Alex Padilla will be taking over Kamala Harris' place in representing California in the United States Senate. He will be the first Latino to represent California.
Coming from immigrant parents, Alex Padilla said,
I am honored and humbled by the trust placed in me by Governor Newsom, and I intend to work each and every day to honor that trust and deliver for all Californians. From those struggling to make ends meet to the small businesses fighting to keep their doors open to the health care workers looking for relief, please know that I am going to the Senate to fight for you. We will get through this pandemic together and rebuild our economy in a way that doesn’t leave working families behind.
