Gavin Newsom on Sunday. Newsom instead appointed Laphonza Butler to fill the seat of the late Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. "As a woman of color who is lesbian, she is going to provide an important representation, particularly when the rights of women and the LGBTQ+ community are under attack," Rep. Horsford says of Laphonza Butler. Rep. Horsford also comments on the impending government shutdown and immigration reform.
