Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) announced on Thursday that she will not run for reelection in 2016.
“I am never going to retire. The work is too important. But I will not be running for the Senate in 2016,” she said in a video published on PAC For A Change website.

SENATOR KAMALA HARRIS!!
Make. It. Happen!!
Good on Boxer for stepping down on a Presidential election. We do much better on those.
Unlike Harken who dumped off on the lame duck midterm, historically the worst time for Democrats.
Aw crap. This was always the one vote as a Californian I could rely on to feel good about, no hesitations, always proud to have her as my Senator.

I like Kamala, but she’s no Barbara Boxer.
I’m thinking Jackie Speier. She’s smart, experienced and pretty much fearless.
With all due respect, Speier is 64 and had 5 holes put into her at Jonestown. I just don’t see her serving more than one term. I want someone who is going to endure for a while and kick ass for California at the same time.
Kamala Harris is 50, she could easily get 3 or even 4 terms in…and her progressive credentials are pretty good as well.
What we might both be overlooking, however, is that it would mean that both Senators would be from the Bay Area still. LA probably wants some of the power as well.
Which sadly may mean Villaragosa, whom I really do not like.
