Interim U.S. Sen.
Laphonza Butler was convinced she could win a full Senate term in next year’s elections. But she concluded, for her, it wasn’t worth the trouble. This was both unusual and refreshing. People — especially politicians — don’t normally surrender power without a fight, particularly soon after acquiring it. And the Senate is the peak of legislative power in America. But sometimes the wise move is to voluntarily relinquish power. So kudos to Butler, 44, a career labor leader and Democratic activist.
” Bill Carrick, Feinstein’s career-long strategist who isn’t involved in the race, agrees that Butler “could have been a player. She’d have had a shot.” Even though she has never run for an elective office. Why? Because none of the major Democratic candidates — Reps. Adam B. Schiff of Burbank, Katie Porter of Irvine and Barbara Lee of Oakland — have waged a statewide campaign in California. Their election contests have all been within small-sized districts.
