She doesn't seem too bad, she has a history of helping union workers in nursing and janitorial duties. So she had a good history for organized labor
However....
Butler joined SCRB Strategies as a partner in 2018. At SCRB, she played a central role in Kamala Harris's 2020 presidential campaign. Butler also advised Uber in its dealings with organized labor while at SCRB.
Butler left SCRB in 2020 to join Airbnb as director of public policy and campaigns in North America
SCRB Strategies seems to be a "for profit" political consultation group. Airbnb needs no introductions.
It's hard to say whether she took the money or not. While some organizations declare her net worth around $300,000, others report it around $16 million.
Laphonza Butler owns more than 7 real estate properties, valued at over $3 million in total. These properties bring in nearly $500,000 annually in rental income. She also invests in stocks and government bonds worth $2.5 million. Her investments include big names like Tesla, Microsoft, ExxonMobil, Google, Walmart, Universal Studios, and Bank of America.
TLDR: So at least from what I can see in her past.
She is going to be big oil on issues, she is going to also have a lot of personal incentive to keep rental prices high, and she has a bit of a history defending labor. What that means going forward is going to be hazy.
