It's almost like we'd forgotten that California's senators are allowed to be from Southern California.๐Ÿ˜‰ Congrats to @AlexPadilla4CA.

His appointment will make history. But the @AlexPadilla4CA I know is far more interested in changing history -- especially for the working men and women of our state and country. I can think of no one better to represent the state of California as our next United States Senator.

The last _Democratic_ Senator from Southern California was John V. Tunney, who was elected to a single 6-year term in 1970. * I count Barbara Boxer as being _from_ Northern California, although she moved to Southern California during her third term (of four) in the Senate.
