“Through a stroke of a pen, his actions have denied a Black female representation in the United States Senate.”

“We [are] incredibly hurt and disappointed in the governor’s decision,” Taisha Brown, the chair of the California Democratic Party Black Caucus, said in an interview with the Sacramento Bee. “Through a stroke of a pen, his actions have denied a Black female representation in the United States Senate.”
