‌‌‌John!

We have exciting news: Governor Newsom has nominated California’s Secretary of State Alex Padilla to fill Kamala Harris’s Senate seat. Secretary Padilla will officially be the first Latino senator from California -- a state where every 2 out of 5 people are Latino!

We couldn’t be more excited about this beautiful and historic moment. Help us celebrate by signing a congratulatory card for Secretary Padilla today.

It is long past time that California’s Latino population have this kind of representation, and it’s hard to imagine a better public servant to fill the role than Alex Padilla. A son of hardworking Mexican immigrants and a graduate of Los Angeles public schools, Padilla is intimately connected with the struggles that real Californians face.

As Secretary of State, Padilla modernized our election system, helping to bring millions of new voters from diverse working class communities into the electoral process. We’re confident that as California’s next United States Senator, he’ll bring a similar commitment to enfranchisement to the national level.

We can’t wait to see what soon-to-be Senator Padilla will accomplish. If you are as excited as we are, add your name to his card today.
