Laphonza Butler, appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom to replace the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, declines to seek a full Senate term, citing a quest for personal clarity and a cautious approach to campaigning.
Laphonza Butler, recently tapped by California Gov. Gavin Newsom to temporarily fill the late Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat, announced she will not seek a full term. 'I’ve spent the past 16 days pursuing my clarity — what kind of life I want to have, what kind of service I want to offer and what kind of voice I want to bring forward,' Butler said in a statement posted to X on Thursday.
Newsom appointed Butler, the president of EMILY's List — a Democratic political action committee dedicated to electing pro-abortion Democratic women to office — for the vacant interim Senate seat earlier this month after Feinstein died. She was 90 years old and the longest serving female senator.

Newsom's office told Fox News Digital previously that Butler moved to the suburbs near Washington, D.C., when she became EMILY's List president in 2021 and that she has a house in California. The governor's office said Butler would re-register to vote in California before she was sworn in on Oct. 3.
