John,

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is the daughter of Black and South
Asian immigrant parents. She's the first Black woman elected Vice
President, the first Black woman to represent California in the U.S.
Senate, and only the second Black woman ever to serve in the Senate.

Now, California Governor Gavin Newsom will appoint someone to represent
California in the Senate for the remainder of Kamala's term.

We believe, in honor of her legacy, that he must appoint a powerful,
progressive Black woman to replace Kamala Harris in the U.S. Senate.

California is a big state, and there are many Californian progressive
women of color ready to take up the mantle and serve in the U.S. Senate.
In fact, media reports indicate both Congresswoman Karen Bass and
Congresswoman Barbara Lee are on the short list being considered for this
appointment.

Kamala's mother often told her, "you will be the first to do many things,
but make sure you are not the last."

In that spirit, California should continue Kamala Harris's legacy of
progressive change-making — and send its second Black woman U.S. Senator
to Washington in January.
