, D.C., property he uses as a residence.
