Gavin Newsom is getting ready to appoint someone to fill the unexpired term of Kamala Harris.
Today, RootsAction.org and the Sunrise Movement jointly launched a petition saying that Congressman Ro Khanna “would make a fantastic choice to be the next U.S. senator from our state.”
The petition calls Khanna “a national champion for vital programs and goals supported by Californians -- such as health care for all, national budget priorities based on human needs, a Green New Deal, opposing bloated military spending and endless wars, criminal justice reform, and a path to citizenship for immigrants.”
Khanna was a national co-chair of the Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign. And last week, Sen. Sanders sent out a tweet saying he was “happy to hear @RoKhanna is in the mix for U.S. Senate” and adding that Khanna “has a bold vision for America and is a proven fighter for working people.”
