According to Padilla, Draper needs to collect the signatures of 365,880 voters in order for his initiative to appear in the ballot. He has 180 days to distribute petitions for the measure. He needs to submit the signatures to county election officials on April 23, 2018.
Draper believes that three smaller government can serve all Californians better while preserving the historical boundaries of cities, towns, and counties.
In an interview with KGO, political analyst Steven Maviglio commented that Drapers initiative is disruptive. Creating three new governments and legislatures will disrupt everything we have including the higher education systems.
Maviglio added, “I think diversity is what makes California great and this would actually ruin it.”
