The California Democrat, who is the president of EMILY’s List, is Gov. Gavin Newsom’s pick to finish out Dianne Feinstein’s Senate term.
She will be the first Black, openly LGBTQ+ woman to serve in either chamber of Congress.
“It is only right that a Black woman who has paved the way for countless others to lead is now given an opportunity to lead herself,” said NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson. “The NAACP commends Governor Newsom for taking steps to fill the gaps in representation that currently exist within our Senate ... One thing is clear ― Black women are supreme.”
