LOS ANGELES, CA -Voting-rights attorney Anuj Dixit has ended his campaign for California’s 48th Congressional District, saying that the redistricting changes triggered by Proposition 50 have fundamentally reshaped the race.

In a statement released on November 19, Dixit said the ballot measure “has geographically reshaped the dynamics of this race,” adding, “Accordingly, I am ending my campaign for the new CA-48. I’m grateful to everyone who supported my campaign.”

Dixit, who grew up in Riverside County and a six-year U.S. Air Force veteran, said his commitment to voting rights remains firm. He emphasized that “the choices our leaders make today will define not only the strength of our democratic institutions but also the economic opportunity available to our community for generations to come,” adding that protecting every individual’s voice in the democratic process continues to guide his work.

He said he will support efforts to flip the district in next year’s general election and pledged to do “everything he can” to help Democrats win the seat in November.

Dixit’s endorsements had included Rep. Marilyn Strickland, ASPIRE PAC, Indian American Impact, AAPI Victory Fund, and the Asian American Action Fund.
