The party – which dominates California elections, having controlled both houses of the state legislature since 1996 – announced its official list of endorsements for ballot measures that will appear in the 2022 November election.
That election will include two ballot measures related to sports betting. Tribe-backed Proposition 26, entitled the California Legalize Sports Betting on American Lands Initiative, would allow for retail sports betting only on tribal lands.
