It’s been less than two weeks since Laphonza Butler was hand-picked by Newsom to fill the Senate seat of the late Dianne Feinstein, and the question remains – will Butler enter the 2024 race to run for the seat in her own right?
PREV. COVERAGE: Butler is the only Black woman serving in the U.S. Senate and the first openly LGBTQ+ person to represent California in the chamber.
Before being named by Newsom, Butler led Emily’s List, a political organization that supported pro-choice, female Democratic candidates. Butler’s decision could completely upend the 2024 California Senate race, which has been in full swing for the better part of 2023. The race already features prominent Democrats scubas Representatives Adam Schiff, Katie Porter, and Barbara Lee. On the Republican side, former candidate for California Attorney General Eric Early and former Dodger Steve Garvey have made their candidacies official, Garvey just this week.
Butler is also weighing the impact that a campaign and a possible six-year term might have on those closest to her.
