WOW. Democrat megadonor and CEO involved with the healthcare company who donated $500,000 to Gavin Newsom's California Democrat gerrymandering map just got EXPOSED
Rep. Jay Obernolte (R) pressed him: WHY is a Big, Rich Insurance company funding the RIGGING of our elections against Republicans?
Paul Markovich is the CEO of Ascendiun, which is the parent company of Blue Shield of California - the entity that donated to Gavin Newsom's Prop 50.
The map is adding multiple Democrat seats in the 2026 midterms.
OBERNOLTE: "If not Prop 50, what ballot measure did you think you were supporting?!"
MEGADONOR: "We didn't know..."
OBERNOLTE: "You wrote a half MILLION dollar check not knowing what ballot measure you were supporting?!"
"When a health insurance company wades into such an obviously political topic like that, it not only erodes your ability to work with folks on the other side, but erodes consumers' trust in the system as a whole! Please DON'T do that again."
BRUTAL.
