just stop it

Washington Post on the new Senator from California:

She will become the second Black woman after Harris to represent California in the Senate

Does that make you think what it makes me think? So who was the first after Harris?

Can we just stop using this kind of phrasing, which occurs all the time, or at least put a couple of commas around "after Harris" so it doesn't look dependent on "second Black woman"?
