jakeisphat Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 According to The Washington Post, Democratic party leaders know of 7 women Gavin Newsom is considering to replace Dianne Feinstein following her death: Karen Bass - Mayor of Los Angeles Angela Glover Blackwell - Civil Rights Attorney, Founder of PolicyLink London Breed - Mayor of San Francisco Sydney Kamlager-Dove - U.S. Congresswoman (CA-37) Leondra Kruger - California Supreme Court Justice Holly Mitchell - Los Angeles County Supervisor Shirley Weber - California Secretary of State https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/29/newsom-feinstein-senate-seat-appointment/ Newsom committed to picking a black woman if the seat became open, but has announced that he refuses to pick Rep. Barbara Lee since she is currently running for the seat - saying he doesn't want to tip the scale of the 2024 primary. However, the filing deadline is December 8th. So whoever is appointed could still choose to run for the seat after appointment. Do you approve of anyone on the shortlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junipero Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) I don't think he will choose Karen Bass simply because that LA election seemed close considering Caruso switched from the Republican Party to the Democrat party and almost won as a DINO. I remember when they filled Kamala's seat with the first Latino senator of California and people complained why they gave it(the seat) to a Latino person when Latino's are the largest ethnic group in California; I think some people wanted Kamala to be replaced with a black female but having a Latino person was also a big deal considering this is the first time a Latino person occupied the seat. I wonder how this upcomming election will play out; will the Californian people eventually vote in a DINO or keep Newsom's pick?

Sergi91 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 It doesn’t make sense to pick Lee otherwise he will tip the scale of the upcoming election and it would not be fair for the other people running. The problem here is that wherever is chosen it won’t be an interim senator because who on Earth would leave their current job to be a temporary senator? The person who is chosen will most likely run for a full term next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClashAndBurn Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 London Breed probably has it in the bag. Not only is she a cop lover, she’s also a SF mayor like Feinstein was, so it’d be a logical continuation of the same neoliberal rot that has plagued the California Democratic Party for decades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was picked because she is completely unknown and has no experience running a winning campaign. Newsom picked someone who would either not run for the seat or not be able to win the seat. He said that he wanted to pick a caretaker and he most likely was successful This really changes nothing, it is still between Schiff and Porter. Between those two, I’m hoping Porter comes out on top. But it seems like the whole Democratic Party is working to make Schiff the winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
