This morning listening to the news I heard Governor Gavin Newsom appoint Laphonza Butler to replace Diane Feinstein for the rest of her term. It said she currently lives in Maryland and hasn't lived in California for 2 years. 

My question is, was there no one else in all of California qualified to step in that he had to go outside of the state to find someone?
