California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) will appoint Laphonza Butler to fill Feinstein’s vacant Senate seat.
“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.” Politico reported.
Dianne Feinstein died Thursday night at the age of 90. She was the longest-serving woman in the US Senate.
Feinstein was also one of the most corrupt Senators, and that is saying a lot.

One would think that with all of the residents of California, the governor could select a one from the state.

Politically he had to pick a black woman, because the moment someone finally convinces Biden to drop out he will have to shove Kamala Harris out of his way.

Many people do not know....There is no "Emily" in Emily's List, it is an acronym..."Early Money Is Like Yeast". It helps to raise the Dough.
It is a fundraising group to raise fund to ...Raise more Funds.
As Dark as Dark Money can be.
They gave up all pretending they care about "Excellence/Representative Govt"...it's allll about the money, which BUYS Power.

Butler was born in Mississippi began her career as a union organizer for nurses in Baltimore and Milwaukee, janitors in Philadelphia, and hospital workers in New Haven, Connecticut. In 2009, she moved to California, organizing in-home caregivers and nurses, and served as president of SEIU United Long Term Care Workers, SEIU Local 2015.
Butler was elected president of the California SEIU State Council in 2013. She undertook efforts to boost California's minimum wage and raise income taxes on the wealthiest Californians. As president of SEIU Local 2015, Butler endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary.
In 2015, Butler was appointed by Governor Jerry Brown to a 12-year term as a regent of the University of California. She resigned from her role as regent in 2021.
Butler joined SCRB Strategies as a partner in 2018. At SCRB, she played a central role in Kamala Harris' 2020 presidential campaign. Butler also advised Uber in its dealings with organized labor while at SCRB. Butler was known as a political ally of Harris since her first run for California Attorney General in 2010 when she helped Harris negotiate a shared SEIU endorsement in the race.
Butler left SCRB in 2020 to join Airbnb as director of public policy and campaigns in North America.
Oh...she is a Lesbian as well, married with a daughter.
Butler was named the third president of EMILY's List in 2021. She was the first Black woman and mother to lead the organization

Abortion is such an insidious procedure to worship. This is no surprise that he would look for the most abortion lover around. But I don't think she was on the radar list. I am sure Meghan is weeping into her tea and crumpets as we speak. Worked in public education for 31 years. I have seen a lot of really stupid names. Not pronounceable and not spelled phonetically. But this one is a doozy. Let's just call her Lap, as in lapdog because that is what she is. Glad to see she checks the most important boxes to represent millions of people. Unqualified black woman who loves abortion.

"Laphonza"
Well, at least they often name them so you can tell in advance what sort of person you will be dealing with.
And she lives in MARYLAND? ....with her 'wife'.
You'd think that even California Democrats would want their black lesbian Senator to at least be a citizen of their own state.

Laphonza [can I call her La-Fonzi? Heeeey!] does have a track record of success. She managed Kamala Sutra's 2020 Presidential campaign. Kammie got the same number of delegates as my GPA in college: Zero. Point. Zero.

Lollapalooza has no qualifications except for her skin color and political party affiliation. Hacks like her were usually relegated to Ambassador appointments in some little tucked away nation someplace, except that in the Fetterman-Biden Age ANYONE can fill a political seat, so long as they follow orders and vote like they're told.
Only 5% of Californians are black, so Gov. Greaseball has just stiffed 95% of voters in the State in order to satisfy the "Kamala Harris" wing of the Democrat party. Foolish little rich boy.

No real surprise here. Pick a skin color then find a candidate. Extra check mark if they’re gay or trans. Hopefully she won’t start stealing men’s luggage from airport carousels.

One question for the California democrats. Couldn't Governor the Breck Girl 2.0 (thanks Rush) at least have picked a Black democrat lesbian from your home state instead of the People's Republic of Maryland? Inquiring minds (not really) want to know.

Gavin Newsom: Senate seat for sale! Senate seat for sale! Laphonza Butler??? She black, check. She's a woman, check. If she's a lesbian, I hit the trifecta! Oooo! She's a lobbyist which means big money!
Guess Oprah is out of the running. The seat isn't worth the investment. Meghan Markle is also out of the running. She thinks the seat should just be given to her.
Hope everyone sees just how corrupt our nation has become.

Allegedly, LeFonzi will soon register to vote in CA. She'll probably pitch a tent on LA's Skid Row and add Homeless to her credentials. I assume she'll fight tooth and nail to keep the Senate seat too.

Thank you number 7 for the biography of this appointee. What you included should have been in this article. She has no political experience but union work and doesn't live in the state currently. There has to have been someone better than her.

So ... good old Gavin turns his search nationwide for a black woman and this is the best he can come up with? Out of ALL 50 states? This is now the most qualified black woman he could find?
I'm sure Ms. Butler will duly represent the people of California and their interests seeing she has no idea what they are. No ... actually ... she will just be pushing her own pro-abortion agenda!
How Dems can continue to support morons like Newsom just escapes me!

The Constitution sets three qualifications for service in the U.S. Senate: age (at least thirty years of age); U.S. citizenship (at least nine years); and RESIDENCY IN THE STATE a senator represents at time of election.
Qualifications & Terms of Service - U.S. Senate
Granted she is appointed, not elected, however, per an FEC filing & her social media she is NOT a resident of the state of CA, but of MD.

Three were supposedly in the running: Longtime CA pol (black) Barbara Lee, the insufferable Katie Porter and Adam Schiff. If there were more, feel free to amend. Barbara Lee thought it insulting to appoint a black woman to an interim position. Porter and Schiff are so hungry they'd have painted themselves black and Schiff would have donned a wig and dress to get the appointment. Instead we have The Phons.
