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.

Seiu....totally predatory organization. They lose more jobs for the constituents who voted to have them. The companies fire the employees, pile excess work on them, and make their working conditions at a bare minimum structure. The union members use every loophole to get out of work. When the company goes bankrupt or folds up their tents...the workers are left out in the cold. The union pockets the cash and rarely fight for the individual worker. Then they go ruin the next company. True, many companies treat workers like dirt....but the SEIU is a sure way to eventually lose your job. Saw it with my own eyes.

Edit
Butler is openly lesbian.[11] Butler and her partner, Neneki Lee, have a daughter. They live in Los Angeles.[8]
Wonder how the Asians and Latino’s feel about being shut out of the process???
I’m sure he regrets the promise. Now the angry Hispanics will be the cause of his panic attack when they drop their support for him.
I didn’t have to look at the picture.
And Newsome wants to be president.
Yeah, right. That's believable. Most people are fighting to take her place or take her millions; everyone else hasn't noticed any difference.
Whatever happened to the Calexit thing?
Whether it was what he promised or not, we all knew this kind of pick was inevitable.
“...millions of people still mourning the death of Feinstein...”
Almost a dude. A lesbian. I think. LGBTQ could mean a trannie.
Isn’t that special.

I”m surprised you needed to even form the question.
Harry has ALWAYS been a loser and a very spoiled and cossetted git! Even his mother, who spoiled him rotten, said that he took after her and wasn't worth much.
The Spencer family, for many generations, has produced quite a few dimwits, spoiled and very wild women, and wife beaters.
Diana was an uneducated, very manipulative, not very intelligent girl/woman, who had quite a number of mental problems. She and Lady Georgina ( separated by many generations ), were two of a kind!
Harry NEVER would have graduated from Eton if his tutor didn't do his homework and crib for him, re taking tests and his brother William looking after him.
The ONLY reason that Harry even got into college, ANY COLLEGE, is because his grandmother was the Queen and his father was the Prince of Wales! And he damned near flunked out of college, even with his tutor's help. And he ONLY took two finals and got a D, A BLOODY D, in one of them and that was GEOGRAPHY!
None of his 2 "serious" girlfriends would marry him; turned him down flat!
So when Markle put the moves on him, he thought that he has won the gold ring/jackpot. But in actuality,by marrying her, he lost EVERYTHING worth having!
I would love to see a man-on-the-street interview in CA asking who is Dianne Feinstein?
A lesbian who has a wife.
Who can keep track of this craziness?
OMG. A pervert as well. Seems like black female pervs are on the top of the list for everything now.
Ding ding ding, we have a diversity hat trick!
