Candidate Caitlyn Jenner: “The butterfly has long been a beautiful symbol of transformational change, even before Silence of the Lambs. And transformational change is something I understand intimately. I also understand just how badly California needs that kind of change. For too long, it’s been trapped in an increasingly ill-fitting image of itself and the way it needs to be. Clearly, that identity no longer works for it: Silicon Valley companies are decamping to Texas, movie and television studios are filming in Georgia of all places, and Latinos can no longer be counted on to vote Democrat no matter what. Partly because Democrats keep calling them Latinx, which is not a name they’ve chosen for themselves. It’s time for real change, California; that’s why I’ve adopted the California sister butterfly as my campaign’s spirit animal.”
