How can a resident of Maryland be selected as a California Senator?
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom will appoint Laphonza Butler, the president of pro-abortion political group EMILY’s List, to replace Dianne Feinstein in the Senate, his spokesperson told multiple outlets Sunday.
Newsom had previously pledged to nominate a black woman to replace Feinstein if she was unable to finish her term in the Senate. Though Newsom had previously suggested that his pick to replace Feinstein would simply be a “caretaker” of the Senate seat, his selection of Butler was not contingent on her declining to run in 2024, according to Politico.
WASHINGTON, DC – NOVEMBER 17: Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., questions Mark Zuckerberg, Chief Executive Officer of Facebook, and Jack Dorsey, Chief Executive Officer of Twitter, during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on “Breaking the News: Censorship, Suppression, and the 2020 Election” on November 17, 2020 in Washington, DC.

The decision throws a wrench into the Democratic primary to succeed Feinstein, who died Thursday and was planning to retire at the end of her term in 2024. Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee were vying for her seat. Butler could choose to run for the seat in 2024.
Lee, a black woman, had criticized Newsom for his “caretaker” remarks.
“I am troubled by the governor’s remarks,” Lee said following Newsom’s announcement that he would only appoint a caretaker to the role. “The idea that a Black woman should be appointed only as a caretaker to simply check a box is insulting to countless Black women across this country who have carried the Democratic Party to victory election after election
Butler currently leads EMILY’s List, a political action group committed to electing pro-abortion Democratic women. Butler was recently listed as a resident of Maryland in the group’s Federal Election Commission filings.
The group spent almost $5 million in political contributions during the 2022 election cycle, according to data from OpenSecrets.
Butler also was previously involved as an organizer with the powerful Service Employees International Union, according to Politico.

Yippie……………nothing commands respect in the “hallowed” alarm screeching halls of congress like a faggotnigger sheboon !
In her heart, Laphonza will always be a Californian; she was just resident in Maryland to save on taxes.
black and gay – in today’s world those are great credentials! Who cares if they are a low IQ , left side of the Bell Curve, libtard?
And most important to these devil worshipping filth, a dedicated baby killer.
Those are incidental to being an obedient puppet. Fetterman is a brain damaged drooling idiot and has the same exact qualifications.
She will do EXACTLY what she it told to do. No more and no less………..that is why she was harvested from the east coast hog pen to fill the slot. This states that there are no candidates (gay, straight, men, women, whatever) in Cali that can do the same thing successfully.

Because elections are fake, and the government just does whatever it wants now, and they have no fear of what the people will think.
Well at least we are not surprised by the pick !
One more leftist piece of shit in the senate to replace the Dementia Laden leftist lunatic piece of shit that died !
Senate down one leftist jew
Up one leftist gay she-boon nigger
A win win for the hate America first Democrat Communist party
That’s a dude. Big Mike has some competition.
I thought it read Lollapalooza Butler before the 1st cup of coffee & my vision cleared. I’ve been having some prophetic visions 1st thing in the AM recently.
The registered to vote in California last year, but actually lives in Maryland.
She is a long time ‘close advisor’ to Kamela Harris.
I think this was the price Newsom had to pay to be Kamela’s VP pick, after Biden gets smothered with pillow some time in the next 6 months or so.
[She registered . . . ]
Butler also was previously involved as an organizer with the powerful Service Employees International Union
Another Community Agitator, just what we need.
