Butler’s story obscured serious political implications.
Laphonza Butler smiles as she waits for Vice President Kamala Harris to arrive at the Old Senate Chamber for her swearing-in at the U.S. Capitol on October 3 in Washington DC.
Butler’s main ask in the letter was that authorities consider “the totality of who and what Mr. Ridley-Thomas has been, the work he has done and the leadership he showed so many of us in times of difficulty.” Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, leader of the California Labor Federation and a former state assemblywoman, said this about the ruling: “Today the Appeals Court chose to stand with powerful corporations over working people, allowing companies to buy their way out of our state’s labor laws and undermine our state constitution.”She has declined to discuss the specifics of the work she did for Uber. And Gonzalez Fletcher has declined to comment on Butler’s appointment to the Senate.
If Newsom really wanted to pick a Black woman who has paid her dues and done the hard work of standing in front of voters to get elected, he would not have chosen Laphonza Butler. Salinger had been press secretary to President John F. Kennedy before serving a brief stint in the Senate that ended after a few months when he was defeated by Republican George Murphy in November of 1964. Unlike Butler, Salinger was born and raised in California. He grew up, was educated and worked in San Francisco before working for JFK.
