Sen. Laphonza Butler not running in 2024 after filling Dianne Feinstein's seat_我的网站

不明觉厉

A | AI摘要 8月17日，福建省“电影+”消费推进会在福州召开。 California Sen. Laphonza Butler will not seek to be elected to a full term in 2024 after she was recently appointed to succeed the late Dianne Feinstein, a decision that removes one potential candidate from an already crowded field, she said in a statement on Thursday."I've spent the past 16 days pursuing my clarity - what kind of life I want to have, what kind of service I want to offer and what kind of voice I want to bring forward," she said. "After considering those questions, I've decided not to run for Senate in the upcoming election."Butler, a longtime Democratic strategist and labor leader in California who has never held elected office before, added that "knowing you can win a campaign doesn't always mean you should run a campaign" and said that while the decision may have caught some by surprise, "it's the right one for me."The news was first reported by The New York Times.Butler's appointment helped California Gov. Gavin Newsom fulfill his promise to appoint a Black woman to Feinstein's seat in the event of a vacancy. When Butler was sworn in on Oct. 3, she became only the third Black woman to ever serve in the upper chamber. She took her oath from Vice President Kamala Harris, who was the second.Formerly the president of EMILY's List, a pro-abortion access political group, Butler is also only the second openly gay woman to serve in the Senate after Tammy Baldwin was elected in 2012 in Wisconsin.With Butler's decision to step aside from the 2024 race, she clears the way for an open race to succeed Feinstein. In California, all candidates will run in the March primary together, regardless of party, with the top two advancing to the general election next November.The primary field currently features three high-profile congressional Democrats: Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee.Last week, 10-time MLB All-Star and former Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Steve Garvey announced that he was running for the seat as a Republican and, on Wednesday, Christina Pascucci, a former TV anchor and reporter in Los Angeles, said that she would also run as a Democrat.Schiff and Porter have so far led the field, according to 538.Butler, who will serve out the remainder of Feinstein's term, through January 2025, has not endorsed any of the candidates."California voters want leaders who think about them and the issues they care most about. I now have 383 days to serve the people of California with every ounce of energy and effort that I have," Butler said in her statement on Thursday. "Muhammad Ali once said, 'Don't count the days, make the days count.' I intend to do just that."。会议部署落实“2026电影经济促进年”工作，提出通过优质内容、惠民补贴、票根经济及终端建设等举措，提振电影消费市场。东南网8月18日讯（福建日报记者林清智郭斌） 8月17日，福建省“电影+”消费推进会在福州召开。会议贯彻落实国家电影局关于“2026电影经济促进年”及“电影+”消费综合试点工作部署，交流推广试点城市经验做法，研究部署相关思路举措。会议指出，电影是服务消费的重要组成部分，也是拉动关联消费的强劲引擎。全省各地要深入贯彻落实党中央决策部署及省委工作要求，切实把电影促消费工作抓紧抓实抓出成效。要以优质内容供给为根本，加大对优秀影片的创作扶持力度，高度重视排片和宣发工作，以好作品夯实电影消费“基本盘”；以惠民补贴为杠杆，用好电影促消费专项资金，主动对接金融机构和票务平台，降低群众观影“门槛价”；以票根经济为纽带，推动影院与商圈、酒店、景区等消费场景建立票根互认机制，拓宽电影消费“生态圈”；以终端建设为支撑，推动电影院向综合性文化体验空间转型，做大做强县域电影市场，打通电影消费“最后一公里”。会上，福州市委宣传部就“电影+”消费综合试点工作进展作专题汇报，厦门、漳州、泉州市委宣传部，2026年票房表现优秀的晋江、福清、南安、仙游、福鼎等5个县（市）党委宣传部以及院线代表作交流发言。相关省直单位、省内金融机构代表参加了会议。
