90-year old US Senator died this morning after serving in Congress for decades. The former Mayor of San Francisco served many years and was well respected by both parties. She was a formidable opponent and a formidable supporter of democratic principles.
Now Gov. Gavin Newsom has an opportunity rarely faced(although this is his 2nd opportunity after Sen. Kamala Harris was elected VP and Newsom appointed now serving Sen. Al Padilla, former CAlifornia Secretary of State and author of the gift proposition- -Prop. 19- that gifted billions to the National Assoc. of realtors who contributed $42 millions to the campaign to pass the law, gutting tax laws meant to protect homeowners in the State.
The question: who will Gov. Newsom appoint to fill the seat? A Black woman as promised? Watch this circus act as it unfolds.
