Lisa Pruitt interviewed for ShastaScout
Lisa R. Pruitt, Brigitte Bodenheimer Research Scholar and Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of California, Davis School of Law, was recently interviewed for ShastaScout. In an article titled “In the North State, changes driven by redistricting loom. Some fear a loss of representation, others see opportunity,” Pruitt lent her expertise to the potential impacts of Proposition 50, which redrew parts of California into a new district. The measure was not popular in the North State area itself but was supported in the rest of the state. Pruitt’s work and comments in this piece are focused on the potential of rural resentment, as the new district tethers rural and urban areas with different interests to each other.
