During July 2009, Meg Whitman, a leading candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of California, was interviewed by George Will. Will reported that Whitman favored shrinking the number of Assembly districts in California. At the time, this seemed odd, because California has only 80 Assembly districts, so each Assemblymember represents over 400,000 constituents.

Whitman has since clarified that she does not, in fact, desire to reduce the number of Assembly districts in California.
