United States Senate

The United States Senate is a legislative chamber in the bicameral legislature of the United States, and together with the U.S. House of Representatives, makes up the United States Congress. The Constitution prescribes that the Senate be composed of two Senators from each State and that a Senator must be at least thirty years of age, have been a citizen of the United States for nine years, and, when elected, be a resident of the State from which he or she is chosen. The following Senators represent California. 

Senator Laphonza Butler

On October 1, 2023, Laphonza Butler was appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom to complete the United States Senate term of the late Senator Dianne Feinstein, which runs through 2024. Butler was sworn in as California's first openly LGBTQ United States Senator and the first Black lesbian to openly serve in Congress in American history. For more than a decade, Butler served as the president of the largest labor union in California — SEIU Local 2015 — a union representing more than 325,000 nursing home and home-care workers throughout the state. Butler also served as president of EMILYs list, which is dedicated to electing Democratic pro-choice women. Butler received a bachelor of arts degree in political science from Jackson State University.

Senator Butler serves on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and Senate Committee on Rules and Administration.

Senator Alex Padilla

Alex Padilla was sworn in as California’s first Latino Secretary of State on January 5, 2015 and was re-elected in 2018, receiving the most votes of any Latino elected official in the United States. As Secretary of State, Padilla worked to make our elections more accessible and inclusive, while fighting to protect the integrity of our voting systems.
