But in choosing Padilla, the son of Mexican immigrants and the first in his family to graduate from college, Newsom passed over several Black women who were also strong contenders for that seat, including Representatives Barbara Lee and Karen Bass. That means that when the new Senate convenes next month, there will not be a single Black woman in Congress’s upper chamber and only two Black men, New Jersey’s Cory Booker and South Carolina’s Tim Scott.
