Episode 173, Dec 26, 2020, 04:54 PM
Following the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, one of the biggest questions in California politics became who Governor Gavin Newsom would select to fill the Senate seat soon-to-be vacated by Vice President-Elect Harris.
This week, Newsom put the question to rest, selecting California’s Secretary of State Alex Padilla.
On the heels of his selection, Padilla joined Elex Michaelson on The Issue Is to react to his appointment, discuss his quarter century in California politics, his family’s immigrant story, his policy priorities, resolutions for 2021, his favorite movie, and more.
