California Senator Replacing Feinstein Makes History

Laphonza Butler will replace the late Dianne Feinstein in the U.S. Senate. California Gov. Gavin Newsom was tasked with filling the seat after the 90-year-old senator passed away on September 28. Butler was the CEO of Emily’s List, an organization that calls itself a “resource dedicated to electing Democratic pro-choice women to office.” She will be the first openly LGBTQ person to represent California in the Senate as well as the first Black openly lesbian senator in American history.

[@CaliforniaDreamin.]

Inside Edition left out critical information about this person appointed to fill this seat…

[@nxlznl5754]

Big surprise 😐

[@KuominMessenger129]

But she doesn't even have a Wikipedia page

[@G-Man-half-life]

She doesn’t need one a Wikipedia page is not needed for someone to get a job in government.

[@RennovaMOCs]

She will soon.

[@theyeening]

It should've been either Katie Porter or Barbara Lee. Like, who even is this appointee?

[@isaacsac5]

Why did Barbara Lee not get chosen?

[@C_In_Outlaw3817]

That’s ok tho. This woman seems cool too

[@andrewretoske6336]

Because Gavin Newsom is a corporate sellout

[@KuominMessenger129]

Maybe because she is 77

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

It should have been Barbara Lee

[@andrewretoske6336]
