Newsome chooses Alphonza Butler to senate

[HillsideDesolate]

Doesn't she live in Maryland?

Someone that gives a chit, refresh my memory; how long can she occupy the seat before a special election is mandated? I'm mildly curious.

"The state will then hold two concurrent Senate elections in 2024: one special election to finish out Ms Feinstein's term, which ends in January 2025 and the regularly scheduled election for the US Senate seat for a six-year term, ending in 2031."

Well, you know what her "values" are and what we want for our school children and they aren't similar. Why do people like this have to push their "values" off on others? Her qualifications are...woke, female Black, and queer.

Was anyone really expecting a straight, white, male, pro-wall, pro-death penalty, pro-life, conservative business owner?

Well, it would be nice to have someone with some experience, and somewhat conservative values regardless of ethnic grouping...I know, that is impossible in California-but to force feed us extreme liberalism and knowing what they'll support once they get to Washington...

California is a lost cause, politically. They will always have liberal senators. Liberal vs crazy woke liberal-doesn’t matter as they will vote the same in the Senate regardless.

That would be a very diverse choice in california

She is a resident of Maryland. I guess Newsome couldn't identify a California resident who checks-off all of the boxes he had.

No. Californians deserved what they voted for. I'm sure she or some like minded individual will be elected and serve 50 years as they grow rich

McCarthy is one of them. But he hides behind the R in his title.
