Laphonza Butler's appointment by Newsom is brilliant.
If you're still not sure why I adore California Governor Gavin Newsom so much, his choice of Laphonza Butler to succeed the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein is a perfect example of why he makes my heart skip a beat.
A brief history first. but not excessively. I'm eager to return to the topic of my crush.
When Kamala Harris was chosen to serve as Joe Biden's vice president in 2020, my boy Gav chose Alex Padilla to fill her Senate seat. Given that Hispanics account up 40% of California's population, this made sense.
The Black community, however, was not pleased. In the Senate and within the Black community, Harris was the lone Black woman.
