Sen.-elect Adam B. Schiff will be sworn in as California's next U.S. senator, replacing Sen. Laphonza Butler, who was appointed to fill the seat for the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Schiff, a Burbank Democrat and seasoned House representative for nearly 25 years, expressed gratitude towards Butler and leaders like Gov. Gavin Newsom for their support during the transition.
The transition process mirrors other situations, such as New Jersey's Sen. George Helmy and Sen.-elect Andy Kim, illustrating the patterns seen in political appointments and elections.
With Butler's departure and Ladles' history, California faces a unique moment; it will be without a female senator for the first time in decades.
