Who should Newsom appoint to replace Harris in the Senate?

I don’t know current California politics. Who are some candidates? This SF Gate article lists:

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla
Reps. Barbara Lee and Karen Bass
San Francisco Mayor London Breed, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia, Attorney General Xavier Becerra and Reps. Adam Schiff and Katie Porter

Dang, no Auntie Maxine. I would love to see her raise a little hell in the Senate.

Kevin De Leon.

Adam Schiff would be great,since he knows his way around Capitol Hill.

Katie Hill. It will never happen, but it would force an important conversation.

Jerry Brown

Padilla would be my bet (not my choice), because he is Newsom’s strongest politcal competitor in the next election.

I’m a fan of Libby Schaaf. I think she’s the best mayor Oakland has had since Jerry Brown.

First of all, I don’t know whether California has appointment or special election. Does anyone know for certain.

If someone will be appointed, I’d love to see Adam Schiff in the job.

@Love_my_doggie The Governor of California can choose whether to appoint a replacement or hold a special election. Newsom has decided to appoint someone.

I’d also love to see Adam Schiff in the Senate as long as Newsom can appoint his House post too.

<——Called it!

^^ You did!

But where’s your mask?

I am inside my own house, sheltering in place.

Oh, so it’s one rule for Dr J and one rule for Santa filmfann? I’m just yanking your chain because you complained about Dr J.
