Swearing in of Laphonza Butler
Channel: Senator Peter Welch
Date: 2023-11-02

I was privileged to witness the historic swearing-in of Laphonza Butler, the first LGBTQ+ woman of color to join the Senate.
 
Senator Feinstein's passing is a painful loss for this country, but I know Laphonza will also be a champion for the people of California.
