Newsom picks Laphonza Butler as Feinstein replacement
Yahoo ^ | 10/1/2023 | Christopher Cadelago

California Gov. Gavin Newsom will appoint EMILY’s List President Laphonza Butler to fill the seat of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, elevating the head of a fundraising juggernaut that works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights, according to a person familiar with the decision.

Newsom is moving swiftly to name the next senator, two days after Feinstein’s death and just as a perilously split Congress narrowly averted a government shutdown. Senate Democrats are in need of every vote in the closely divided chamber.

The announcement was expected to come Monday, and an adviser to the governor, Anthony York, told POLITICO that Newsom is making his appointment without putting limitations or preconditions on his pick running for the seat in 2024. That means Butler could decide to join the sprawling and competitive field of Democratic contenders seeking to succeed Feinstein, with special elections now layered on top of the March primary and November runoff.

Newsom’s selection of Butler comes at a moment of immense change in California’s political establishment, with millions of people still mourning the death of Feinstein, the barrier-breaking Senate lioness. Meanwhile the California governor, who was mentored by Feinstein, has been grappling with his own personal grief and the political ramifications of his choice to succeed her.

Schiff knew where to send the check.
He obviously didn’t get it in the mail in time.

She’s Deep State.

“EMILY’s List is a political organization that works to elect Democratic women who support abortion access. Butler’s EMILY’s List biography had listed her residence as Silver Spring, Maryland earlier Sunday evening, but it was removed from the profile shortly after it was announced she would be appointed to the position. An FEC filing from Aug. 31 also showed she lived in Maryland.” (FoxNews)

She’s also LGBTQ+

Everything Newsome could ask for all wrapped up in one person.

There's a reason for black, black, black all the time. Black voters all over the country are deserting the open borders party in droves. They finally have figured out that the illegals will take their jobs and they will have no where to work.

Soon the dirty dems won't need the black vote any more since there will be so many third worlders that's all they will need.

Since few of them vote the dirty dems will vote for them.

She is being rewarded for her service in advancing the Communist cause. Now she can start to reap the financial rewards that made Swinestein filthy rich. Did Xi approve or order her appointment?

Laphonza is a radical democrat extremist bent on murdering the unborn.

SHE IS A GHOUL.

Newsoms appointment os a war signal, and he intends to run for president with radical extremist running mate.

NOw the war will heat up exonentially.

May MAGA be victorious.
